Find a way to be around people if you have no peeps. I don't have them either and it is not easy to find friends. But get yourself somewhere where you have positive human interaction. For me this is yoga, plenty of warm friendly peaceful loving people for me to interact with there. Even when I go to a store I make effort to chat a bit to the teller and have happy interactions. I go to the same places often so they get to recognize you and know you a bit. Even those small interactions help. No you are not going to feel like going for a jog or a walk, but when the body is lethargic it often doesn't need rest but movement. Moving give us more energy, sitting give us more tiredness. It's hard to break out of that circle but it's the starting part that is the hardest. Lithium gave me little energy but once I started being more active I got more energy back.

When you feel depression approaching, remind and stay aware of doing opposites. It's not always easy, doesn't always feel good but it works. Your mind says stay in bed/couch..watch tv... opposite/ go for a jog around the block, move your body. You want to hibrinate, go somewhere and smile at a stranger, say hello in passing. Is there an interest you have that you could join up doing it with other people?

All those small opposites we can do add up. We cannot think or feel our way out of depression usually, but behaving our way out with actions impacts our thoughts and the feelings will also follow suit.

The trick is being consistant, and with practise it gets much easier to overcome and fight the urges to withdrawal from living. I always think in opposites when I feel depression coming and put it into action. I learned this in intensive therapy and it really has helped not only to get out of depression but to keep from going there. It is the same with thoughts, the ones you feed and entertain, give focus to will grow, and the ones you starve of attentention will wither away. We do have some choice about which we feed and which we starve.

I hope that might help you a bit too.

Mundfulness is an excellent thing for people in general and especially for people who are suffering. Look up Jon Kabot Zinn on you tube. He has many excellent videos on this as do others on this subject. That might be a huge help for you. It has help me so much.

I am not on meds either, but I use mindfulness, yoga, meditation, exercise, diet and perspective as my tools for wellness.
