Whoa Ross, what a downer. There is a thread here where people have been posting their success stories. And look at what happened to Russ and Laura. Don't lose hope. You too Jinx <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Sometimes the road to healing is long and convoluted, but it does get there. Before I came here I'd been through 3 years of thinking I had SAD and that light therapy would make me better; thinking a few changes to my diet would make me better; trying antidepressants and getting burned by those; thinking improved diet and supplements would make me better. Now I'm hoping amalgam removal and chelation will help, though I know this may not be the whole picture either. My depression could quite possibly stem from life circumstances, which I am working on changing. It was hell going through all that and feeling awful most of the time, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now and I am amazed at how much I've learned from it all. Each step seems to have been necessary in some way for the next.

It's hard work, and it is just awful when you are stuck in the middle of it. But you will get there. Focus on making the right choices for this moment, one step at a time.

Linda.
