I think I'm deciding that I don't want to cope with depression. I don't want to cope.

St. 's Wort can interfere with blood clotting, so check with your doctor or pharmacist about any other prescription or OTC drugs you're taking, as well as vitamins & herbals. Many of us don't bother reporting supplements, but they can interact with each other & medication.

Hi Terri, I know that part of it is not working and some of it is my hormones as the steroids mess everything around including my periods so sometimes its like I have permanent PMT lol !! Unfortunatly like Rose said I cant take St Wort with some of my meds but I have heard of wonderfull things that it does for those who can take it. I saw my neuro opthamologist yesterday and I have another 4 weeks off work so I will be climbing the walls for a while yet but at least Im not feeling so poorly but not well enough for work. I have quite a stressfull job in purchasing and inventory for Marubeni Komatsu Ltd in the UK (big yellow diggers) I am the co-ordinator for the department and advisor for other departments so it is hard to go from being so active to just pottering around the flat. Ive started doing some reading instead of watching crap on TV at least I can get my mind stimulated and this might help me sleep as well. Gemma feeling

better now that I am and shes not in so much of a panic plus I can do stuff for myself so I dont have to rely on her so much which is better for the both of us.

Hi Terri Im fortunate that Ive worked for my company for a long time so I get paid but I miss out on overtime which is worth around £300 ($480) a month but I do get my loan paid !but it requires a lot of paperwork ! Ive tried to start doing some pilates and now im feeling a lil better im trying to do some jobs around the house that ive been putting off ! Im going away in 2 weeks time for a UFO conference (my girlfriends into that sort of thing) so that should be a nice break ! I shall try and buy a DVD of hathia yoga and give it a go. Thanks Clair xxmosaicgirl1 wrote: Clair, Sorry you can't take the St. s Wort but I am glad you are feeling better. A lot of us feel the same way about not working. I am lucky to have some money coming from disability from my job, but I would

rather be out with people, not stuck in here looking at the four walls. Are you able to exercise? If so, try hatha yoga. It is great stress relief. Well, let me know hoe things go.
