Wow, exams and divorce, that's a pretty full plate! Your IC is correct, you've been through a trauma and I personally believe most divorces are a trauma. I've said it before but...our society has this view of divorce as if it is just like catching the flu, something that happens to almost everybody and something you just get over. It ain't so! I feel lucky to be a Christian because we believe everyone is broken anyway so what's one more trauma! Re: the AD's, a lot of people on this BB have said they found them extremely helpful but I sense there is a real reluctance on your part as you've brought this up numerous times in the past months but haven't acted on it. What's the reluctance, not that I'm saying you shouldn't have reluctance but am just wondering what's holding you back. AD's have side effects which effect people differently. Some people have few if any and others have a number which can make the AD's a pain too. They also take usually four weeks to have any positive effect but the side effects kick in right away. I tried them and rather than waking up at 4:00 am every morning I was waking up at 2:00 am...ditched them! I was on half a therapeutic dose. I've tried two kinds of St. John's Wort for four months and they did nothing for me so I ditched them too. I had no side effects from SJW at all. Anyway, talk to your doctor, you don't have to take them but it's worth knowing the options anyway and, again, some people are true believers, my Dad and my two best friends are among them. It's also great to see you continuing to exercise through this, that's a natural AD. Good luck with the exams.
