Depression

Posted by tina on July 23, 2003 at 13:58:44:

I posted on this awhile back, about how DH drained my account. Anyways, things have still not changed, and we have now been seperated for about 3 weeks. (our 3rd anniversary is next week) At first he wanted counselling, and I told him to go ahead and book it, now 3 days later he dont want. To keep a long story short, I need help, I was strong at first, but now am starting to crack. I booked myself a counselling appt tonight. Im gonna go with or without him. I've made numerous sucide attempts (with pills, 3 years ago, and Im not doing that now I have a son to live for) but I wanna get the help before I feel like that again.
My question is about depression. Is anyone on medication for depression, and if so what side effects do you suffer, any pro's or con's? Relapses? Is there any herbal remedies I could try first? I have heard of St. John's Wart, but dont know much about it. Im scared about the thought of suffering side effects from medication.
