I know what that dark place feels like Seanc. I am there now and have been for over 48 hours. It does lift for me though so every day is different. Some days I cannot help myself or function at all, or even get out of bed.

On a positive note I have found that a little exercise (energy permitting) daily starting out slowly and only for a few mins helps a great deal. Some days I cant do it but others I can (walking) is good.

Also, I eat mostly raw now and that means fruit or salads, and wholegrain stuff, PLUS some supplements.

I use Niacin, high strength B Complex, GABA Calm, and Holy Basil, and they work wonders. The doom and gloom just evaporate away.

You are welcome Seanc. Best to have some sort of plan and do something even if it doesn't work, there is another option and then another until you do find something that works for you. Take care.

You need to talk to your GP and explain how you feel. We all have problems that need addressing and sometimes they can get a little overpowering.

Make that appointment
