Jennifer, hang in there. This will pass...but never consider the option. Try your best to get out of bed when the feelings come and seek an alternative. I know it is easier said than done, but you need to try. Noticed how quickly this whole group moved to your virtual rescue? That's because the world is filled with people and alternatives. Whatever path you take to recovery, never consider the ugly side. We are all hoping for you and thousands who share your feelings every now and then. Seek some group therapy where you can share your innermost feelings with others who also experience similar anxieties. Best of luck and stay with us, ok?

Jenny- Try to talk to someone & soon. If you're anti-meds just go to your PCP and talk it out with him/her .or see a therapist/pyschologist and a pyschiatrist. Let the proffessionals decide what medication is good for you! I'm not anti-vitamin. But i've had depression for almost 10 years and medication saved my life & sanity. There is no reason to be ashamed or feel bad about it. Remember not so long ago Prozac was the highest prescribed drug after Viagra! most people just won't talk about it. You can find a support group in your area. Prozac Nation is a great book. It's the author's own story about having depression & treatment! best of luck honey! please get yourself checked out! life really will change then!

Depression Rocks... Shit, my meds are making me happy again... ok, back up. Damn! life SUCKS! lol. But hey, I'm sure she wouldnt be where she is now if it weren't for those years. Hey, I wouldn't be me if I hadn't suffered depression. Congrats to her for admitting it though.

Phenylalanine is also an amino acid that is natural. It has been tested successfully for manic depression and with severe alcolholics. Take it everyday (500 mg.), but in the morning because it can cause insomnia if taken at night. I am self employed in a stressful and cut throat business. It has done wonders for me to relieve stress, avoid depression, and keeping an even keel preventing mood swings. It takes about a week or so to see results, with no side affects.

Keep trying...find a doctor who will work with you to find a medication that is effective and don't discount the value of talk therapy. Try exercise, too. Studies show it helps. No matter how hard it feels, start dragging yourself out for a walk or a bike ride. You will feel better about yourself for doing it...no matter how bad things seem, each day you work out, you will have accomplished something, which is certainly good for your frame of mind!
