I agree with the drinking, I'm always a lot worse after a night of booze. Can't drink at all at the moment though because it makes my heart rate go nuts! Not sure what that's about?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211383944108778601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-16807670838733364982013-03-11T23:43:43.617+00:002013-03-11T23:43:43.617+00:00I think some doctors think you're making it up...I think some doctors think you're making it up too! One thing i found that did help ease the dips in my mood was not drinking alcohol. This is hard for a red wine and cider lover such as myself but even now if i have more than a glass my mood is flatter the following day :-(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317850605121050893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-84227029676635179802013-03-11T20:50:44.917+00:002013-03-11T20:50:44.917+00:00Hi Jennifer, thanks for your comment. Depression i...Hi Jennifer, thanks for your comment. Depression is such a horrible thing. I'm glad to hear that everything has worked out better for you. I still think the support from GP's is pretty rubbish, they sent me off to CBT training which I feel was a waste of time, might work for some people thoughAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211383944108778601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-1372301964776387752013-03-11T19:34:08.397+00:002013-03-11T19:34:08.397+00:00I love this post!

I suffered from depression after my son was born and I was in a relationship I was very unhappy in and I remember days when all I wanted to do was stay in bed and cry!! I did take anti depressants for about a year before coming off of them and have been "clean" for about four years now. I wish there had been better support for me through my GP who basically just made me do a questionaire and bunged me a prescription for Anti D's! Happier now, married to a fab man and now have my baby daughter and my son is nearly 6 but some days if I don't go out I get a bit low and anxious. Structure and making sure you have places to go and people to see helps massively! Hope you find a coping mechanism for you, what you are doing sounds like its working x<br />PS Sorry for massively long comment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317850605121050893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-4249482502779512482013-03-05T12:55:17.293+00:002013-03-05T12:55:17.293+00:00That's really interesting maybe I should try t...That's really interesting maybe I should try those them.

I think it's the pressure of knowing you are completely responsible for their lives and keeping them safe. People in the past have suggested St John's Wort as an alternative remedy but it's sooo expensive!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211383944108778601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-10339987409662035592013-03-05T09:45:18.514+00:002013-03-05T09:45:18.514+00:00I swear by vitamin B6 and Evening Primrose oil, if...I swear by vitamin B6 and Evening Primrose oil, if I don't take these there is a huge noticeable difference to my mood and my ability to cope with things just plummet, like you I have never wanted to treat my depression with mess but these supplements really make a massive difference to my life! I also agree having things to do each day keeps me going too xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006338459312719000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368103132121567941.post-12122490325188597122013-03-05T09:16:18.404+00:002013-03-05T09:16:18.404+00:00Urgh horrible depression.

I can understand you not wanting to take anything as some meds can just be so strong but maybe there's some very mild ones out there that help take the edge off? I get more anxious now than I ever used to and I've never done anything about it yet. I know I should really. Hope this bout passes very quickly xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344931806224134121noreply@blogger.com
