Looks like I can't edit the original post anymore, but I'm beginning to think that the St John's Wort that I had been taking for over a month was actually helping a little bit even though I didn't think it was doing anything at all. I ran out a couple day ago and didn't take any yesterday and only one capsule the day before. I was *extremely* depressed last night...the most I had been in a really long time. And not for any real reason.

I barely have any money left, but I bought some more St John's Wort today and took it and have been feeling better today. Maybe it's placebo, or maybe it actually does work for some people and it's just not strong enough to really work for me, but still just provides a little relief. I'm not sure, but I'm beginning to think that it may be helping just enough to at least be stepping stone to getting help and maybe getting on some real antidepressants. I'm not sure if I would've even been able to reach out on this website 2 months ago, so maybe the little green capsules have been helping me to at least get a start in the right direction. I don't know.
