There is no discrimanation between a man or a woman. Even women get depressed and some turn to booze. Good thing I don't like it much. But I have ice cream and dark chocolate - lately I have put on weight as well. Now that is making me depressed!
This chapter is closed for me for forever.
Since, I am getting back to my healthy lifestyle now as I got over the depression part.. after so many doctor consultations and all... Finally! I have decided to never to turn back to the booze.. You can say it is my new year resolution as well ... but.. I am going to stick to it.
I have controlled boozing!! So less headaches now and noticed I am less depressed. Now I realize it never actually helped me!
Boozing is never a solution. Not just for men, I see many women too drowning themselves in drinks. Even, I tried sinking several times. It never solved my problem, instead gave me a horrible hangover next morning.
I actually turn to booze whenever, I am depressed. I suppose, I was doing the wrong thing. Putting a check on my alcohol consumption.

Last night I was too nervious and anxious for some reason. I litterally had pain in my heart. I tried drinking water but couldn't help. It was bedtime, so I just switched of the light and started taking deep breaths after 30 minutes or so I realized I have fallen asleep and the pain was gone. And I have calm down.
Deep breathing helps me to control my racing heart. I am doing it very often these days. It also calms me down.
It has been 3 years, I have been crazy about workouts. Okay, I wanted to pursue a career in it but, life wasn't meaningful. I always felt, I have potential to do more something better. I got depressed. Should I change my career ..do something better?
Though the course is for men, but I couldn't help to join it. I am still not sure if I can reduce my anxiety ith yoga, or meditation. It is generally so severe that I almost faint.

I am on Keto Diet these days and doing good. Initially, it was very hard for me but now I got it right. No carbs at all. I am actually feeling pretty healthy and fit these days and skin is glowing.
As I eat fresh and organic food, I feel good and energetic. We need to eat healthy to be healthy.

I have always maintained a healthy diet, lots of healthy and llean meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts! It is my top priority, also it helps me to stay in good mood.

Any aerobic activity – be it walking, jogging, cycling or swimming can stimulate chemicals in the brain that combat stress, anxiety and moodiness. Don’t deny that there is a problem; rather accept the fact that you are depressed and take necessary action. Consult a doctor if necessary.
A high-impact cardio followed by a steam bath works amazingly for women! Tried and tested stress-buster! did anyone else try it?
Whenever, I miss my morning jog I actually do the dance carido routine. I saw one on youtube. However, it was a 40 minutes vedios I could only do for 15 minutes. What a result!!
Walking under the open sky lets the fresh air into my head. Really feels good.
When stressed, I take deep breath and take a walk in open. Fresh air unblocks mind.
Getting back to workout. An active life makes me so happy.
My doctor wanted me to get moving and again meditate.............. It's so crazy!
Even my doctor suggested me to get more physically active. I am still confused..I have started taking anti-depressants. But I know I can't take that lifelong. I have no answer what exactly I should do.. I get home very late, and whenever I am home its mostly depressing. I even try not to return back.
I must try doing some activity... I have become too much of lazy these days.
I used sit down in front of the T.V. with some drinks. I will go for a walk next time I am depressed.

I am really happy, that finally I am free of my depression. But I must do it the right way now. Even, my doctor mentined that if I don't work it out myself next time it could be worse than this.
It's been a week now I am seeing the doctor. It is good but not much. Doctor says I need to meditate and calm down. Still having difficulty to sleep!
The biggest blunder of my life. I ignored my headaches thoughts its migraine. Finally consulted a doctor.
