Hey Friend!
You feeling the love yet? Lots of love and support to you from your friends here at SR!
I bounce in and out of depression. I kinda embrace my cycles of mania. I have tried meds off and on over the last 20 years (mostly off) one common denominator of the different ones I've tried was sexual disfunction. enough said.
I read somewhere here on SR about amino acid therapy as an alternative to anti-depressants. I started that at the first of this year as well as a sublingual b-complex supplement, and a liquid c supplement. I've had some downer days, but they don't seem to last more than 72 hours. I try to push myself through by reading positive affirmations, eating only healthy foods, sticking to my supplements, and staying away from negative energy in other people. Plus, stay away from alcohol.
Sounds like your depression might be easing up a bit, so toss me a snowball! I would love to be tossed a surprise that came with a smile!
Keep on keeping on!
