To try this, see the top of that thread or these notes

This is what I think is the best overall plan

including lots of healthy things to try like exercise, meditation and dietary improvement that have worked for others.

I think you are on a better course now and actually have a better chance of escaping from depression this way than with the standard "meds+therapy" route.

Oh, Vital, this is kind of funny. I really like the Snap Plan. I feel I am really ready for something like that. But don't laugh...I can't really snap my fingers so well. I have to think of something different. It has to be something that can be done in public as well as private. I was thinking of rotating the ring I always wear on my left hand. (It could signify rolling into something new...) Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot. I want to be wholly free of depression, but mostly reduce anxiety to a manageable level, by the new year. That's my goal. There's work to be done. I am so ready...
