What to do for depression?

Before starting psychotropic meds ask yourself three questions, am I getting enough exercise, enough rest and proper nutrition. These are three vital factors in proper brain functioning and neglecting just one will cause symptoms of depression. However, you're crossroads situation will resolve itself with time. Graduate college, get a job, move out of your moms, and then with your free time experiment with the things you enjoy and look into different career options involving these activities. Stay away from drugs and alcohol and you'll be fine. Mix those with depression and life falls apart along with any future you possibly had. Your whole life is ahead of you and there is no reason to attempt to figure it all out now. That is impossible. Just keep doing the next right thing. Life is not perfect and learning to take the good with the bad is impossible sometimes with all the poster children around us whose lifestyles and status quo we are force fed daily. Social imprinting through media has scarred our society and become such an accepted part of our culture we rarely question it. Leave it to Beaver is a load of ****. Turn off the TV and tune out Mom if she's living vicariously through you or controlling your life. Just be yourself and do what makes you happy. And if your not sure what that is yet try and find it.
