Can you lose you depression without really trying?

Im in counslling and ill do whatever my counsller tells me to do but.. im not really thinking of working of getting over my depression.. I think i feel i dont deserveto be happy..

Is it possible for my depression to go away with just doing what my counsller tells me..?

i took medication for my depression but took myself off the medication because it was not helping things. i still stayed depressed for a while but once something in your life changes and gives you a zeal for life again your depression can go away.
(been off meds for over 18 months but been depression free only 4-5) wish i could tell you exactly because i would have tried it along time ago (suffered severe depression for years)

First of all, for you its not going to be possible for your depression to go away just like that. The statement that you just made speak volumes. I wonder if you had share it with your counselor," I'm not really thinking of working of getting over my depression". That lets me know that you don't have a willingness to help combat the problem. Why do you feel you don't deserve to be happy? What do you think you did that was so horrible and earth shaking that causes you to think that way. If I had physically slapped GOD in the face, then I will warrant me not thinking that I deserve happiness. Nothing else can top that so you shouldn't feel that way.

You need to realise that your thinking that you don't deserve to be happy is a part of your depression. That's something you'll have to get over to get better.

If you mean if it's possible for depression to go away with counselling only and no medication, then yes, it is. However, if you have severe depression, taking medication can help.

its okay ,dont fret !! things could have been much WORSE , believe me.

Want to try something DIFFERENT ???
just do the following RIGHT NOW ;

1--chant OM (OM as in HOME but without the 'H')repeatedly,forget everything just do it NOW !!!!!!!
doing this for 5-10 mins will give a sense of power within you!!!

if you find this useful let me know ,i will tell you a more stronger method.

note: women durimg their periods are not to chant OM but they can chant HARI

this i say to you on basis of teachings of 'param pujya ASARAMJI bapu'

I was on something like a level before depression and I could get out of that without really trying. but only because I lost school stress and relaxed more.It slowly went away then.

But you deserve to be happy like everybody else does! So try your best!
