Hi Ewok, Here is a few ideas:
First,
Rushing to heal is the single biggest mistake any student of tms make in their journey to heal. Steve O had advised people not to do that all the time. Doctor Weekes also told us to give it TIME. But we rarely listen to the experts. We all want to heal yesterday. We all want a magic pill that cure instantly. It's not going to happen.
We rush to heal all the time without realizing we are rushing. We live in a fast food society for so long we just don't know how to be patient. It took a long time for us to get sick with tms, it will take time to heal from it. So please give yourself plenty of time. When you make a conscious decision to give yourself time to heal, your mind will be more accepting of your depression. Your mind will start to make peace with your depression. According to doctor Sarno's theory, Your depression is trying to distract you from your repressed negative emotion (by creating fear. You fear your depression) and now if you accepting it that mean you're less fearful of it, then this distraction is not working, then it will likely leave you soon.
second,
the medicine advertisings all over the internet and television made us believe that the only way to heal from mental illness are for us to use their medicine. They made us think depression is unacceptable and they have the cure. Over time we start to believe in their message and lost confidence in our own ability to heal on our own. We have to recognize that and have to change our belief. We are perfectly capable of healing ourselves, just by accepting it then ignore it, then just LIVE. Just live like we never have depression. Fake it if you have to. Fully living your life despite your depression. It will leave you.
Third,
The power or your mind. The power of positive words. This subject has been researched for years and researchers had prove that positive mind and positive words that we use and practice persistently and repeatedly will bring about positive change in our mind. It will. It worked for me. It work for ACE1 (he is a cancer doctor and a member at tmshelp.com forum) and it work for countless other people. You just have to be persistent.
There are thousand of way to get better: praying, meditation, tapping, running, exercising, therapy.... They will all help. But you will only completely cure when you start to accept it.
good luck Ewok.
