Did you try the 'simple meditation' that I mentioned? If not you're probably feeling able to cope well without it. I find that it does help me to slow down when I get too excited for whatever reason. But the physical exercise is my surest method of raising my mood if required ~ takes longer ~ over an hour's running at least. Always feel good afterwards ~ bit like stopping hitting myself on the head with a hammer would be? That's meant as a joke. Can you see yourself well & happy again. I can think of being off drugs, but not for a long time to come, meanwhile I'll soldier on & try keeping in control. Best wishes. Gofio

I heard on a TV programme here that it's possible to get addicted to Valerian & that St. John's wort's contra indicated when taking other AD's etc. Looks like St. J's wort's OK for mild depression (wouldn't it be nice to have instead of the full works?). So beware of 'natural things' everyone must make up their own minds, I'd prefer not to be on medication, but know that it's necessary for me to function at present,I have hope that in the future I'll manage without them, but am not in a hurry ~ I'm hooked on Zopiclone after well over a year on it, when I try to miss a sleeping tablet it's a guaranteed hellish night. But the tablets do get me off to sleep usually & then I wake several times during the night ~ can handle that. Hope you're doing well & that your weather is good? Best of luck

Know just how you feel, this depression/anxiety thing's not able to be understood by any except those that have it or had it. But sometimes, it lets you feel 'normal' for a short while, then floors you again. I hope your meditation 'trial' works for you. As you've had experience with it before you are already halfway there. Here the sunshine's contributiing to everyone's mood, or almost everyone, as you know it often seems that nothing will bring you back to 'normality'. Whatever that is?Be kind to yourself, hope you get some relief soon. Be aware that others are wishing you well.Keep trying! Best wishes.
