I have O....I do pray that your days brighten soon.<br /><br />I have O.C.D. and overthinking something is my forte. I have been on meds for a while, and while I know that everyone is different, I have not had much in the way of side effects. Most Dr's can put you on a low dose, just enough to give you a bump. Excercise is indeed the best medicine, but that's not what someone wants to hear when they are depressed. Medicine may help you start the process. I am a firm believer in meds if prescribed and used correctly.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966859360295574831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231156522782617197.post-87849256231917427442011-02-07T15:27:25.037-08:002011-02-07T15:27:25.037-08:00I think what Adam and Wendy posted is great advice...I think what Adam and Wendy posted is great advice! I've always been kind of anti-meds if it can be helped... but I've never really had a problem with depression so I don't know. The only advice I can give is to pray about it to see what God wants you to do. :) And I'll be praying for you too...~April~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00927595932580249523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231156522782617197.post-15121322556544615132011-02-07T13:46:04.959-08:002011-02-07T13:46:04.959-08:00It just so happens that we talked about the effect...It just so happens that we talked about the effects of exercise on depression today! There are studies that show that regular exercise often has the same benefits of medicine (which is particularly good news if you don't want to deal with the side effects medicine brings). In addition, you improve your cardiovascular health if you participate in regular exercise (something medicine can't do for you). PLUS, if you can set up a regular exercise time with someone (whether that means meeting up with a friend to walk or going to a spin class and meeting new people) that can mean someone to hang out with on a regular basis, and you can even use that time together to grow in God. If you're walking with a friend, challenge each other to memorize a verse between walking sessions and while you walk, you can talk about what you learned in your quiet time during the week, as well as what God showed you through the verse you learned that week! :)<br /><br />If you go talk to a doctor, ask them if they have read any of the studies on exercise's effects on depression.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418852577249103528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231156522782617197.post-90061498652054378232011-02-07T11:40:19.678-08:002011-02-07T11:40:19.678-08:00I have debating getting on some meds myself.

But I am not so sure because it seems the side effects are worse than the depression itself.Oilfield Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527580828815598952noreply@blogger.com
