I am really glad I found this forum. I think SJW is what I need! I am a mother to 4 kids that are ages 7 and under and my husband works out of town during the week and is only home on the weekend. I feel like all I do is hollar and scream all the time and just feel pissed off. I am hopeing this helps. I weigh 135 lbs and am 5'5. Can I still take the recommened dosage of 3X300mg .3%? I am eager to get feel better and not be so freaking uptight all the time! I don't want to go on prescription medication..I am hopeing to find something more 'natural'
TIA!

Hi Ladies: I too am a stay at home Mom of 4 kids. (10,7,7, and 6). For the past 3 years I've been having a tremendously hard time coping with everything on my plate. Up until I had my last child I worked full time in management, had a high stress career and pumped breastmilk in the bathroom at work for my twins. However, I can honestly say being a stay at home Mom is the HARDEST job I've ever had. I wouldn't change it for the world or give up my kids but there are days where I feel like I absolutely cannot take one more issue dropped in my lap. My husband is helpful to a point but he also works long hours in a mangement position and isn't home all that much. When he is he expects me to deal with most of the problems. We love each other and our kids but as you know with a big family stuff happens to make your hair stand on end! That's where the SJW comes in--I've been on it 8 weeks today(also the WalMart brand) and it has helped me immeasureably. I am not zoned out or in a fog just better able to cope with things and be my normal self instead of going nuts over the slightest thing. It allows me to think and feel and function normally. I started feeling the effects within a week (not sure if it was the placebo effect or not) and now at 8 weeks I feel more in control of myself and my life. Remember to take care of yourself first and then you can be a better mother and wife for your family. Believe me I know it is not easy--just take baby steps and you'll get there. Good luck to all of you and keep us posted as to your progress!!

I am in the same boat as you are, I have 3 kids under the age of 6 and I am a stay at home mom, I am screaming at them all the time, and yesterday I just broke down and started crying, I bought some SJW last night and took my first dose today, I really want it to work for me. How long does it take to feel better after taking it? Thanks so much,I am really glad I found this site.

I feel the same way, the only person I have told that I thought their was something wrong with me is my husband, he is so supportive. I really hope that the st johns wort will help me because I don't want to go to the doctor with this, I am not comfortable to talk to my doctor about this! You know what I mean, I don't go to the doctor that often so I don't know my doctor that well. You can email me anytime you would like, my email addy is [email protected]

Hi there: Yes, I have two kids under five, plus a part-time job that I mostly do away from home when husband is home, and from home. Weekends are not weekends, every day feels just the same, a million things to juggle at once. Anyway, I started off by taking 5-HTP, then combining it with low dose SJW. Finally decided to just take full dose of SJW about a month ago, together with fish oil pills, vitamin B complex (2 x 50 mg), and vitamin C (at least 1000mg). It has made a huge difference. I hope it will work well like this for a long time. I still yell at my kids, but not as much and everything seems more manageable. Good luck to both of you!

Thanks for telling your story, its soooo nice to konw that your not the only one, that its going to be okay. And yes being a stay at home mom to any number of kids is the hardest job in the world, but its awesome to get to stay home with them, I haven't worked since I was pregnant with my first and she is 6 years old. I love being a mommy, its just so hard somedays! Thanks so much and I will be keeping you updated with me!

Just a few words of encouragment to all you stay at home mums,
the values you teach, the love you give and the joys you recieve far outweigh any personal struggles you are going through. when your children have grown into well adjusted productive beautiful young adults who fill you with pride and awe and joy. you'll know all the sacrifices you have made have been worth it.
without a doubt taking full responsibility for bringing up a child/children is frought with stresses and worries and heartache but also with untold wonder and happiness as you watch them grow and develop and you know "this is what i've created". My children are grown up now, and yes i have had many testing times, but that was what i chose to do in life, i wanted to be a "mum", and it is totally worth it. so take heart and teach them well, it's amazing how quickly the years pass and they grow up, the years of childhood dont last very long.
good luck to you all and i promise you its worth it..
much love Janivere.
