Enemas for depression/SAD?

This is a tough time of year for me, and for anyone who has depression or seasonal affect disorder (SAD). does anyone know if there are any enemas that are particularly good for depression or SAD?

G'day annie, I can speak from experience (66 years in fact) I get comfort and pleasure from my enemas I did say to a senior registered nursing sister that I felt as bad as a hooked on druggie but as she was a smoker, her reply to me was she was doing a lot of damage to her body whereas, if anythng im doing my body a favour and if it is giving me pleasure, TO GO FOR IT. Dr. irrigator333 says "go for it".

My regular enema sessions seems to help remove toxins and makes me feel far less depressed. I take a good amino complex and a good B vitamin complex that goes along with my regular cleansing sessions to make me feel much better.

If so i might need one

I find coffee enemas to be rather "uplifting". I get kinda depressed in winter as well. I'm dreading it right now 😢 .

Dr Daddy is looking for sympathy..I'm in the Dallas area right now, where the temperature is in the high 80's..I can't see winter on the horizon..not here anyway.. ;-)

Grace, the weather could not be any nicer in Dallas this week, except it will be 90 tomorrow, the last until mext May.

Have a gr8 weekend,

The coffee thing has been coming up a lot as a suggestion. I don't drink it but I guess there's no reason it can't go in the other end!

First, let me say I feel for you. I also have SAD. I thought it was BS when I first heard of it. No way. Mine seems to have occurred a couple days after the time change this week. I'll get to the enema in a second, but here are a few other things that help me:

Massive quantities of Vitamin B Complex

Lots of fish oil capsules

I have to make myself get out and do something outside then try to make it for a few seconds longer the next day.

To your question... I don't have any "scientific proof", but anything sexual is always welcome, but serves as a pleasant distraction this time of the year. Warm enemas work best for me. I especially like warm oil ones. They relax me before, during, and after. The other thing that really, really works, is experimentation... reading online, a walk around the grocery store. It gives me something to think about and makes me very much look forward to what it will feel like. Just describing it has pepped me up quite a bit. I hope this helps. Best of luck with making it through the season. I hope this helps you out some.

Annieblue, First it is good you recognize your challenges with SAD and/or depression. Denial does no good.

Second, assuming it bothers you, you need to do something about it. Regardless where you live, you need to get yourself outside especially on a sunny day, but even on a cloudy day getting outside helps. Bundle up as you need for your weather, but get outside.

I spent several years living in Alaska, with the very short days in winter. To make things work my office was underground. So in the midst of winter, it would be dark going to work, and dark for the trip home after work. I made it a point to get outside at lunch time, otherwise I might not see any daylight except for weekends. That made a big difference. Sometimes I would even eat my lunch outside, after clearing snow from a bench.

Next find something you truly enjoy and pursue it. For many on this board, that is enemas. If they bring you pleasure, go for them. Do something to make yourself happy. Even if you are solo, give yourself a big O.

And try to hang with positive people, not ones constantly griping about things, especially things they can't change.

And remember, Spring is coming.

I have been clinically depressed most of my life. In college, it led to my dismissal, "flunk out, " as a freshman. Most recently, it surfaces as grief after the death of my wife. At other times it can cause me to become disfunctional, especially during the holiday season.

Some of the remedies that have helped to relieve my symptoms are:

1. Try to help other people be happy. I especially like to play Santa Claus where I can talk about Adolph the Brown Nosed Reindeer, or ask a stuck up self righteous old lady if she has been a good girl this year. She will of course answer, emphatically "YES!" My answer, will be, "That's too bad!"

2. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

3. For me, I avoid Psychiatrists! If they had answers, they wouldn't be Psychiatrists. They might prescribe medications and some of those chemicals might help, but I doubt it and the side effects can be worse than the cure. However, vitamin B-12 and D-3 can be helpful.

