After reading the threads about prescribed meds and over the counter meds for depression/anxiety I was wondering if anyone kinda self managed their depression problems?
I have been down the medication road but for the last ten years have chosen not to take medication. Though recently considered St. John's Wort but unable to take it because of possible reaction with a med I have to take.
I think these last few years have been made easier by accepting that I suffer from depression and not always fighting it but more going with the flow. I try to enjoy the better times and accept the not so good times.
I know there is a danger of getting so low in myself that it might not be possible to get myself back up there again, but that's not happened.
I'm glad I found this site, I often read other peoples posts and think "yeah thats how I feel", but have been unable to express it.
