Feeling Low

hi unrequitted perhaps you have to analize your thoughts a la cognitive behaviour therapy, if you think someone doesn't want to be with you. perhaps you have to question that assumption. i think people pull us out of our depression. they force us to react positively, to some degree. of course if they are perpetually negative, like my wife then that's not so cool. sorry i don't know anything about TMS or Harvard. take care bob

Today I am just feeling tired and low, low on energy. I have recently read a book about alternative therapies, and apparently Harvard has done studies on people with depression and they have a measurably lower level of life energy going on in the frontal left lobe of the brain. Does anybody know what that part of the brain controls, and have you tried TMS on the brain to stimulate energy flow to diminish low feelings? Today, out of the blue, I just felt down and found it hard to smile around others. I just didn't feel Like smiling. I feel like it is beyond my control. The only thoughts I could identify preceeding this blue period was that someone I was with did not really want to be around me. Maybe because I was already blue? Just blue-grey today...
