You may find some relief with a combination of all of these. SAM-e, 5-htp, Magnesium and Bcomplex vitamins.

Hope this helps

Hi everyone. I certainly do hope this isnt an OT subject. If it is please feel free to whip me with a wet noodle! ;-)

Anyway...Im Christy and I just joined hoping to find some answers and relief. I am sure you have info about my questions in the files section, but my internet device causes me many headcahes. Its not a computer, just a device that lets me onto the net, so it doesnt always work properly.

Anyway...lately I have found myself so depressed and anxious. I worry about everything from will my 2 yr old just die in the middle of the night to is my husband cheating on me. This is causing major problems in my home life. Its not a passing thought, it is always present in my mind causing me much worry and stress. I am always exhausted, but from what? Im only 28 years old and perfectly healthy otherwise. Is there an herb or heck even a method to teach myself not to be so worried about things I can not control? I have tried St Johns Wort after hearing lots of good things about it. However, I have found it does nothing for me.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

St John's Wort is effective for mild to moderate depression only.

SAM-e has been shown to be effective for more severe depressive issues.

Dear Christy,

 

There was a discussion recently on St Johns Wort, and it appears that it is being incorrectly marketed as an anti-depressant. That is not what it does, or is meant for, so I'm not surprised it did nothing for you.

 

Do you have a person in your immediate environment who makes you feel less than what/who you are and is a negative influence?
