What are the alternatives ? I do no want to be on drugs to alter my mood.

Hello , Hello Rasberries,

Thank you I could do with a listening ear, my friends are not sure whats going on with me.

I have never reached out for help like this before - never really had to was always strong or appeared laid back and unflappable, but its amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye.
