Help answer this question below.

I don't have insurance and am feeling incredibly overwhelmed and depressed. Is there anything I can do to feel better? I've told my husband about this, and he is trying to help, but it is SO HARD. I don't know how to cope.

    I don't know if you have them but many places have free clinics or health departments for those who have no insurance or money.

    There are free resources in most communities. If in the US, look in the blue pages in your phone book for mental health services provided by the county or state. Find a church and talk to the minister,pastor or priest. Find a local support group.

    Also, there are other things that you can do that won't "cure" your depression but will help you manage it.

    Get yourself on a very routine cycle. To bed within the same two hour time frame each night 7 to 9 hours sleep and up within the same two hour time frame in the a.m.

    Get outdoors and go for a walk - even if for only 10 or 15 minutes. The sunlight is good for you and the fresh air and exercise will help oxygenate your blood and invigorate you.

    Eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies and drink water. Lay off sweets and treats and meats for a bit. They are harder for your body to process and digest and don't give as much back to you.

    BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    well you know you can have it if you want to , but in the mean time know that your wellbeing is in your hands,

    you now what worry does ? it makes you sick, and depressed, and gives you diseases
    BUT you know what optimism and faith does ?

    it gives you what you are hopeful for

    if you need some real help just say to yourself THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY , I AM NOW ABLE TO PAY FOR MY INSURANCE AND YET I AM ALWAYS OKAY AND THINGS ALWAYS GO MY WAY

    look, it might take thousands of times of saying that, but its all in your head,

    someone that thinks they are a dog, they are crazy , there are people that think they are dogs, its from CONVINCING THEMSELVES, but once they are convinced man, just try to teach them they aren't, this is how reality works, its in your mind.

    affirmations either really inspire you very quickly ,
    or you go through things like, grumpy, doubtful, angry, depressed, sad, exasperated, calm, okay, mediocre, then starting to feel it, then suddenly you kind of bust out into laughter because you KNOW its starting to work, its a bit like trying to build a fire by rubbing sticks together, it makes your strong enough to succeed.

    and yes of course you will have to take actions , but at least convince yourself you are going to be fine !

    YOU ARE ALWAYS OKAY , THINGS ALWAYS WORK OUT FOR YOU , YOU ARE GETTING HAPPIER EACH DAY , AND THESE THINGS ARE BEING DIVINELY TAKEN CARE OF ,

    decee

    I AM MY OWN INSURANCE, I AM FREE, ABUNDANCE IS MANIFESTING IN PERFECT WAYS, ALL NECESSARY SITUATIONS ARE NOW COMING, THIS CHANGE IS SETTING ME FREE TO EVER NEW HEIGHTS

    pretend it, make it, make it be , its your mind,

    you wouldnt be messed up and depressed unless people hypnotised you to feel woeful and be like OH MY GOD WHATS' WRONG WITH YOU

    nothing at all is wrong with you !
