    Thank you Angepange for your thoughtful message, I'm currently coming off sertraline to try fluoxetine, still got a couple of weeks left of sertraline at the moment. I've never tried any natural or herbal but I would be very interested to hear what you find as I'd love to not have to take medication, I've not tried meditation but I find going out walking helps a lot. Oldmike, a zero waste shop is where you can buy dried good like pasta and herbs and things without the nasty plastic packaging (I'm becoming very eco friendly at the moment and trying to eliminate plastic from my life as much as possible) I managed to get everything I needed which was good but unfortunately because it's run by volunteer students they're closing for the summer now. There is another similar shop in the town centre that I went in though and they're very friendly and helpful. I've had a very good day today, just a wee bit stressed as Lena has had a massive clear out and all her stuff is currently clogging my living room while i try and sort out what to do with it all!

    That's the plan, it was more the sorting of everything and figuring the best place for each thing that was stressing me, I've got it pretty much sorted now though. Had a bad couple of days, just feeling really low, not wanting to do anything. I saw my doctor yesterday and he has referred me for being tested for autism which is a positive step. Still not feeling the best today but I'm going to try and get some stuff done

    just take today one step at a time, and rest when you need to
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hey everyone, thought I would just check in. I'm on my new meds now, it's been about 2 weeks so they're still getting in my system, I've been up and down but I haven't been as low as I was when I first started this thread. I had an interview on Monday for a job in the nursery at the school where I volunteer, unfortunately I didn't get it but I got really positive feedback which has boosted my confidence but the whole interview process took it out of me and floored me for 2 days! I've applied for my job back in the school kitchen as they have an opening and I'd really like to stay at that school so fingers crossed! Greg and I have found a house that we like (his brother's selling his house and is letting us have it cheaper than he would have sold it) so we hopefully be in our own place by the end of the year. Lena is doing much better and hasn't been pushing me as much so that's definitely a positive. I hope everyone here is doing well *sending out positive thoughts to all if you*
