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 was just wondering if meditation helps anyone? I tried it awhile back and it helped me. I noticed I felt calmer but then I read that if u try it urself it can be dangerous like u can channel bad spirts or something. So then I got scared and stopped.
Does anyone know the safe way to mediate or could any one let me in on there meditation routines?

I don't believe that any bad spirits have to be involved. It's just you, trying to get in touch with your inner being. If you feel something bad coming up you just let it pass, don't fixate on it.

Thank u for the response. I read online that a guy kept hearing voices after. Thats what got me worried. It does help though so I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried meditation.

Meditation is not channelling. That guy must have been ill to begin with. I hear it helps, I just can't shut my mind down long enough to do it. If you go on youtube you'll find something. If you have the patience I hear from others that it's a really good way to find inner piece

I use guided meditations. There are some excelent ones at excelatlife.com if you search for downloads. I have some other ones on my tablet that I like. I haven't tried them when I've been this depressed. They are very good for calming down or for a panic attack or to get in touch with feelings.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
