How to recover from Depression and Suicidal Thoughts - #20408

Nadia Elabdaly

I am suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts for the past 2 years. I have no motivation to get up early in the morning or to exercise or do chores. Shopping is very difficult and I feel sad and depressed all the time. I have been thinking about suicide for a long time. I need to find work and have no motivation to find a job either.

It's tough to navigate through what you're experiencing, and it's crucial to acknowledge the severity of such feelings and thought. Depression and suicidal ideations often require immediate assistance from mental health professionals. Ensure you're in touch with a mental health counselor or psychiatrist for urgent support and to devise a treatment plan personalized for you. Turning to Ayurveda, it seeks to balance the mind and body by understanding doshas imbalances and overall prakriti. In your case, vata imbalance could be contributing to your mental state, often presenting symptoms like anxiety, lack of motivation, or depressive feelings. Begin your day with abhyanga, which is a full-body sesame oil massage. This calms vata and enhances ojas – the essence of immunity and mental clarity. Use warmed Nalpamaradi tailam if sesame oil is not available. A routine can be grounding, create a schedule to stabilize your day. Although it may seem hard, wake up and sleep at the same time daily. Start simple with tasks that take only a few minutes. Peppermint tea in the morning can refresh and stimulate your senses. Food plays a major role too. Opt for warm, nourishing meals that include ginger tea or herbal teas like Ashwagandha, which is known for its adaptogenic benefits. Avoid cold, dry foods or skipping meals, which exacerbates vata. Supplement your diet with Triphala churna before bedtime to maintain digestion and detoxify. Tongue Scraping first thing in the morning can help maintain oral hygiene, clearing away any morning odors while invigorating your senses. Yoga and pranayama are invaluable. Practice slow-paced pranayama focusing on ujjayi breathing. Start with asanas like balasana (child pose) or pranamasana (prayer pose). Even if your motivation is low, beginning small can often rekindle spark within. Engaging regularly with a counselor, alongside Ayurvedic practices, empowers healing the mind and acknowledging inner worth. Reaching out and connecting with loved ones can also be deeply resonating. It’s important, however, to seek immediate professional support, especially when thoughts become overwhelming.
