Re: Feeling Depressed and Suicidal

Tom..

Castor oil packs over the liver might help raise your spirits. I've read from more than one site that castor oil liver packs help with emotional issues. Since your liver has been working hard, and you're dealing with Depression as a side effect, you probably need to get rid of all the negative emotions that you've been holding on to.

N-acetyl-cysteine also helps the liver detox. NAC is given as an IV in ER's for acetaminophen poisoning. 1-2 grams a couple of times a day might be helpful too.

Another thing that you might give a try are Bach remedies. I know that Rescue remedy is very helpful for fears, anxiety, heated emotions, etc.

lists all the remedies and what each one is good for. Here are some remedies specifically for depression:

Depression.

Mustard: Helps you when you feel suddenly depressed without reason. It feels like a cold dark cloud has destroyed all happiness and cheerfulness. The Depression can lift just as sudden for no reason.

Elm: You feel overwhelmed by your work load and matters of life and you feel depressed and exhausted.

Sweet Chestnut: For those moments which happen to some people when the anguish is so great as to seem to be unbearable. When the mind or body feels as if it had borne to the uttermost limit of its endurance, and that now it must give way. When it seems there is nothing but destruction and annihilation left to face.

Willow: Helps you when you have suffered adversity or misfortune and find it difficult to accept. You feel sorry for yourself and are grumble and sulky.

Gorse: When you feel a great hopelessness, you have given up belief that more can be done for you. Under persuasion or to please others you may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there is so little hope of relief.

Gentian: When you are easily discouraged. You may be progressing well in illness or in the affairs of their daily life, but any small delay or hindrance to progress causes doubt and soon disheartens you.


Hope you're feeling better soon!
