Anxiety And Depression Can Be Funny
Anxiety disorders and depression are by their very nature serious things. So serious in fact that they both tend to suck the fun and joy out of life for extended durations of time. As a result I wanted to help some of you relax a little by sharing some jokes about anxiety and depression. Yes it's true, all this nuttiness can be funny.

Having More Friends Can Reduce Anxiety And Make You Happier
Sadly for the past ten years I have pushed away many friends and potential friends. Anxiety and depression just made me somewhat antisocial, self-isolated, and more focused on myself and my own worries. This phenomenon is actually fairly typical amongst anxiety sufferers but it's the complete opposite of this behavior that could be making us happier and less anxious people. Closeness to other human beings is extremely essential. From a purely psychological perspective this makes perfect sense. Being close to other individuals ensures a
My Experience In Therapy
Before I dive into this topic I just wanted to point out that I decided to write this post because a reader asked me to (which is great). His basic question was: Is therapy worth it? And what was your experience? Pretty basic on the face of it, but actually the events leading up to this and the subsequent therapy I underwent were rather profound, at least for me.

Let's start by taking a look at the symptoms for both anxiety disorders and
How many blog articles do you want?
photo credit: Mykl Roventine You may or may not have noticed that some weeks I produce 2-3 articles, and most times less than that. So, I just decided to ask the people that actually read my articles what they would like in terms of frequency. Schedules and routines have their merits and this is me trying to establish one. Right now I simply write when I have something to say or when I find something of interest to send to you.

Beware Of Depression
Most people that have an anxiety disorder spend lots of time preoccupied with anxiety (fear) symptoms like palpitations, chest pain, malaise, or any number of horrible feelings.
