St. John's Wort is a great mood leveler. I used to take it (before I was diagnosed with clinical depression; I take Prozac now) and it kept me "even." It takes a couple of weeks to work, though. I think Valerian is also good, as well as chamomile.

You should think about cutting your people a break. Maybe they bitch about it, but you CAN rely on them to do for you. A lot of people don't even have that.

Family: you can't live with 'em and you can't have 'em snuffed! :D

I take Cymbalta but it's not doing enough anxiety wise.. I'm going to try some chamomile.

I don't think they deserve a break, frankly. I've thought it out, trust me. :) haha.

My rheumie gave me amitryptiline (so now I'm on TWO anti-depressants) to help me sleep. Between that and the Prozac, not much fazes me anymore. LOL

Chamomile smells like honey to me. Very soothing.

I haven't told them because I feel like it's impossible to talk to them. Plus I feel like they'd be defensive and make me feel guilty or bad.

i was scoffed at by a lawyer when i told them i was 23 with fibro and lupus. said it wasn't easy to get it for that. i am not working, i haven't been for quite awhile. thank you so much for the offers :)

i can't afford it, but i'm really interested in getting some sort of mental health. i -know- mental health, anxiety, depression and stress are all huge factors in my physical health. i ahven't been able to get any kind of help for that, so how can i expect to be better ever? i've been emailing trying to find someone charitable enough to take me for free, but to no avail.

thanks for your help. :D
