Rectal prolapse is like depression too, they're both physical malfunctions resulting in you being unable to handle your shit.

Bollocks to the lot of it. It can help to an extent, but is not a cure. Maybe all of those combined with changing the present life situation, fixing the things you feel are depressing you the most. The problem is finding the will and the strength to do that in the first place because of depression.

well if you meditate or do yoga when you feel really down, it can actually be quite a powerful and confidence boosting thing to do =) sometimes those are the best times to do it

meditation, exercise, diet.
Depression is from forgetting yourself
Be active (exercise), Be social(go out meet people/someone you have something in common with), Do what you love (nature,hobbies,life goals)
Live without the need for anything (no need for drugs, no need for much food, no need for buying for happiness, no need for sex)
all that is possible with meditation / removing stress (thoughts)
you just need to be yourself, then you can't possibly be depressed
houseplants,pets,walk in nature,sit in nature,gardening,cycle in nature, run in nature, meditate, hobbies, working minimum hours + living simple lifestyle(consume less) that's how I cured my depression , can never get depressed again I think(removing stress is the important thing)
depression is not an illness I believe, it is something we all get...... and pills are never a cure, only a temporary relief a relief for people who don't want to make an effort themselves often often you gotta make an effort for a while to be healthy, only yourself can maintain your own health, no doc/pill can do that it took me a few years to overcome my depression... but now I feel so much better
psychedelics helped me a lot too, to find my true values in life that make me happy everyday
weed did the opposite... got me further from myself
you gotta do what brings happiness, if something you do makes you unhappy change direction/stop doing it - psychedelics usually made me happy , because I walked in nature on them / heard music I love on them , danced, appreciated everything I have etc.
and they brought long lasting positive changes(happiness everyday), now I do them every 4-6 months or so
I'm sure meditation/simple lifestyle + being active can do the same, but you gotta put in effort to it you can cure your depression without meditation / psychedelics too, you just gotta know what makes you happy
exercising always gave me a good mood for the rest of the day (cycle in nature/run in nature) - coldn't be depressed after it
after many years I found the root cause of my stress ... living in a stressing place+working too much (70-80hrs a week for years)+not sleeping&overeating, loud neighbors, it wasn't compatible with me (always appreciated no noise, always been sensitive to noise) avoid stress at all costs

I can only speak from my own personal experiences. I found these things to be very helpful to me. I suppose every person is different, but I think this is a good place to start.
As long as you adopt the attitude of helplessness, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. You gotta take steps in the right direction, even if they are only baby steps.

appreciate what you got
and nature
then its impossible to be depressed
accept and act instead of worry
worrying never makes sense
accept everything
nature is my antidepressive (houseplants, pets, walk in nature, sit in nature, gardening, run in nature, cycle in nature ... its addictive but it works better than any pill ive tried  adopt it as part of a simple lifestyle, everyday
when i wake up im happy because my pets are happy and notice a new miracle of nature each day w houseplants/nature ..  love is the opposite of depression
