Flower essence and Depression

[grazy101]

My husband is really depressed from his current work, and not able to find a new job. plus a baby coming the end of December. He drives 1.5 hours each way to work and work from 6:30am to about 6pm at night. He has been falling asleep on his drive both to and from work on a DAILY basis. He sleeps about 6 hours a night, I know it's not ideal, but that shouldn't caused him to doze off every day. I "think" he is just really depressed and hated his job. I gave him a mixture of flower essence 3 days ago -
Gentian, cherry plum, Sweet chestnut, olive and hornbeam.
He seemed happier for a day or two. But today, when he is about 10 minutes from work, he decided to turn around and drove home just because he hated his work. Can it be the flower essence that's working the magic to help him heal? Or, did I do something completely wrong and messed him up??
He just started Bioplasma two days ago too, don't think it will affect him mentally... Anyone?? Please tell me what I can do for him, i don't want him to go on anti-depressant, but we might just have to...

what about olive and wild oat?

Have you tried good 'ol omega 3s? Fish, not flax. Take at least 2 or 3 a day, I'd recommend 3 since its likely he is depressed.

I have been depressed twice in my life. Omega 3 is essential for me for "maintenance". Sometimes its better for me to take in the morning, sometime its better in the evening before I go to bed. You have to find what's best for you.

Also, if energy level is low, B12 shots or chewable pills are great! Emergen-C also has a B vitamin complex that is helpful with energy as well.

Good luck! If none of this seems to work after a week or two, I'd think about western meds like zoloft, etc. There is no shame in that. I had to do it after my first son and it saved me and my marriage!

Hornbeam might do that, clearning out the mental energies...

Is there a reason he isn't sleeping more? That can be helped with FE but it depends what is causing it. And you cannot really go "wrong" on flower essences, they will help fell one feel the positive effects or they will feel nothing. If you gave the wrong remedy nothing bad will happen, no side effects

You need to find out what is going on at the root of his depression...if that is what is happening. Wild oat, like PB suggested, is for those that don't know what they should be doing in their life, or their direction. This would benefit him if that is why he doesn't like his job. Or is he stressed? Or is he depressed about something else? Is he just not sleeping?

thanks everyone. I will give him some olive and wild oats tonight. He actually went and see the doc and got some anti depressants just in case he needed to take them and the doc said he will need to do a blood test to test his thyroid... He doesn't have the time to sleep, that's the problem. Given he doesn't come home until 8ish and needs to get up at around 4ish.
i have been trying to talk to him to find out the root of his "depression" but he always point it back to his work. He simply hated his job and in this market, it's difficult to find another one which he has been trying to get a new job for the past 6 months...

I have seen wild oat work wonders for this, actually. it helps people focus and clarify. once you do that things just start to shift. It's like the idea of making a vision board, or writing a business plan etc...when you can bring things into focus you can figure out how to take steps to create what you want.

Olive should help with exhaustion, and bioplasma will be a great support for him on a cellular level. It will also assist in supporting the thyroid. It won't be enough if there's actual pathological issues, but it will be helpful.

Thanks PB.
BTW, i got the bioplasma from you and not the kit. do you have tracking #?

[Panserbjorne]

I'll email you! It was mailed on the same day....when did the bioplasma arrive?
