mycroft,

Sorry to hear about your sitch and more importantly YOUR mood.

I know exactly how you feel because I've been there and I'm
sure as you read more and more on this forum you'll see
that what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

I'm a big believer in natural nutrition especially related
to amino acids. Amino acids are natural substances found
in food as well as manufactured by our bodies. There are
no side effects or any drug like reactions.

With that said. When I am battling a bout of depression or
anxiety I use a supplement regime that has not failed me.
Obviously everyone is different and I cannot give you medical
advice I am just telling you what works for me and many
others. I take L-Glutamine and Vitamin C (as a co-factor)
together three times a day on an empty stomach at least
45 minutes from eating anything.

Do a bit of research online on amino acids if you are interested
and you'll find a wealth of information. Keep in mind that it's
important to have the co factors along for the ride so to speak
as they help your body utilize and vice versa.

One important point about amino acids is that they are
absorbed quickly into the body without having to be digested.
This is partly why they are so effective and so fast acting.
Always look for "free form" amino acids. Quality is everything.

I play the guitar too and i also know what you mean about not
feeling like playing at all... like you lost your mojo. Again,
this is perfectly natural considering your sitch. When I use
amino's usually the same day I'll break out of the funk. Sometimes
it might take a few days depending on how severe the depression
is. I can say though it has never failed me yet.

Just some food for thought.

- Scott
