Although the will is there to will it out, with depression that may not work all the time. In my case it has taking me 15 yrs to be able to cope and overcome depression lapses, understand myself better and to know that being depress is not a crime, it isn't neither something we can have will control over it.

Like I said before, you have to self evaluate yourself, explore your body and mind, see what activity works on your stress/depression better than other. Such as swimming, jogging and so on. Study your sleeping patterns, avoid coffe (specially before going to bed), read books on herbal medicines at Barnes and noble, and start trying the 5-HTP in combination of another herb.

As you try all these things, even if you are severy depressed, you'll get some results. If you need at bit of help I can order one or two containers of 5-HTP for you via eBay to deliver to you. On eBay they are not that expensive, they are expensive at the Vitamin Shop.

Feel better.
