Pills and potions and all that jazz

I have been on anti-depressants for as long as i remember and when i thought about it,why was i still depressed for all those years,so obviously they were not helping me.?

However in the last few months i have weened myself off all anti-depressants and i feel better for it,but i do believe its due to giving something else a shot.

I had read so much about NMN ,but for a long time i dismissed even trying it due to its high price.

But after searching extensively i decided to buy the cheapest i could find,Elitehealth NMN,still far from cheap but i gave it a go,and that was 10 weeks ago,and my word,the change in me has been remarkable,not actually my words,but words of friends who had noticed i had regained a zest for life which had been missing for a very long time,and coupled with using a S.A.D light i certainly feel rejuvenated.

I cant say i never get fed up/depressed because i still do occasionally ,but not on the scale it once was, as i now seem capable to shrug things off and get on with my life.

Bearing in mind i have a lot of responsibilities,dealing with things which were overwhelming,so much so,i wanted to give up on life,and not wanting to be here.

NMN supports healthy brain function and energy,a SAD light is for helping us with seasonal affective disorder,during the dark days of winter when sunlight is missing.

Hello Roddy and shnookie I do have the lamp shnookie if you look it up luma lamps it will explain the voltage you need and as long as you have no major eye problems read up this too I do need to use mine but it's hard as pixie is often by my side think it's twenty minutes I can do it when he's out, I feel so much better for swimming yesterday and got some sunlight on my way there and it's almost like someone's waved manic wand I'm sure all your good thought vibres and so many on here have helped lift my mood and I'm looking forward to another drink free night, Roddy you are doing so well and as you know I have been with you on your long grief journey and your shoulder injury and have noticed the shift in your mood, I will look into this natural remedy and know it's there if need, I do also feel it must have done you good after the recent loss of your dog, not to mention the long road often alone you've had to deal with the loss of your partner, I hope my heeling thoughts to you have helped the moon will be full soon and I shall be sending loving heeling thoughts out to you both and so many others πŸ€—πŸ’›πŸŒŸπŸŒ πŸŒ

Shnookie.........there is a difference with S.A.D lamps and mood lighting,the real SAD lamp creates a very strong sunlight effect,and i use mine all the time,but a mood light often comes in different colours,and not nearly as strong as a true SAD lamp.There is a big difference.
