maybe an antidepressant wouldn't be the worst thing ever. wellbutrin provided a lift and cut into the darkness, but not completely. im not big on ssri, ssnri drugs, but..blah.

on the plus side, supplements may not chase the blues away completely, but they do seem to boost the psych drugs, so...if i end up on something, perhaps it'll work well enough, at a low enough dose, for long enough, for me to just...live, and not to be so down. that'd be nice.
Hope you find something to help your depression. I usually look for the concentrated 1 a day fish oil supplements when I take them. Otherwise you really do end up needing to take a ton of them. It sounds like you need some sort of lift out of the darkness from what you are saying.
