Depression and fish oil

Just thought I'd share, I've been cycling through anxiety and depression for 6 weeks now and things got really dark last night, not knowing if I could carry on.

 

Anyway I'm super sensitive to everything but as a last resort I tried a very small dose 120mg of fish oil and the depression lifted  within half an hour. I've tried it in the past and it revved me up, but now It gave me a slight headache, but I'll take that over the dark thoughts.

 

So even if you are sensitive to everything there might be a possibility a really low dose might help you too.

 

Keep going

 

I may very well give this a try if things get dark. I can see how it could be true. Great to get all your fatty acids.

Having a mare, thanks for sharing what worked for you. Need as many tools in the toolkit to conquer this beast. It will not win!

That’s interesting.  Glad it worked.  In my experience with fish oil going back some 15 years, I have noticed that it can help pick me up out of a funk.  Haven’t found it particularly useful on a daily basis as far as helping lift the depression, but it’s been good when things get bad.

Lifting weight at the gym also helps
