I also take the Omega 3 and plenty of vitamins. I am not sure if it is helping but it isn't doing me any harm put it that way. It also helps that I am having weekly psychotherapy and have been doing for 3 and a half years.

I have also tried alternative therapies. I maintain that a lot is linked to lack of consistent nurturing in early childhood when our brains are forming but now much is genetic and environmental I am still unsure.

Before I was diagnosed I was on antidepressants for 3 to 4 years. I was so confused how they actually did nothing for me. If anything they made me more edgy and want to drink a lot more. Not sure whether this was hypomania or the stressful time I was having back then.

I tried Seroquel and that just made me more fatigued than I was anyway with my sleep pattern all over the place. I am still a little confused that all the health sites say meds are the main part of the treatment but so many people on here say otherwise.
