THERE'S ALWAYS LIGHT AFTER A DARK TUNNEL

[fretless]

Yesterday i was feeling anxious and seemed like im loosing my mind, but today i am still and happy and normal and cool , Im so grateful to God , let me tell u my family here how i achieved that , yesterday i read alot on anxiety and how it works and i did a lot of breathing excercise yesterday , a lot of it , i went to visit a friend i joined her in the kitchen we gisted and another friend with us , and i had a good dinner , then i had my bath and prayed to God , i put everything in his presence, when i woke up this morning i did excercise , went on my knees again and prayed about everything on my mind and today im deliberately taking charge of my thought and realizing that any thing negative that is bringing me close to anxiety is just a mere thought and ive learnt to throw a lot of positive things in my mind to push the negatives away , i'm glad about this and im having a relaxed day , for everyone struggling i want you tokow there is a light after every dark tunnel , please lets not give up on the fight against it and we would realize that PEACE is just a step away , appreciate every progress you make and u will get there , Love you all

Hi. This is something I'm really struggling with at the moment. I am currently on 10mg of citalopram. Day 22 today. This was prescribed for anxiety. However since being on them they have made extremely depressed so when I wake in the mornings i feel really anxious and have the overwhelming feeling of misery which then leads me to not being able to focus on concentrate on anything else other than feeling like this. I have tried self help books and mindfulness meditation and deep relaxation. But this is good but I can't concentrate and feel like I'm losing the plot! Any advice? would be great xx

Rox92 To start with getting the right meds for each individuals for anxiety/depression is always difficult to find , and there's nothing like having it the natural remedy because the effects last longer , first of let me tell you a story there was a king one time that demanded a gold smith to impress something on a ring that when he read it when his sad it will make him happy and when he reads those same words when his sad it will make him happy do you know what this gold smith wrote on the ring ? he impressed "This too shall pass away " when the king is sad and he looks at it those words bring life to him , i want you to know that "THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY " You have to work on a daily routine, first of be happy u are experiencing this even as much as u hate it because u know what it feels like to be anxious /depressed and u are ready to gradually take ur self back to the road of PEACE, so while the anxiety last i know its weird to say enjoy it while it last because one day it will be gone . @rox92 let me advice you on a routine , when u wake up in the morning , practice gratitude , focus on the positive things and even as much as the negative is trying to set in let the positive exceed negative , then excercise , it helps, do some excercise and through out the day tell ur self nothing will get hold of my happiness even tho negative thought comes admit they are just thought and u dont have tp be them because we all have negative thought, get a journal and write exactly what u thinking and then u realize its ur mind magnifying illusion, hang out with friends ,and avoid alcohol as much as u can, google some scriptures on faith and peace, pray as well tell God exactly how u are feeling and how u want to feel and believe he has answered and eventually practice breathing excercise , breath in slowly from the nose and out from the mouth , and say to your self "THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY" , you would be fine Rox , we will all be fine , u would feel better gradually everyday by day , its alright ,it is well "Big Hug"
