What helped you calm down during the off times of anxiety and depression?
I haven't found a happy place at all with depression.. I started taking meds again after 10 yrs... they seem to help with anxious.. panic feelings.. but now I'm depressed and don't want to get out of bed.. cry alot
I have similar feelings unfortunately. If you ever want to talk I'm on this site a lot. I take medication for my anxiety but I try my best not to get a tolerance for them. The only times I'm not very panicky are when I take the medication which is very temporary.
Hi....have you tried aromatherapy or CBT? I've recently started taking fish oil as well....believe me I've notice a difference. Research the benefits of fish oil/ Omega-3 for anxiety.
Ty no I haven't tried fish oil.. I been in and out of councilling for 20 yrs.. I'm so frustrated right now... I just want to be happy n live
Well....I'm new.... I've been dealing with this since March, but I've notice when I eat right and work out it helps. Fish oil has a lot of benefits. Research it. I take a multivitamin as well.
Have you been to cbt? I'm just recently going back to councilling..
Hello there!! I just started CBT myself, but it's my only experience in the wide world of counseling. Did you previously participate in CBT, or did you only try other types before? CBT in particular is supposed to be very good for people in handling anxiety and depression, so definitely give it a try and hope for the best!!
I'm currently in therapy.... I've been doing my "homework" right now I'm doing something called "radical acceptance". Its helping. I've been reading Battlefield of the Mind too. I don't know your religious preference but it's a big help for me.
Is there anything you have read online that helps with the moment... I cry out of the blue... no reason to be sad.. at least with anxiety, I can distract myself or breathe thru it... this heartache of pain is dehibilitating
I turned 50 and I am in the same boat ! So tired of feeling this way
Do you feel guilty about something? That is my issue. I am here if you want to chat to gogogirl.
There is quite a link between what we eat and how our brains and bodies work. I wonder if adding some of the foods listed on this website might help. webmd.com/depression/guide/...
Also, exercise (even just walking), getting enough sleep, pro-actively looking for positives and avoiding negatives as much as possible. Plus, engagement with people and activities.
