Holistic approach to treating depression

[limewave]

Diet: I have started taking supplements such as fish oil and various vitamin b's. I have also cut back on poultry and red meats. I am considering going straight vegetarian. And am also staying away from excessive fat and sugars. Bye-bye icecream

Emotionally: for the most part have been doing well. I had a crying spell Saturday evening. But, probably any mother of a toddler embarking on the terrible two's would have too. It was a trying afternoon. I have little help because DH works so much. He's usually gone from 7:30 AM to 9 PM 6 days a week.

Exercise: I had all Sunday morning so I rode my bike 15 miles, swam .75 miles in Lake Michigan and then biked home 15 miles. And enjoyed a family walk Sunday evening. I'm just trying to make sure I do something everyday and it's okay if it's just a walk with DD.

Doctor: I haven't made an appt to see him yet. He's not covered by my insurance and his fees are $90 for 15 minutes. And I have a feeling this appt would be at least 30 minutes. I know I need to do it, so I will start putting some money aside.

The enormous responsibility of what you are doing is not to be underestimated! It can also be so lonely when you are doing it all. I feel like crying on most days around 4:00 simply because my little ones are tantruming and hungry and tired - therefor I am too!

Good luck with your new food choices, hope it helps.
