Anyone ever tried acupuncture for depression and anxiety? A lady who goes to my church realised I was ill and offered me free treatment in her acupuncture clinic. I had one session on Thursday evening and felt so exhausted the rest of the evening. My legs ached and I couldn't sleep. HOWEVER... I got up the next morning and felt alive for the first time in ages! The fog had lifted! I don't know how long this will last. But I am certainly going back next week.
