Here we go again!
My life is dramatically changing. Everything seems to be coming together for good.
This last spring, my boyfriend of six years, Niko, went through a serious depression, it was so awful that I thought for sure it would be the end of things.
It wasn't.
Fast forward to the beginning of summer, our first camping trip that we didnt need to wear a heavy coat (i live in Alaska) and Niko broke his ankle that trip. After that everything changed, he began to realize how much I do for him and it brought him out of his depression.
Now I have never been happier with my daily life. We practice yoga every night together, and I feel like we have never been closer.
The problem is this: Everything is going so well that I am constantly worrying about the depression returning. Here in AK we get very little daylight throughout the winter, which i beleive was the cause of the depression in the first place!
Anyone else go through depression during the winter? Or have any tips?
I had depression for many years. Two things that I did that were to take St Johns Wort and I began meditating. The meditation has completely changed my life. I highly recommend that your boyfriend give concentration (samatha) meditation a good serious try. Would probably fit in nicely after a yoga session. �� I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the suggestion, I will incorporate that after the savasana pose. Also how was the St. Johns wart, i have heard of people using that as well, is there a noticeable difference?
