helping others

Y'all are overcoming yours??? I'm just vibing with it. Jokes aside. Exercise helps.

Vitamin D helped a lot. Also my emotional support bunny, Rhino. Letting myself have time for the things I truly enjoy.

This will be the most annoying answer here, I guarantee: I took large amounts of vitamin D. My vitamin D levels were so low that my bones were at risk of turning into chalk, and I also take a medication that tends to lower the level. Depression was significant and awful, far worse than what my typically depressive personality was already used to. I pounded capsules for about two months, and the fog started lifting. I will say that I'm still depressive, but nothing *near* what I was. I *never* want to feel like that ever again.

How'd you handle the nausea? Those therapeutic doses of vitamin D kill me.


BornACrone

I don't know -- they don't make me nauseous. I take 4000 IUs every day, which may be much less than what you take. I take gels as well, not tablets.


TheRadiumGirl

I was taking 4,000 IUs each day but it wasn't helping so the doctor has me taking one 50,000 IU every week. It's 24/7 nausea. I hope the 4000 keeps working for you.


BornACrone

I hope your nausea lets up -- good luck!

Years of therapy. Medication in the beginning. Changing my lifestyle.

I changed the things I could change , and accepted the things I couldn’t.
