I don’t want to take medication, but events in my life have caused me to be extremely stressed. One moment I will be fine, but another moment I will break down emotionally and hurt those I love saying irrational hurtful things. One moment I will be fine, the next I am unable to stop crying. It is starting to effect my eating habits. It has near impossible for me to eat lately. No matter how hungry I get I can’t seem to eat. I’m not nauseas, but I the thought of food disgusts me and makes me want to throw up, no matter how hungry I am. I am not underweight, and I’m sure I will be fine.. But it’s becoming a problem in my life.

Does anyone know if there is a fruit or herb I can take to raise my seratonin levels?

*Note- I am pregnant, and no that is not why I am depressed or stressed, I am dealing with the loss of a family member dramatic changes in income, as well as a few other huge stressors. But due to the pregnancy there are somethings I can’t do- I am also on bed rest, no walking
I would get my OB’s approval before anything, including fruit and herbs.

I can’t excersize. I can’t even walk around. I’m on *STRICT* bed rest due to complications in my pregnancy.
I force myself to eat at least one proper meal a day, even if I don’t want to, my body isn’t my body any more, and I understand that. But the difficulty that eating is getting to is beginning to scare me.

I have tried everything and every way or eating, if anyone has any ideas of how I can feel all-together physically better I would greatly appreciate it.

I am not severely depressed except at random moments, but I am still stressed and constantly a little unhappy, and it’s starting to effect me physically.. I keep my spirits up by watching comedy on TV and spending some time online.. Reading funny books, ect., but even if I laugh and enjoy bits of my day I am still generally unhappy. I just don’t know what to do.. I have too many responsibilities to “Get away from it all”… I just don’t see a way to deal with this properly.
