If you are married and not happy this can kill you. Depression is sometimes caused by our own actions over time. You dont know how harmful they are till its to late. if you need someone to talk to you can email me at faromatacoma@gmail.com . Im not a therapist, or a licenced Doctor, everything now a days requires a degree. the above people are just going to put you on a pill. I beleive anyone can feel better and repair mental health and self worth. The traps people fall into is pulling apart things they can do and come up with excuses not to do them. Example I dont want to work out because Im going to get old anyways, or my leg hurts, etc. I want to go out drinking with my friends cause I feel like ill miss something,; then you end up tired = chemical imbalances, moodiness etc. When you eat you make a choice on foods; the easiest way to start eating healthy is by working out. They work hand and hand with sleep being more important then both. The balancing out of these things can make for a better life style. You dont want to go to church cause either it messes with your Saturday drinking schedule and sunday you will be tired, to early in morning, you start analyzing if god is even real and just dont go, also you then do research to find out that there is no original bible and the 3 greek bibles are as close as it gets, the bible is missing books which is true, then you get really depressed. I can explain that over analyzing can dig your holes deep into life. Sometimes when you ask to many questions you are digging your own grave. Depression is a hard thing and I do understand its not as easy as I make it. Never feel like your alone. I go hunting in spare time, playing video games to much can depress you.

Take it as you will, Jesus, holy spirit, stop going out and partying with friends. make a difference in other peoples lives. Think about how you feel and helping others is the first step. Stop feeling down, change your life style, stop eating chips, candy, cake, start eating balanced foods. Stop drinking soda, Drink water, take some women mens supplements for health. Vitamin B. lift weights generates growth hormone and increases sex drive. This all sounds easy but it will help. Also working out makes you so tired you have to sleep. Stop watching TV that makes you depressed, watch disney movies. Instead of going out with your friends drinking, go out to a Church function where people are normal. Drinking till 3 in the morning with friends not normal at all. Get some sun, pray everynight for as long as it takes to feel better. Church is not a building so when you do find a church watch out for the ones that talk behind peoples back, these are ran by satan. Call me crazy I know what im talking about.

I really appreciate hearing your point of view. When things like this go on for so long, I guess you just feel like 'Oh well, this is my life'... but I've never stoped looking for answers. So hearing your words is reassuring and has given me 'another' second wind that I guess I needed. I'm NOT going to give up. I will find a way to deal with this so that it NO LONGER is taking over my life and holding me back. I'm putting as much positive in the Universe as I can and hoping that the law of attraction will also help me out and give me a little boost. THANK YOU.... sometimes you just need to hear the words from someone else's point of view and it gives you the will to not give up and keep searching. And I guess that's what you've done for me. Again, THANK YOU, Paul. Wouldn't it be great if there was a quick fix to this?!? But I think I will only come out of this stronger. Tina Thank you Paul.

What I've always told people is that recovery from anxiety and depression is an individual thing. In that regard, there is no secret, no one size fits all. Like you said, you've tried medication, you've seen therapists, but that didn't do the trick. The truth is you have to keep searching. You have to do the work. There are so many ways to deal with this issue that it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to look for, so keep looking. Do some serious research and try to rely on yourself more than you do on others. This is the key, in my humble opinion. Is it cognitive behavioral therapy? Psychdynamic therapy? Meditation? I don't know because I don't know you. But an answer to your problem does exist, you just have to be willing to take the time to find out what that is.

I've been diagnosed with both disorders. It's been since 1990, pretty much half my life. Although I have found, with the help of my doctor, some medications that work... I still have most of these symptoms(and it took so long to find something that 'kind of works'). I seem to be extremely sensitive to medication as I often get all of the 'bad side effects' when I've tried numerous medications to help me live a somewhat normal life. I don't know what else to do to make this better. I'm at my wits end and wonder if (for some people)it's ever going to get better. Nothing I do or what doctors, psychologists, etc say seem to help. Are there people who just cannot be helped with medications or otherwise? Are there some of us who just have to find a way to cope with this being our life and find a way to deal with it somehow? I just don't know where to go from here, what to do or who to go see to try to help me. I've tried everything and am now at a loss. Is there help for someone like me out there or is this the way the rest of my life is going to be? Anyone have any suggestions or feel the same way? Please respond and share with me, I need all the info and advice that I can get. I have both symptoms of anxiety and depression and have had all of these symptoms and more.

That's your right. If something isn't working there isn't anything wrong with saying so. Just have a talk with your doctor and tell him exactly what is happening.

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 03:39:33 +0000 http://www.anxietyguru.net/?p=349#comment-15659 HELP ME!!!!! PLEASE ASAP... :( I need advice... NoW!! I have had anxiety or panic attacks since I was a teen, they seemed to go away for a while as I started settling down in life except for when I was under alot of stress or something tragic happened. But now I am the mother of two and just had my son 7months ago. My panic attacks came back hard and heavy when he was about 3months. My doctor had me on 100mg zoloft for post-partum depression for about 2 months. But now they were worst than they have ever been, but he just keeps uping the zoloft and telling me that it will treat both. But ever since I started it I have been having 2-4 panic attacks a day, their painful, I ache, I never feel like I am myself, I never go out of the house bc I afraid to have one in public. I cant even go around family bc it makes me anxious and triggers a panic attack. They make me scared to care for my children without someone here, because I have passed out from them more than once. I called my doc the other day and told him I couldnt take it any more, I needed to come in and see him asap, and he told me to lower my zoloft. I personally dont think this man has a clue what he's doing. Depression runs in my family (and I know this is a NO-NO) but I tried my cousins depression med called Lexapro 10mg and have not had any bad feelings whatsoever, I feel great, and play and love my children once again. But still have a panic attack just about everyday but only about a 30min-1hr. one a day. And I have been taking my grandmothers anxiety med valium 5mg 1-2 times daily. And havent had a bad day or panic attck that I couldnt stop within 15mins. I know that this was the wrong way to go about it but my sister has her masters as an R.N. and says if it works maybe I need to talk to him about it. But how do I go about that without looking like a fool or just someone who wants drugs (since I have found that Valium is a very low class controlled substance) I see him again on the 18th of october and dont know what to do. There are other doctors at this place, should I switch doctors? I need help asap. Please, Kaylee HELP ME!!!!! PLEASE ASAP… :( I need advice… NoW!!

I have only just been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and being only 20, i have to admit it was tough. To Faye Standring, I really do recomend going to the doctor. Often the female doctors understand more and are more symphathetic to it. Also, take a friend to sit in with you and help you out. The moral support does wonders. Now to the publisher of this site. I have majority of there symptions and have recently gone to the doctors with my partner and was given something to take that should make me better. I am still quite anxiest and often feel so worthless and dont know what i want to do anymore about anything. I dont want to talk to my partner coz it makes me feel so weak to say things like this, and i dont know my doctor well enough to talk to her about it either. Do you have any advise? Thanks for all the information... this site really helped me and made me see the doctor anout it. Hay all.
