> I'm not sure it's the same thing, but I just told my psychopharmacologist that I am not looking for euthymia at this point -- I'm just looking for enough oomph to get me out of bed every day without planning to off myself.

********Hi Racer,

I know you are dealing with way more than I am...my issues are anxiety, probably depression, definitely Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I just want to let you know that I dread going through the 'how to drag myself out of bed every day without wanting to off myself' thing this winter like I experienced last winter.

Last year I finally found that 5HTP, St. John's Wort & a strong SAD light lamp helped, as well as Dr. Reckeweg's homeopathic R184 drops.
I kept taking 1 5HTP & 1 SJW all summer (was afraid to stop) & have now upped the SJW to 2 & will up it more. Day before yesterday I moved the SAD lamp beside my bed & am totally blown away by the effect looking into it has on my mood!! I think that this year I'm tackling the SAD before it gets a hold. Last year it kicked in, in late Aug. (wasn't taking any of the pills for it that I have been this summer). This year, it's only started to kick in about mid-Sept.

I'm telling you this just in case you might suffer from SAD also & perhaps not even realize it. Last year I interpretted it as Depression.

I hope this post isn't offensive for you.

luv, Kath
