Well today is the 4th day I've been on Rhodiola.
I guess today was better than yesterday. I didn't feel as much pervading anxiety. However, my outlook on things has still been pretty dull, negative, colorless, and boring.
Maybe Rhodiola is better for anxiety than as an anti-depressant? Who knows, only time will tell.
I'm still sitting here at my computer. I did a few things today, but I have no urge to do anything. I feel restless. Nothing sounds fun or pleasurable. Its a weird feeling.
One good thing....when I woke up today I felt really relaxed. So it seems to be helping my sleep.
So far, today was better than yesterday. Lets hope that each day gets better!
Until Tomorrow

I just wanted to post. A tad bit later after I posted my last post here about my fourth day on Rhodiola, I got hit. I got hit with a strong wave of hopeless and depressing thoughts. It was REALLY bad. I was talking to my mother online, and started talking about how bad I was feeling. I asked her if I died if she would really care. Everything was centered around horrible negative deathful things.
My dad was on the cell phone with my mom at the time, and after she told him what I was saying, called me up immmedietely. But I noticed a bit before he called, I started feeling better again. And now, after talking to both him and my sister, I feel okay again. It was like I got this huge wave of depression that hit me so hard. But my body balanced out or something.
Its hard to say what it was. My dad talked about having prescription alternatives to take if this doesn't pan out. Maybe it was a combination of talking to family members and having a plan for the future that made me feel better. Or it could have been the rhodiola. I think it was all three.
Normally, when I'm depressed and I talk to people, that feeling of depression doesn't lift. Its still there. But this time it lifted. Hmmmmmmm
Will keep you posted.

Hey Match,
Just curious...what are you taking for ADD? Anything? For me, just taking SJW or Rhodiola makes me calm, but tired. I was thinking that maybe that's a normal feeling for most. But throw in the fact that I've been high strung on energy my entire life, I don't like that "calm/bored" feeling. I just want the depression to go away and be able to focus a little better. Maybe throw in some ginseng. I like Siberian Ginseng best and it worked VERY well for me yesterday. I guess I'm looking for that very alert calm state of being. I hope the Rhodiola works for you. Best wishes, Jules ;-)