4. TAKE AN ENEMA! Remember the the body is in itself a whole energy unit. What you do with one part of your body, especially your mind/spirit, effects the rest and vice versa. When your colon gets plugged with poisonous waste your brain and spirit become clogged and dysfunctional. An enema not only clears the waste material, it also stimulates and rejuvenates the colon thereby re-energizing the whole mind and body. After a good cleansing, I usually have a feeling of euphoria.

5. Get out and exercise!

6. Breathe! Take a dozen deep breaths, hold each one for a moment and then release. As you release, let that negative feeling and energy leave your body with the negative breath. Take time for yourself.

If all fails, go to step 4 because an enema a day, keeps the doctor away!

Less effective than just throwing the lights on and doing something really rewarding.

While I don't necessarily suffer SAD, winter can get quite depressing - and with all the work around keeping snow cleared from my large driveway - it can become physically exhausting.

I've only recently started to use enemas, but have already imagined how nice it will be to come is after freezing (and working) my ass off blowing snow - to settle into my warm cozy den and enjoy a hot soapy enema and flush the tensions away.

So like the songs says - And since we've no place to go - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Speaking for myself, depression has bothered me more during Christmas season than other times of the year. Coffee enemas are personally enjoyable and unfortunately, short lived. Enjoy your coffee, retain it for a while and think about helping somebody else who has no way of paying back. This chat room also is helpful for sharing and listening.

Enemas can add some emotional comfort and I've noticed a temporary brightening effect too. The best part is helping get some good warm sleep afterwards. I grew up in hot sunny places so watching HD vids in desert settings or Southern Italy helps. I only like playing in snow when it's sunny 😃

Momentary improved mood during the enema but since I truly have SAD the best thing is to go to Hawaii.

Yeh they brighten my day

This maKES TOTAL SENSE to me. 70-90% of serotonin is stored in the large intestine. Drug companies have tried for years to make pills that will increase serotonin levels in the brain to help with depression. Is it surprising that stimulating the colon causes an improved sense of well being in the brain? Get some of that serotonin in the gut to release into the blood stream and travel to the brain. Could enemas replace Prozac? No one will do a controlled clinical study on this, so only anecdotal references can be found; like here on Zity. If it works for you, GO with it.

A nice long, warm full one, soap suds and maybe some glycerin for a good and thorough clean out. The bloating, the irresistible urge to evacuate, the powerful explosion dumping all kinds of negative thoughts and feelings out along with the contents of my colon. Always feel light, clean and ready for other forms of anal fun afterward, which are always planned, even if it's just me. Very cathartic and renewing. ;-)

On a serious note, and I'm really trying to help you here, SAD is caused by insufficient bright light/sunlight exposure.

You need to buy bright SUNLIGHT simulating, full spectrum light bulbs that have a natural proportion of UV in its spectrum. These bulbs need a color rendering index above 90. These are not the cheap crap in Home Depot or anything that comes from China. These bulbs are moderately expensive and you need a lot of them. Some companies sell sunlight simulating light boxes for this purpose. Get a few. One isn't enough. Light your house brightly with 5000-6000degK lighting. Fluorescent and LED bulbs are available.

See something like this:

Some people think the light is bluish. They are WRONG. The light from these bulbs looks like the sunlight shining in your window. Most people just aren't used to what REAL WHITE light is. Dull yellow incandescent or "warm white" bulbs are DEADLY for the soul.

The colors in your house will look much better too. It will look bright and cheery, not dull and yellow like you get with incandescent and cheap fluorescent bulbs. My husband hates incandescent light and we have had this type of lighting since we had our own house. Once he switched me, I'll never go back to crappy cheap light bulbs. The difference is amazing!

I have no financial interest in this.

Of course, enemas are fun and that will make you feel better too.

I think the best way to avoid SAD is to surf throughout the winter months. The winters I've surfed heavily have always been happy ones. Of course you sometimes get an enema without the tube during a wipeout. Now that will wake you up.

How can anyone having an enema be sad? cheers me right up, every time

Try my "Kevlar vest ISIS proof Organically grown and picked by Sicilian midgets" Coffee. for your enemas. It's so good, it will even cure ISIS. 😉
