Hi... I guess I've been depressed for several years now. It's not a constant depression, but more of a mood swing thing.
Suddenly I start feeling really sad and worthless without any reason really.
I finally decided to take St. John's Wort on Friday. A close friend of mine told me that I'm getting hard to be around with the depression, and I really want to change.
Up until today I've felt fine. Very happy actually. However I attribute that to the placebo effect. I also think I was on a happy swing since Friday.
Today I had a down swing.
It was actually more intense than usual. I felt a lot more sad. Plus I was disappointed that even with my conscious efforts to be happy, I still couldn't do it.
But it was weird, I was talking to that same friend about feeling worthless and disappointed, and suddenly something happened. It felt like something clicked on.
I wasn't sad anymore.
Usually I have to be talked out of a mood swing, or I have to talk myself out of one. Sometimes they go away on their own, but it's a gradual process.
Today it just felt like it clicked on, and I was happy again.
Sorry, I just felt like sharing this. I know it was long, but I felt like posting it here.
Okay, that's it!
Thanks for reading!

I have recently taking SJW I have noticed a similar effect. In the past I used to fear talking to people. Though now It seems as though there is a Click that unables me to move past this fear. This has significantly shown me less anxiety. Though I did notice that on this first few days of taking it I felt almost euphoric! Though that has subsided and is replaced with a general calmness and ability to push on.
