Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I had treatment #2 yesterday. It went well and was most relaxing for the most part. The difficult part is day after. Last week I awoke with a slight headache and low kidney back pain that subsided over the course of the day. This time~ YIKES! I had a really horrible kidney pain after a sleepless night of ongoing nightsweats plus the killer headache all day long....Checkout my journal (friends only) for more details.
I am drinking lots of H20...peeing like crazy...Oh yeah, and Curly (my avatar horse) had her second accupuncture treatment as of today.
She seems to be feeling very energetic according to her vet so I will visiting her at the horse clinic tomorrow.
Anyhow, a heartfelt thank you to one and all for asking about Curly and for your interest in accupuncture as a treatment for depression. I think it will take some time for my body to detoxify itself. I hope this doesn't mean I have to give up coffee...that would be a horrible thing!!! :D
The cost for the treatment was $50 and I found out that my health insurance (BlueCross Blueshield of ND) will not cover any of it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
As to cost, some social service agencies do provide this type of service. Look at the webpage for your city government and see "social services". There may be a local place where you can continue free of charge.
As someone with depression and if you have a diagnoses, you are likely eligible for a wide variety of supports and services in your city.
You could also call your local hospital and ask to speak to a social worker who could assist you with those issues.
