Are there any supplements you know of that help depression?

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] Best of luck. Everyone should be taking Vitamin D; sunlight is a poor source because it damages your skin and (depending on location) is less plentiful in the winter.

[@4199,BlueVeins] Many people have vitD deficient and are not aware of it!

[@4199,BlueVeins] Yes I forgot vit D. So important.

[@2021,MarineBob] yeah have fun

[@2021,MarineBob] I miss fishing with my dad. Now I sometimes go with my brother and it feels good.

[@335166,zeeva70] a tad short for dinner, we going for crappie.... Walleye plays hell on a 16' crappie rod....tore his mouth so I'll turn it over to the state

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] My friend.. you should be a happy camper. Laugh hard and laugh often. Remember ever how low you feel or go..it did NOT come to stay, it came to pass. And also.. nothing and I do mean NOTHING can keep a good person down.

[@1199225,Puppyprivilege] thanks

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] be patient with supplements because someone can take time to work (even weeks) before feeling better. However, getting outside, moving your body or laugher often has quicker results.

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] b complex is best

[@1127698,MamaGoneMad] I take that at the moment

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] I have taken both.. in my experience Vit B 12 is best alone...

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] pray? VitB 12 in large doses?

[@1199225,Puppyprivilege] I pray everyday

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] then just repeat.. Vit B 12 sublingual and exercise... Run? Make yourself plans/goals and stick to implementing them! It works.. sometimes only time helps.

[@472983,CrazyMusicLover] thanks

[@6912,Pinkstarburst] I worry about side effects with meds ..just trying to find alternatives to meds that I haven't tried before .don't want to leave any stone left unturned

[@1187347,Pripyatpogo] I understand. It’s frustrating finding the right combination and it adds to the feeling of hopelessness. I journal everyday to get the thoughts...some things I share here. It helps me and I always hope someone struggle reads it doesn’t feel alone in their thoughts. Mindfulness helps me too. Walks, mood-neutral music. There is an app called Calm that I recommend. The vitamins people have recommended are helpful too.
Another thing to consider is trying to increase light exposure. Get out in the sun or buy a light therapy lamp (I have two of them)
