Because i need it... any recommendations for antidepressants?
When I did CBT, for the first visit I presented my goals of what I wanted help with. That turned out to be very helpful as she put a plan together for the following sessions to work on those goals.Starting Psychotherapy in the next weeks. Because i need it...
I always find it helpful to remember that we have hypometabolism, so that is bound to affect mood. Anecdotally it seems quite a few folks in the UK are using Amitriptyline to address sleep, pain, and depression......any recommendations for antidepressants?
I lucked out when I stumbled across zinc/copper. We are each different. I did try some of the supplements suggested in this thread but they seemed to have the opposite affect.l-phenalalanine (amino acid) brought me out of depression.

Glad to see you still have a sense of humour!If it then turns out I’m a psycho and don’t have CFS you’ll all get Freibier (Free Beers )
I understand what you are saying. You might want to work on your opening line, maybe "I would like to work with you on developing coping strategies ........My goal is not to kill myself... think that’s worth trying
Too ill too read :-(This is a nice article by a writer with severe ME about not giving up

Need it because I’m that ill... turning 30 being very severe... not because my illness is psychological
