Firstly excuse the possible rambling nature of this post but im p*ss*d tonight but felt like posting.
As you may know, i've been taking vit D for a while now (since just before xmas i think from memory), and felt that whilst its no miracle cure, it was helping lift my depression at least a bit and (i think) giving me just a bit more motivation too.
When I say no miracle cure (must digress here and tellu i'm listening to isley brothers - summer breeze.........what a song, a true classic and guarenteed to lift any mood), i'd say whilst my moods still fluctuate quite a bit, the downs seem less nasty, and are not so long in duration although oddly enough my highs dont seem quite so fleeting and high either thinking about it.
*imagination - just an illusion* now for those interested in the playlist!!!!
Anyway, I decided to add to the vit D (afterall its good to build on something that works right?)...i've tried the omega oils but wasnt convinced I got on well with them so decided to back off a bit and try codliver oil caps (which are actually enriched with omega 3) and contain vit E, Vit A and some Vit D too (all natural from the fish oil I believe).

I think i'm digressing so will (reluctantly) drag myself back on topic again! The reason i've demolished a bottle of wine tonight is to get away from the horrible terror of anxiety i've had this past few days!
*enigma - sadness*
I'm more than a little bemused at this response but believe its been mentioned before on this board. Anyone got an actual explanation as to why some people appear to have this bizarre opposite reaction to the intake of fish oil. I had a kinda feeling that I felt worse after a heavy oily fish meal but wasnt sure, but a trial of both (*earth wind and fire - reasons *(live)) omega oils and now cod liver oil seem to suggest my original gut instinct was right.
My natural sleep pattern seems to settle at very early hours of the morning to sleep and then waking at middayish so that would perhaps explaing why the bit D helps.........what i'd really like to know though is what I can add to it to help alleviate the wretched anxiety which I find the most debilitating of all the symptoms I suffer.
I think I best stop now whilst i'm somehow coherent anyway! Thanks for listening (to the playlist too) and any suggestions as always would be most gratefully received.
By the way, what is it about the combination of alcohol and romantic/sad music which produces relaxation/tears (along with tingles int he fingers) and a serious reduction in symptoms the next day????? Nice for an occasional "blowout" but of course its no real answer on a regular basis.

Oh yeah.....one final question, is "teen spirit by nirvana" really americas best export in the past decade??? LOL
Oh heres one before I go, this one will probably ring bells with many of us.........
