Hello folks,
I'm a 36 year-old chap living in Falmouth. I've recently finished an Environmental Science degree at Plymouth University. I've had depression with an anxiety chaser at varying levels of severity since I was 18. I'm living with my parents at the moment because my latest bout is the worst I've ever experienced. Really nasty.
I've tried St. John's Wort for the last two months, to no avail, despite sourcing the really good stuff (I won't name brands but you've probably read the same recommendations as I have). As of last Friday (17th) I've been prescribed 20mg per day Citalopram by the Doc.
Keeping fingers crossed for some sort of recovery. I find it helps to think of the depression and anxiety as a really nasty illness. While it's incredibly debilitating, it's something I can't control and so I can give myself a break from pursuing life as I think I should or would like.
