How my snake helps with my depression-- anyone else have depression?

[FollowTheSun]

I’m so sorry to hear you, like so many others, suffer from depression. I also suffer from depression and anxiety. I have always had pets as I feel they really help with my anxiety/depression. It’s such an amazing feeling to have another being to care for and love on.

Unrelated to snakes, but have you looked into CBD oil? I’m not going to go into it (but feel free to PM me if you want to discuss it), but it helps me immensely. I’m also a professional, and my job can be stressful, but it really helps to calm me. Just thought I’d mention it in the event you haven’t heard of it. Amazing stuff.

I'm also sorry to hear you struggle. I wish more people would talk about it and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. So thank you. :-)

I have seen CBD and related products help so many people, but they are not for me. For one I'd probably get fired from my job LOL I am a nurse. I also have never liked to take things that make me feel "altered" in any way, it just makes me feel I'm losing control. I don't even drink or take cold meds unless I really have to (the cold meds, not the drinking LOL). I do take a mild anti-depressant which works pretty well, supplemented with Acetyl L-Carnitine, exercise, making absolutely sure I go to bed on time, and remembering to be thankful.
