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 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?
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.
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.
