jd,
Im intrigued though not in complete agreement with your response. If, as you say certain psychological states can overload or deplete our brain of certain chemicals, why is it chaotic to add (in the case of depletion) the missing chemical?
If this overload or depleation occured as a result of childhood abuse, patterns established so early in life can be very difficult to overcome. If you really are a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" kinda guy, can you accept not everyone wears boots? Sometimes outside help is nec. to see the whole picture.> Have you ever thought about the root causes that are bringing on these symptoms? Yeah, it's a chemical imbalance, but often there are certain physiological "states" that initiate and cause a chemical to become depleted or overplenished. Drugs don't do anything but contribute to the chaos in your cerebral cortex by adding more imbalance to the loop and masking the underlying cause(s). First off, cease with the caffeine, then, get more light. Alter your behavior patterns by altering your lifestyle patterns. Don't you know how to analyze? Remember, every adverse behavior pattern is a substitution for something else. See ya.
