I didn't mean to give it away :) Yes, I was wondering if you were female or not. By the way you write, you seem like a member of the female species, but I'm not asking. Some people like to remain anonymous, so it's none of my business. In fact, an old friend of mine years ago, his son's name is Morgan, which is a unisex name, I think. I just like being here, putting my two cents in, and conversing with others. I've learned quite a bit from p-babble, and I hope I have helped other people with my experiences. I definitely don't know as much as some people here, but I have put my time in researching and experimenting. It's been an obsession for me, and I wish I could just live my life and not have to worry about what new supplements I'm going to try today. I have spent tons of money trying all kinds of supplements over the years, but I noticed I don't come close to the things people have tried here. Mainly, I've been working on mood, and not other symptoms like thyroid problems or probiotics, or heavy metal chelation therapies. However, all those things are interesting and I like to read up on people's experiences. I'm sure there are some good therapies out there that would work for me besides taking vitamins. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, but I've been realizing that mental illness usually requires a more complex solution, in my experience so far. Adding some herbs to the mix I believe is making a slight difference, but I think I'm far from learning the real secrets to my illness. I am excited about new medications in the drug pipeline that affect glutamate receptors in the brain. Those drugs are about 3-5 years away, but I am patient. I never say there is no magic bullet, like people have been telling me for years. That statement lacks hope, and I need all the hope in the world. If I'm ever going to feel real better, it's probably medical science that will bring it to me. It just takes time.
