Hi, Denise.
> What have you found to help you? sorry if it's already in your other posts.
Thanks for asking. I've taken the opioid buprenorphine (Subutex) since December. It's usually given to addicts in recovery, but I take it just for depression. It's the only thing that has worked on my depression for more than a few days. Very hard for a non-addict to get it prescribed, unfortunately.

And it doesn't help with all my psych problems, so I also try to use mindfulness techniques and some parts of "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy", which are a truly novel approach to doing better with mental illness.
