Hi Hitomi, it’s hard for me to answer this because depression is so individual and I don’t necessarily feel qualified to even comment, since I’m no expert.

But from my own experience, when I feel down I try to rest and *truly* relax a lot, eat very nutritious foods (think green juice, seaweed, steamed greens, lentils, etc) get outside and get sun if possible, TALK it all out with a friend – often over and over and over again, ha! and I’ve found that Maca is a supplement that really helps me.

Just my own experience. Best of luck to you, and a big hug!

I ended up having to add more beans and leaving it for much longer. For gifts, I poured it into small pretty bottles, added a bean to each bottle, and attached a tag that said “To be opened come spring” =)

As a mathematician, I LOVE that Waits plays with your calculator! Way to go momma! Can’t start them early enough <3 (Although my school age kids hate that I don't let them use calculators at home. I've seen too many students use them as a crutch…)

My love list:
(1) TEA! I'm sinus deep in a 2 week (and counting) illness and this hot elixir is the only thing keeping me going.
(2) Playing cards with my hubby and kids at the local coffee shop. They have live music 6 nights a week! Cheap family entertainment that gets my butt off the couch.
(3) Soy Curls! Its quickly become a dinnertime favorite with my family. My 13 year old calls it F'icken (Fake-Chicken) sort of like F'acon = Fake Bacon.

Well I’m happy for you! My past 2 weeks were terrible! My depression is back and I was feeling down and fighting with my sweetheart a lot! I’m really sick of this and need to heal. Do you have any idea how I can beat this depression?

You should consider teaching classes Sayward- nutrition, recipes, baby care, natural home care, field trips to local markets… A vegan “home economics” course!!! I would absolutely pay for that!

I may have missed this at some point – but what happened with the vanilla extract? How did it turn out?
