Battling anxiety

[CindyAPG]

I just found this site today. I thought I was the only one with anxiety and depression. I was really ashamed . I found a doctor and he prescribed medications and I feel so much better. I feel guilty too about having to be on medications but when I think of not having it I am soon very grateful for it and for someone who understands. I am older now almost 60 this has been a lifetime fight. Now today I am grateful to be alive to have found this support site .

Do you mind me asking what he prescribed. I’m barely getting by and I feel like my life is spiraling out of control. I’ve tried meds, doctors, natural alternatives and to no avail

[wildhoney1214 in reply to Jann3]

Hi Jann3,

I know you said you’ve tried everything, but have you tried supplements/vitamins? I’m seeing an integrative dr and she did some comprehensive blood work and I found out I was very low in a lot vitamins/minerals. She suggested magnesium and others, and I have to say, I feel much better. I do see a therapist monthly and I meditate. Hope this helps you!

[Jann3 in reply to wildhoney1214]

What do u take daily?

[wildhoney1214 in reply to Jann3]

I take a magnesium supplement, a good multi vitamin, and an adrenal supplement. Try an Epsom salt bath first. If you feel much calmer and less anxious after having one, odds are you are deficient in magnesium-most of us are. Best to get tested by a doctor just to make sure.

[morenews in reply to wildhoney1214]

What is the dosage of magnezium daily? Thank you

[wildhoney1214 in reply to morenews]

I only take 200 mg at night

[crowningglory19]

I am glad you found someone and something that help you! It is a tough thing to deal with daily. Be blessed!

[crowningglory19 in reply to crowningglory19]

If you decide to look into a more natural way, talk to your Dr. about magnesium. A lot of people who fight anxiety are deficient in it and it may work w what you are taking. Ginseng helps get rid of sticky negative thoughts too. If you are loving what you are doing, stick with that tho. There is no reason to have guilt, if a diabetic needs insulin, they don't feel guilty and neither should you.
