I ran out of the little herbal pills and spare cash over the holidays, so was more or less forced to, and am now feeling pretty happy. I took St Johns Wort for most of the last three years of university, and all of the first year of working. I found it helped me subdue and slow those anxious, depressive thoughts until I could figure out ways to manage them, but I probably should have talked to a doctor as well. You’ve got to look after yourselves, kids.
