Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm in Los Angeles taking care of my sister who is going through her fourth major clinical depression and this time is very bad. She had not slept in almost a month until her psychiatrist put her on a stronger sleeping pill. She is not a raw foodist but usually eats fairly healthy and mostly vegetarian. She will barely eat or drink anything but will, with much fighting, drink some green smoothie a few times a day with some Waiora EDN (super liquid vitamins that I have to sneak in) but will not eat anything. Anyone have any experience with clinical depression or words of wisdom? I hate that she's on drugs right now but sleep is the most important thing. I don't think she would hurt herself but she is very weak and would like to totally give up and just die. I know it's because she can't think rationally. She feels like she is dying. She's 55, hasn't worked in a while so no insurance, been pretty healthy until some major things happened in her life all at once so now it seems that when anything major happens, she is once again susceptible. She pulled through the last 3 times but this time is scary. Her friend and I were ready to take her to the ER last night as she refused to take her sleeping pill. We finally crushed it up into a little smoothie and she took it and finally got a little sleep. Thanks for listening...Joan Wyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Joan, So sorry to hear your sister is not well. I noticed you are in Los Angeles. There is a place called Erewhon Market. They have an tonic/elixir bar inside that is run by Truth Calkins. He is a genius with chinese herbs and healing tonics. Please go in and have a conversation with him. Just off the top of my head, make sure she is getting high grade essential fatty acids like evening primrose oil and ground up chia seeds. Also, how is her mineral intake? Please go see Truth! I'll be praying for you and your sister. Peace on earth.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi again Joan, Forgot to add exercise! Sun on her skin and working her body enough to breath in air deeply. So very important. Do you have an ipod with energizing music or lectures that will help raise her emotionally? It's basic stuff, but so important. I know she won't want to participate, but tell her you need the company. Good, good luck to you both! Peace on earth.
