“I knew there was a way to get back to where I was.”

Irene had everything she wanted — but she wasn’t happy. At 48, with no previous history of depression, she found herself with very little patience. She was depressed, moody and quick to snap at the people she loved. After being prescribed two different antidepressants, she knew there had to be a better way — and she was right! Finding Women to Women’s Personal Program helped bring her back to where she was. Here’s what she told us:

“It started over a year ago. I was a real bear, ready to bite anyone’s head off no matter how nice they were to me. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t happy. I had everything I ever wanted: a brand new house, a wonderful husband, four great kids. I was moody and snapping all the time.

“When I went to my doctor, he prescribed Zoloft. But it wasn’t enough. I went back and he put me on a second antidepressant. After that I felt okay, but still not totally like myself. I knew there was a way to get back to where I was. And taking the pills seemed like a quick-fix, not a solution.

“I found Women to Women’s website and started reading your articles. The more I read, the more I liked what I saw and decided to join the Personal Program. It wasn’t even a week after I started the Essential Nutrients that I noticed a difference!

“I’ve been on the Personal Program almost a year now and I can honestly say that I wake up in the morning and I am happy. I enjoy my days. My patience has returned and my husband has noticed a big change. He just didn’t deserve what he was getting before!

“The convenience of your Essential Nutrient packets and the wonderful one-on-ones with your Nurse–Educators in the comfort of my own home — there’s no question that I’ll stay with the Personal Program!”
