thanks, ya'll. i know i'm depressed. i was on anti depressants and seeing a therapist for almost a decade, and recently (2 months ago) went off the meds after reading about their creation and use and side effects, plus wasn't benefiting from them anyhow. also i can no longer afford therapy or meds anyhow since my insurance lapsed. but i really dont want to go back to meds either way. hopefully my new gym membership and taking fish oil and st. johns wort will help
