I am very sorry to hear of the way you are being treated. I know first hand what it is like to live life depressed and exhausted, with people wanting an explanation, but not liking (or believing) the one that you give...

Re: St. Johns Wort - First, just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it won't interact adversely with other medications(I think the FDA did a report on this). Second, I know that some studies suggest that it is effective only for mild depression. I didn't have any luck with it, but I know others who did. Be sure to talk with your health care provider.

Good Luck, Lisa

Hi all. I've been really down in the dumps lately and everyone around me is suffering for it, especially my dh. We've been fighting so much and all I do is cry. I don't feel like talking to anyone, but my job requires it so when I come home I just want to go to bed, I could sleep forever if he'd let me. Worst is, yesterday he accused me of blaming everything on PCOS when really I'm just a b**** and should just admit it. I am not myself and need to get out of this funk that I am in. Putting on a show for everyone is so tiring and I just can't keep it up - I even snapped at my grandmother the other day. Everything gets to me lately - the extra weight, no energy, no appetite lately, the acne, fingernails, my hair isn't even nice anymore and that was one thing I always had... the not ovulating, but that doesn't matter since my hubby has said he doesn't even know if we should have kids anymore because I treat him so badly and we can't get along as it is. I need help... I'm in the process of checking out psychs in my area and what my insurance covers but I don't know what to do in the meantime.

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. My real question is has anyone tried St. John's Wort supplements for mood/depression and have they helped? Are they even safe to take with Met? I need to try something fast. Welcome to suggestions for anything else that has worked.

Thanks again, Bubba
