>>13183118I was feeling sad last night with enough anxiety to prevent me from sleeping. Life dramas, what can you do. I made myself a cup of strong chamomile tea and added some saffron. Picrel shows how much saffron I used. It swells in the water. By the time it cooled down I only needed to drink half before I was able to sleep. The quality and freshness of the ingredients is important. Most teas I have tried are ineffective. Avoiding teabags and getting loose tea and a strainer of some kind will help you find better quality products.
I think it is important to combat the depression prior to combatting your lack of motivation. This is the stage I am at in my life anyway. Depression conquered, motivation growing slowly.
>>13183379This is important and basic and easy stuff that everybody should be doing but few people do. It helps a lot.
>>13183191This makes a lot of sense to me. My understanding of things like depression is that they are most often the result of negative brain circuits being reinforced by frequent use. By creating new circuits, this could trigger an avalanche of neurons shifting connections to reinforce the more positive new circuits instead. Especially if combined with something that could enhance neuroplasticity.
