I JUST saw this today : exhaustion and depression can be tied to stress & cortisol levels build up in the body. As well as weight gain.Stress being the main culprit.
Subject:On cortisol try stress busters like Zinc & selenium,Brazil nuts , iodized salt, need-ashwagandha 1 capsule for thyroid.
Cortisol is a stress hormone: solution for stress is to lower cortisol levels, eat whole grain cereal breakfast, one half cup middle day - omega 3 salmon, beans , afternoon eat kiwi, vitamin C stops cortisol papaya, oranges and zinc. For dinner meat, red or white, always one half cup each time. The thyroid controls hormones signaled in the brain to the body together with the adrenal glands, regulates every system in our body. Including mood swings. Eating foods can help with the blues.it really helps me.
So many suffer with depression need hope and understanding from others. Depression is not a good place, especially if you find yourself stuck.
As we all have those down days, depression is different that just feeling down. It's more that overwhelming darkness that can get a grip and it's hard to break loose.
Ways to break loose. I love to listen to music and do something for a neighbor, play with my beloved animals, exercise. Go out for a walk just move. Takes me somewhere else & I feel better. In just a matter of a few minutes.
Anxiety and panic attacks are the worst. Many Meds do help. IThry can replace the hormones in the brain causing imbalance and depression.
It is very overwhelming. I hope you understand.
Maybe not everyone see's eye to eye on many thoughts but we do know how depression feels. It's different for everyone but miserable once your in it's clutches.
It does take time to find the right diagnosis for depression, seasonal depression or clinical depression, stress, or whatever the cause. I believe we all are helping each other the best way we know how thru kindness and caring for our forum friends.
Happiness, Laughter, & Peace
Hope xxxx
