Hello, I was referred to this forum by a friend on an MBTI forum. I’m not really sure what this forum is about yet, but I was talking to her about my career-related depression (including suicidal thoughts). But aren’t pheromones sexy/horny hormones? Bear with me while I try to figure out how this forum is supposed to help me. 
Welcome to the forum.
This is really not a forum for treating medical conditions. We mostly consider the effects pheromone products have on ourselves and others. While it is true that many of us have a lot of fun with these products, few here are in a position to give medical advice on a life-threatening illness.
As to sexy-horny, yes some pheromones can have that effect, but there are a multitude of other signals that appear to be communicated by chemical means. For instance some products tend to get people talking a lot, some help establish rapport, some make others feel comfortable, etc.
Like Gone has said, this is not really the place for help with a serious problem like depression. If you have not already, it would be best to seek help from a professional. Here we do offer alot in the way of learning about human interaction, especially how and what pheromones communicate, along with alot of valuable information on how to help better yourself. If your interested in that aspect, be sure to stick around and check out the place, but in no way can we help with any medical problems.
Hi Pepper - Welcome to Pherotalk.
Mones can do a lot to help you along in various ways and it is true that they can help lift/change your mood or support coping skills in various ways that in conjunction with certain behaviour patterns can be a help in difficult times/situations.
However, they will not change fundamental aspects of personality, brain chemistry, mood, or make you adopt behaviours you are not already substantially inclined to.
And for unquestionably medical issues like depression, you should really be looking for help and support in appropriate places and from appropriately qualifies/experienced people. Beyond that, we are mainly here to learn, have fun and better ourselves as whole personalities.
Pepper, maybe your friend thought that in your particular case you could benefit from some of the mones here as a means to have a change in perspective…I am not saying that they will treat depression…just act as a means for trying something new in life and having some change of mentality that may come with using mones. As the others have already said, the products really cannot help medical problems, as you should seek professional help with such thing, but if you are looking for something fun and new to take your mind of things, that isn’t drugs or alcohol, this may be an option for you.
If you make the decision to try it out, personally, I find that Instant Shine brings a mood lift, and I hear that Instant Sexiness not only has the effects of feeling sexy and making others see you that way, but brings a positive confidence aura with it. (Refer to the women’s forum for more information please)
With this said…I do not suggest you go out and buy tons of IS or something…just maybe use your gift certificate to try them out for nearly no cost! Who knows, maybe just a little change in mentality can help you out!!!

P.S. — Gone with the Wind, do you follow the heart sutra? I recently studied a bit about it in one of my classes, pretty cool stuff!
Since your depression is work related and not “just” a matter of bad brain chemistry, any good thing happening in your life would probably help. Maybe that is why your friend told you about this place. Maybe some of the social mones could help you with the problems at work? Maybe they could help your social life so problems at work didn’t take up all your attention? In my case therapy definitely helped lots, but getting better friends who makes me feel happy every day, did just as much, because it created balance between good and bad in my life.
Try IS and the other socials.
Welcome to pherotalk pepper!
When you hear persons talk about pheromones or the commercials for them largely so make it seem it’s all about sex.
That is why most persons love it here because of the variety we give and the knowledge.
Pheromones is not a cure or medicine and although a few persons have come to this forum looking to assist their depression with these mones, am not sure how successful most of them are but I know just having a place where you can relate , and vent assisted in a big way.
Products like instant shine that make you feel refreshed , calm and because it gives of a vibrant vibe can draw others to you.
Instant sexiness/b that gives off a gentle vibe makes you feel comfortable in your skin.
Your gc was issued! 
Exactly! I ordered from this place instead of a european site with less shippingcharges, because this was the only place I could find without half naked skanks all over saying “INCREASE YOUR SEXLIFE 3X!!!”
