Depression worse in evening?

I can tell you what I do every evening to reduce my depression or anxiety. I self medicate and that, along with my many meds, has been a lifesaver.

How do you self medicate? What do you use to self medicate?

Do you mean you self meditate? I did mediation many years ago and maybe that's an idea to try again. I think I'll try that for the next week and see if that helps. Thank you for your suggestion.

Self medicate with what? I have a prescription for Ambien for sleep as needed which I don't take that often as these meds are addicting.

I hope you don't mean self medicate. Self medicating and taking your meds at the same time is a recipe for disaster! That is how people die while on prescription meds and alcohol. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you.

Hi @lesbatts. I am well aware of the dangers you are talking about and have not and never will do that. What I'm talking about is harmless and my doctors are aware of it. BTW, I was not talking about meditation LOL, but I do believe in practicing that on a regular basis for one's mental and physical health. I don't ever drink alcohol. I hate it. I'm 75 years old, and have had low grade depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. Don't be concerned about me. I would never indulge in anything you are referring to.
