Definitely. It's a bit strange that these type of things are called "new age" because it's often the case that reverting back to traditional grown foods and less stimulation of all kinds is MUCH healthier than the sort of living most of us do these days.

I'll agree to that, but its hard with the schedules most of us have. Be to work at 11:30, 30 minutes for lunch, get home at 8:00. Sitting down to a nice home cooked healthy meal just doesn't fit my schedule.

There are some foods I just can't stand. Trying to stomach down something because its "healthy" just puts me in a shitty mood if I have to force myself to eat it.

Although when I do have a chance to eat well I definitely feel better, and there is a change in my mood. All the stress and a poor diet probably contribute to a large part of my depression. I would definitely suggest trying the food thing, and also do more of the things you enjoy. And an example that some might consider rude.. if you're the type of person like me who doesn't snap at people.. start doing it. When someone is being a complete *******, let them know. Don't just smile and let it blow over .. let off some steam. It seriously helps. And if they deserve it you don't have to feel bad, and just maybe next time that person won't be quite so rude if they know you're not just going to stand there and take abuse.

There's a million and one things that help different people. I, personally, would avoid meds. I believe that things can be done, and done better, the natural way.
