this is for all of you out there who are depressed,with a constantly racing mind.and are hard on yourselves?

Question

for about a month i have been on a product called st johns wort. i take 2 in the morning. sometimes one in the evening around 4 or 5 if i think this may be more of a highly charged day. for some of us we can self talk our way into feeling better. for people like me i have to fight to self talk myself. it shouldnt be that hard. sometimes the stress wins over all the self talk and we crash. now i by no mean am i trying to shove a pill down all your throats. this is coming from someone who has lived enough to know that some things are out of our control sometimes. like our minds.
i came to a point in my life where i couldnt afford the medication that helped me. so for a while me and my mind have been at war. then recently i heard of an herbal extract called st. johns wort. i was like right, how can a vitamin make me feel better.well it did. right away. it quieted my mind down totally. i can go with the flow now when before i would have been uncomfortable. try it. ill bet youll like it

and just so you know it helps me sleep netter and i have more anergy all through the day because im not weighted down by depression and stress. you have to be consistent and take it every day otherwise later in the day youll start to feel those old feelings again. i care. ive been there. im there now. i understand how hard it is. i want to beable to see less depressed peope and more happy people. you can get it at a drug store. if you would like you can email me and let me know how it works. [e-mail] good luck.

Answer 1

St Johns Wort makes me homocidal and I start to plan in great detail, the gruesome murders of people I haven't met yet.
Obviously, its not for everyone!
If you can't afford your meds, get on a Patient Assistance Program (PAP)
Every state in the U.S. has a department of mental illness who will hook you up with therapy, doctors, and medications specific to your diagnoses
Please don't give out any more medical advice

Answer 2

The key to getting better is to stop worrying about things that are outwith your control like what other people think of you etc etc.

This may sound silly but if try and adopt a *Feck you* attitude you will tend to worry about minor things so much less.

Good luck

Answer 3

Yes, I have heard of this, and I have tried it. I felt like it helped me too, however, for those of you who are thinking of trying it, it is not recommended during pregnancy. Bad news there.

Answer 4

my meds work great and i can afford them cuz i have good insurance...but that part about the sleeping intrigues me because I have trouble sleeping at night...every night
