What is the best option for me? 22 and depressed…?
I am almost 22 years old, female, and have been through a LOT in the last year or so… a very big break up, a huge move across the country, a major death..on top of trying to continue my schooling and working part-time. I think I have been depressed for a long time but I’m just now getting to a point of realizing it and I think that I starting to come out of it but I’m not sure, I have thought that in past months and then I felt equally depressed again. Anyway, I don’t want to go on anti-depressants, instead I am trying to do natural things to help me get out of it (aka..started working out, trying to cut back the caffeine/frequency of drinking, trying to cut back on the sugar, etc.)….and I think it is helping but I have been under a lot of stress and wanted to know, what is the best option for someone my age in terms of other natural remedies…I try to add a B vitamin to my multivitamin that I take everyday. Should I try st johns wort or magnesium?? Everything in my life is pretty good, I just think that it’s been so hard on me being so far away from my family when I’ve been down and out *a few bad boughts of homesickness*…
any suggestions would be great! or if anyone has had any similar experiences??
Also, 3 months ago I went off my birth control that I had been on a long time so I know my body has been going through a lot of changes…

It sounds like you are doing the right thing. The natural way just takes longer to really start working and you may still feel blue when it has its full effectiveness, depending on your depression.
My mom used St. John’s Wort for years and swore by it!
Sounds like you have a great attitude which is really the most important thing, more so than any supplement or medication.
