In reply to my acupuncture for depression, posted by pseudoname on October 2, 2006, at 15:21:57
I havent tried accupuncture, but you might look into anything qi-related. Accupressure points are just points on your channels that circulate your body's energy. Qigong or tai chi (both also developed by the Chinese), or yoga would all help you develop your energy circulation in a more long-term way and help you break through your blocks. And once you learn the practice you dont have to keep paying for classes unless you want to. (There are even churches and other programs around that offer free classes so you might look for those.)

Ive had a decade-long depression that is beginning to reverse after doing tai chi/qigong for just over a year.
Have you tried simple progressive relaxation? I think thats really important, but I wasnt able to really work on it until I got my qi flowing and thats made all the difference.
If you are looking for a jumpstart along the way and you cant find a good accupuncturist, you might do as well with a good Reiki practioner. EFT that Jlx mentions looks great and Id like to try it myself.
i hope you find your way. good luck.
