OK, so I go back next week after a space of 4 wks.

The last time I was in, T said I had depression and she had already told me she thought I should be on medication for it. I said no, you must be thinking of someone else, you never told me that (I am very sure she did not tell me) but neither did she say, well OK you're not depressed.

I don't want to take prescribed antidepressants; am trying to get new life ins and don't want to have to say yes I have been prescribed; besides I see her outside of insurance and don't want either the diagnosis or prescription on my record (ok call me Stigma Jean but there you are)

I went looking around for alternatives and found st john's wort - started taking it yesterday PM and I don't feel any different (not knowing what to expect anyway; will I start hanging around under streetlamps singing or something?)

wondering if anyone here takes it and if so what are possible side effects. so far no rash, but my singing voice hasn't improved either
