I've been taking St. John's Wort for years, it really does take the edge off depression. I stopped 2 days ago as I think it's these tablets that are giving me terrible indigestion, where I'm taking loads of Rennies every day.

Got up at 5.30am as having depressing thoughts. I'm going through a nightmare house sale/purchase. My purchase was going sooo slow that my buyers pulled out 2 weeks before our moving date of 25 March, I did say I would move out. So back on the market again.

Not happy with my agent as they have me on at a sliding scale, all my viewers are offering at the lower end, so wonder if agent is telling them I need to move quick to keep my purchase that is near completion now. I also need to sell quick as my mortgage term ends on the 1st of May!!

Lost my beloved DD&GC 8yrs ago , due to estrangement. It is a living bereavement. I've managed to push the thoughts away, but without help from St. John's Wort, they are flooding back, also how my beloved doggie died in terrible pain sad.

So question is; does anyone know of a natural anti-depressant please?

The most positive thing you are doing is going to live by the sea. I suffer from depression but the coast really lifts my spirits so high. I would live right by the beach if it were possible - thankfully I'm not far. The light and the sounds will lift you up and hopefully you will feel more able to cope with other problems. It is never too late to be reconciled with your family. Do not give up hope.

5HTP sold by Holland and Barrett also sold as Serotone by Higher Nature.
Comes from a S African Bush, is non addictive and well regarded. Gently lifts the mood by producing serotonin, you mustn't take it with SSRI anti depressants. Google it or talk to Holland and Barret staff who will be helpful.

OP, check with your doctor before taking anything,
even so-called natural remedies, can clash with medication.

As the OP was asking for help in March I doubt she will even read the recent contributions.
This is what is referred to as a zombie thread. Don’t waste your time responding.
