Hi Sarah Jayne
You are not alone. In fact, the very symptoms that you are
describing is what prompted me to seek out something. So, I am trying sjw, too. I just started it Friday night. I work
in one of the "helping professions" and sometimes find it difficult and often annoying helping other people when I feel like I am neglecting myself. I am finding that other people get on my nerves, I can't seem to get motivated to clean my house, or go out and have fun, and I dwell on some really negative things in my life I am having to deal with. It is really worse around 12 days before my period. I really hope you find some relief with sjw!! Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.
Sincerely,
Joy

Hi again Sarah-Jayne:
Don't worry - it is definately temporary, everyone has some days which are better than others, even when on SJW. You've only been taking it for a couple of weeks so remember that it normally takes 4 or 5 weeks for the full effect to really 'kick-in'. Also, it is fairly common in the initial stages of taking SJW for your symptoms to worsen slightly (before they get better) - that is why you describe suffering from the classic depression symptoms you describe.
Give it another week or two, and you will start to feel much more back to your old-self!....it's been just over 6 weeks since I started taking SJW again and I'm feeling really positive about things now (so much so that I'm going to live abroad in four weeks) - the thing is that it took much longer to work the second time round, so you should start feeling much better soon!
Good luck, hope all goes well
David

Hi Sarah,
as David will testify, I am the most uppy downy person in the world! I am in week 3 and I am now having more good days than bad, which ultimately makes the bad days look worse I think! When you are having a tough day it all looks so crap - go back a few posts and that was me on Sunday!
I went to a cool web site about stress and depression - www.teachhealth.com and it goes through a really good explaination of why this has happened, and about the chemicals in your brain. It talks about a lack of happy messengers to your brain so my husband always says "remember happy thoughts mean happy messengers" if i'm down, that makes me smile (sad I know) which in turn makes things a teeny bit better and so it goes on. sorry to ramble on, just wanted to let you know you arent alone...
remember happy messengers!
