Finally found answers after 15 years of battling depression

Since my early adolescence, I have been on some medication or another to treat my persistent bouts of depression. The condition can be debilitating and devastating. I remember my freshman year of college. My depression was so intense that it was crippling. I couldn’t force myself to get out of bed some mornings and I was crying and angry all the time. My grades plummeted and I was placed on academic probation. That was about five years into treatment. During my college years, I came to the conclusion that no matter how many pills I took and no matter what kind they were, I was always going to have to live with some degree of melancholy in my life. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I found The Way Up and I have never looked back. It was through this amazing site that I learned that coping with my feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness and/or masking them with traditional medications was not the answer to living a better, more fulfilled life. The answer was to investigate what my diet was lacking and how my attitude influenced my overall mood and general wellbeing. Dr. Priscilla Slagle saved me. She literally changed my life forever and I couldn’t be happier. She not only showed me The Way Up; she showed me the way out from under the depression and its perplexing, complicated symptoms and introduced me to a new way of thinking and living. I have learned so much from Dr. Slagle’s Web site, including what type of alternative health products work best for me, including alternative health supplements and natural health alternatives. I have learned all about the natural treatment of depression and low moods, the natural treatment of health conditions, drug free treatments for depression and the value of natural herb supplements, nutritional supplements and amino acid supplements. The free alternative medicine newsletters are especially interesting to read. I have learned so much from them, as well as from Dr. Slagle’s free book on natural treatment of depression.

I don’t remember a time in my life when I was happier than I am right now. I have a loving, kind and generous husband, a beautiful 2-year-old boy and a second child on the way. I am a stay at home mom and I am working on publishing my own line of children’s books. If it hadn’t been for Dr. Slagle, I don’t think I would be working on my current project. Before I adopted a new attitude and a new outlook on life, I probably would have simply thought it was too grand an undertaking with two little ones and a household to maintain. Now I welcome the challenge. I am “me” for the first time in my life. And I always knew I could be.
