There are a lot of people who have gotten a lot of benefits from eating raw and being ridden of depression and even worse mental conditions. But maybe it does take you seeking some help in other forms such as talking to someone.

I know you don't agree with a lot of what Rawnora has said to you, but she has a lot of knowledge and information and I really think if you just talk to her...the internet can be such a misguiding way of communicating - you might see that she has a lot to offer you in the way of help. Just think about it - consider that one phone call, hear the sincerity and the calm in her voice. She's been doing this a long time and she has a lot to offer. No, not all of what Nora advocates is always the easiest to chew and digest - but she is a great wealth of knowledge and information. You two may end up talking and she become one of your best friends...you never know! I've seen some VERY bitter/sour relationships end up VERY sweet right here on this very forum and in real life! :)

But even if you decide not to talk to her, again, don't give up hope. Keep coming here even if it's just to read and not say much. We would like to see you come on here one day and say, "OMG...I can't believe it...my depression is GONE!"

Also, keep in mind that just as you've heard about eating raw foods and no longer eating cooked foods brings about detox in the body, it also brings about emotional detox (do a search on it, you'll see some interesting stories and testimonials about people's experiences with that here) and sometimes a lot of things are brought up to be dealt with. Sometimes in addition to eating raw, you have to seek help in other areas too - physical support groups as well as online ones are sometimes helpful just to talk and vent out your feelings.

Well, I think I've rambled enough. I hope my words don't end up fueling the fire, but rather help you to keep focused on your goal and to not give up hope!

Peace and Blessings to you!
