[Help] How to treat depression and other related disorders through the practices

[borbponderer]

Our modern way of life places so many demands upon us that our animal self rebels against it, so it fights back by making us torpid and lethargic and depressed. Then we feel the guilt that we are not living up to societal demands, but also the fear of what will happen if we allow ourselves to let go, and how our lives might unravel.

At least this has been part of my process. I've gotten over the guilt, and embraced my utter lack of work ethic, and I've arranged my life in such a way as to be reasonably secure.

But I'm still pretty messed up and carry a lot of trauma, and whole lot of anger which is directed at the world now, rather than inward self destructively or towards my friends. I also take SSRIs which don't at all interfere with my magical or spiritual practice like you might imagine, but keep me on the level.

But I often wonder where I would be if I'd never started taking them. How much is a chemical dependancy, and how much is actually masking my internal chaos? My life is about as good as it's ever been, and I consider myself to be quite a happy and satisfied person in myself, as much as anyone can be, but stopping taking them, or even small reductions in dose, are out of the question, as I know from experience

I also use this in cooking and making recipes, being able to put together a heavenly meal out of ingredients around and rudimentary knowledge on cooking. The expressions i see on the faces prove this. If you were to study medical, something i didnt you will find my debunk on the guys claims to be accurate, as there are many actual studies that disprove it. I dont have the time to go and look for them but i know they're out there. On top of that understanding the science of why it happens or why it doesnt happen is an important part of it.

I looked this up very briefly looking up this topic I heard there were result but kind of small. But I have used binural beats before to help sleep and they work well from my own expierence. That might just be the placebo effects at work since I had similar results except a little less with white noise to sleep.

The placebo effect does work so even if the science doesn't completely back it up. Its not the worse method to help falling asleep. Its like white noise except less loud. Depression can come with insomnia so I think its an okay method to help sleep despite not being that effective. Especially with poor mental health since I find it helps quiet the mind to sleep. The same could be said for white noise though so a bit iffy still helps slightly.

I use this all the time especially in behavioural prediction for safety, because the road in asia isnt safe.

Nice that can help.

You may think im acting like this, but in truth i dont tolerate bad behaviour, if i see something harmful and bad i will act on it. Theres been so many responses to this post that i've not commented on. Just because i disagree with your suggestions that you so brazenly believe because they are patented and look like real scientific research doesnt mean im acting like i know everything. The way you act is the same way many of the LHP act in regards to angels, as they think angels as arrogant but they just cant see what the angels see to understand.

I think this generalizing LHP's a bit. Some lean toward atheist/agnostic/another third thing so some might not even think angels exist or see them as egregores/psychological forces of the mind.

Another thing to keep in mind is that I think/heard that some angels discourage work with any daemon/entity outside that. To LHP's that can but not always focus on those entities that can come across as a little rude. Not to mention they wouldn't even be able to do LHP work if they took that offer. It might depend on the angel and I might be generalizing about angels since I don't think I know them that well.

Anyway depression is tough to deal with I try to deal with low moods by trying to deal with emotions a lot and having space to process. Having depression like symptoms feels to me as if I have more emotional work to do than other people. So it feels like constantly doing emotional work for no reward and it gets challenging but I try to take it one day at a time and reassure myself that I tried my best which is all I can do.
