Michael, if I see anything, I will message you

Michael,

     I'm not sure about specific natural medication for depression.  I only use the melatonin because I was having trouble sleeping.   Check with a natural food store near you.  You can Google "natural supplements for depression".  Just check to make sure they don't interfere with any subscribed medications.  Of course, ourdoctors don't suggest it, because natural supplements are often not approved by the FDA.  ask your counselor what he/she thinks about this too.

Michael, I had not really thought of that. I guess if you were happy and living life to the fullest, you wouldn't be on the computer talking about your pain.

I am hoping that this site gets mostly the worst cases and that there are some who are doing better and no longer come here.

I hate the idea that I need to take something, but what else can I do? I have to be able to go to work. Do stuff. On my days off, I just lay there on the couch and let the world pass me by. I feel like I don't want a life without Rocky, and then sometimes I do. I don't want to be sad all the time. But for now I am. I hope that some day I can feel like doing stuff, going places, having al life. I get discouraged when I see so many who are just where I'm at, except it's been years since their spouse died. That scares me. I wonder if I will be like that too, going the rest of my days in this sadness.

It will be 9 months, this month on the 20th, that Rocky died in my arms. He wanted for me to be happy. Even meet someone, and be happy with them. He loved me like no one else ever had before. He was such a wonderful, giving, kind man. How will I ever find that again?

Ive been on wellbutrin for years, sincewife first got sick. In recent years i was able to cut it bAck cause i was fine. Now, boom! The days make me crazy as i no longer have job of caring for her.
Comment by kathleen akin on December 9, 2016 at 12:37pm

I try to stay away from antidepressants, I'm Bipolar and they do weird stuff to me, but I agreed with my therapist and am on Wellbutrin.  At first it didn't seem like it worked, so she upped the dose. It's working now. I'm pretty much blank.  I have to be like this because of things that have gone on at work, I need to maintain this blankness or I'm going to get fired. No crying at work.

Plus I drink wine at night to fall asleep. All the natural stuff has never worked for me. I know Rocky wouldn't like the wine part but oh well.

Whatnatural supplementsfor depression, other than melatonin for sleep?
Comment by Elynn m on December 9, 2016 at 11:11am

I take melatonin at night to relax me, about an hour  before I go to sleep.   I only take about 4mg , but it's probably more (or less)for others.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
