Reply #30: When I was severely depressed, I was also severely unemployed

...and therefore severely broke, so therapy wasn't an option, nor were prescription drugs. Did some research on natural alternatives and tried St John's Wort, which helped a little, and later 5-HTP which helped a lot. I would recommend 5-HTP to anyone over prescription meds as it restores the seratonin levels in the brain without all the ugly side effects that some of the corporate pharmaceuticals have.

And no, I can't blame it on Bush, since it started long before then. In fact I was already pretty much recovered by the time the election was stolen. And it did cause a minor setback, but I told myself I had worked too hard to climb out of that pit of Hell to let the likes of that fucking idiot push me back in.
