how I turned round my depressions

[Bellisa]

When I was born, my mother didn't bond with me, as a result, I didn't eat properly. I grow up with an eating disorder of which I was completely unaware. I'm like an iron board, very skinny. Depressions where normal all my life but never wanted to take antidepressants as I am very obstinate. Only over the counter St John's Wort when I was in my 40's. I'm nearly 60 and 10 years ago I was so low that I was prescribed iron tablets and my apetite suddenly started to appear. Two years ago, despite all the food, I was advice to take supplements, like Vitamin C, Fish Oil and 50+ supplement, also bone support tablets. I have taken yoga and meditation and I am a completely different person now. when I visited my mother a few months ago, she said she couldn't recognise me. I'm in a mission to make myself happier. That is the most important thing for me now.

Many congratulations on turning your health around. I do believe that our bodies go wrong due to lack of vitamins, minerals, amino acids etc. Good luck

thank you very much tofler. I have to help; I suffered enough and I know how it feels when you are down. it's not all rosy in life, when you go through that you have to open your eyes and I didn't want to do it until it was really bad. still learning though, but much happier.
