So I will cut to the chase - I'm at a loss on how to help my girlfriend deal with her depression. Therapy doesn't seemed to have helped.
She is diagnosed Bipolar and has struggled with depression in the past but never like this. It's to the point she hardly ever wants to get out of bed or leave her house.
She also had a very rough up bringing with a lot of trauma and PTSD that just makes it worse.
I know the basics of diet, sleep, morning sunlight, working out etc but it's difficult to get some one in the gym when they have trouble getting out of bed.
Her doctor won't see her for some time...
For the PTSD/traumatic experiences I'm going to propose to her the journaling method Huberman recently talked about.
For depression I'm going to throw it out there for her to try cold plunging, sauna, short HIIT workouts, getting sunlight (or even tanning she has a bed?)....
Open to any and all suggestions. Thank you... So much.
