DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY (41)
rocketqueen: sorry to get all serious on you all, but for the last 2 years i have suffered from both and i just wish i could get over it...
everyday is a constant battle of keeping my mind on the right track, not to overthink, and not to be fearfull .......
i wake most mornings and have to really keep the anxiety in check, as having a full blown attack is very frightening and scary......
i really would like your opinions and whether or not you have suffered from either or both during your lifetime.....
now i've probably scared all the men away
I suffer from both, My anxiety is part of my post tramatic syndrome. I did take a mild antidepressant for about year then I weaned myself down off of them. I am doing ok now. As for my anxiety I am on maximum dose of Buspar, it is a mild drug but it sure has helped me. My nerves even cause me to break out in giant hives. And the Buspar even stops that.everyday is a constant battle of keeping my mind on the right track, not to overthink, and not to be fearfull .......

Good luck with yours. Have you seen a doctor he can try different medications and start you out low on them. You might find one that helps, It is nice to not be as bad as I was.

You'd be amazed how many people suffer from one form or another of some form of mental illness.
The statistics are about 10 per cent of the population suffer from one form or another in their lifetime.
Diet, exercise and a routine help a lot, but upping the metabolic rate by a walk on the fresh air and socialising will help considerably.
Potatoes lightly boiled in their skins retain the same natural active ingredient as found in the drug Prozac, so increae the amount of sunlight your exposed too, eat a diet including spuds and walk every day or better still join a gym and make new friends and you will improve and be far more functional!
The secret to it is increasing the level's of melatonin in the brain.

Yes, I have struggled with a chronic low-level depression called dysthymia. The good news is, there is hope. I can only tell you what has worked for me. I don't know if you are able to seek professional help. It was a long time before I was able to afford to, and I began to look for solutions even before I knew exactly what my problem was.
Try Robbie's advice. Diet, and excercise play a major role in our general well being. Also, see if you can find a book called "The Presence Process" by Michael Brown. The advice he offers is quite miraculous.

Correct diagnosis helps a lot, as sometimes a simple chemical imbalance can cause a lot of problems, but with the correct treatment and a sympathetic doctor your life can be changed dramatically with some simple changes and supplements.
I'm glad you were diagnosed correctly and you got the help you needed!
If you need any reading materials you can always email me and i really should knock up a reading list for people on this subject to help people with depression/bi polar and other mood disorders.
The book about potatoes and diet is this one, published by Simon & Schuster "Potatoes Not Prozac".
The link is below, and this is available anywhere by any bookseller and find it in your local library.

Hiya sweetie, I had found a mild non drowsy antihistimine helped with my hives as well back before talking to a doctor. And getting the buspar. And normally it does help that. As soon as I feel a itchy spot I take my medicine right away. I take it three times a day, which works the best for me. i am on avanza, and take valium when i feel an attack coming on.......i know all about the hives too its horrible, and really nasty.......i will talk to my doc about the drug you are on, for prevention of these attacks, as they are getting more frequent.....have also been reading eckhart tolle's the power of now, which teaches you to just be and not think too hard, or too much........

I really feel for you having this crap. I did get past my anxiety attacks as I got older, but the constant shaking feeling I couldn't get rid of till the buspar.

"I've been there before and,I know what you're going through.
I couldn't eat,couldn't sleep for weeks at a time.
And,was on anti-depressants for a few months.But,I felt
that the medication was starting to change me or my way
of thinking.So,what I did was,I quit,cold-turkey.And,although
it wasn't the best thing to do at the time but,I felt that
I had to.It's been almost 15 years and,I never want to
experience that again.I know it's a state of mind and,
sometimes I feel that I'll go into the phase again.
But,I feel that I've been through the worst part.Now is
the time for healing...truly healing.
Take care of you,you deserve peace of mind..".

I did in my teens and early 20's. Felt like a guinea pig for new drugs with the docs for those years. The thing that turned my life around was a course I did call Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Heres a link to explain it. Hope you find your way out soon.

The world is a vampire...the one out there you observe, and the one that is in your head.
I have some theories, but they are sharp edged ones. This anxiety-depression thing is catching like wild fire all over earth.
Exercise and diet are key elements for maintaining emotional balance, but more is required...much, much more.

I was diagnosed with having agoraphobia. For two years I would not get myself to leave the house, as soon as I put my hand on the door knob I would feel it coming on. I have had this since I was a child, cannot remember not having it. Going to school was very hard but I have forced myself most of my life to do things.
I finally went to a doctor who said it was panic attacks on put me on medication until I saw a specialist. He then took me off and put me on paxil which I have taken since then. I have some wild stories I could tell you about my attacks and how I behaved when I was out.
