The most often recommended is-
Meditation
Diet
Exercise
Of course when I am severely depressed there is no way I am going to exercise and my appetite is all over the place.
I would strongly recommend meditation. It has helped me a great deal but it has not cured my depression. I don't think there is a cure. It has helped me become much more aware of what is going on with me at any given time.
I would strongly recommend journaling. Keep a journal each day of what you are feeling, thinking, what is going on in your life, anxieties etc etc...it really helps me. Some mornings I can't wait to get on my computer and just get it all out in writing.
This site has been a tremendous help to me.

Where I am there seems to be very few options. And I've been on dozens and dozens of medication. I have nightmares so I refuse to do sleep meds Bc they force me to stay asleep and I have to live through the nightmare every single time with no option of waking up and stopping it.
I am hypoglycemic so my diet is very regulated. I have to eat healthy food, if and when I fall off that bandwagon I'm even more miserable because my blood sugar is all over the place.
I use to write all the time, stories would flow out of me and I'd often fill notebooks full. But I have had zero desire to write or journal and half the time I doubt I'd even know where to start as half the time I don't even know what's running through my own head...it's just a jumble of everything I can't even pick out one thing to focus on.
As for meditation I'm not even sure how to do that...or where to start or anything...
