can you recommend anything that'll give me a boost?

[olivo]

Just wondered if anyone could recommend anything that'd give me a bit of a boost; I'm fed up, exhausted and tearful, and worried I'm going to end up with depression, which i have suffered from before. I have an 8 month old dd and have recently gone back to work full time, which i realise probably accounts for the tiredness, even though i'm sleeping more than ever now dd is sleeping through.
I guess I was wondering if there was anything like St John's Wort that could boost my mood? i cant take that as i'm on the Pill and I'm pretty sure it's contraindicated.
any ideas would be very gratefully received. TIA.

good diet.
ive used st johns wort
rescue remedy
kalms

and anti d's.

Hi olivo, I'm sure it is tiredness. When I feel run down I take Pharmaton vitamins for about 2 weeks (one a day). They really help but don't take them on an empty stomach - have one just after breakfast. They're available at Boots.

thanks for your ideas. my diet has been worse than usual since i went back to work; by the time i get dd to bed, i just cant be bothered to cook, so unless dh does it, i eat whatever.
have tried Kalms in the past, might be worth another go. will also suss out the pharmaton in boots this w/e. may have to wait a couple of weeks though if they are expensive as I'm skint and dont get paid till end of the month!

They are a bit pricey, but they do work. Have a good weekend and I hope you feel better soon. Sleep as much as you can! Keep an eye on your iron levels if you aren't eating properly - you could be anaemic which makes you feel washed-out and terrible

thanks edie, had actually wondered about being anaemic as i'm a veggie too. again, cant go to the doctors till i get paid ( not in uk, have to pay!) to get a blood test.
Kitty - did st john's wort work for you?
