I have horrible anxiety and depression. I do take medication but I would love natural advice as well. It seems to be getting worse. I have a lot going on in my personal life, any advice would help. Thanks in advance.

Hello. What are your symptoms? I find that Magnesium helps with relaxation and regulating heart rhytm (you need to take it continiously). Vitamins B help with energy. If you are lightheaded or dizzy, maybe your iron levels are low so you would benefit from taking iron supplement.

Those are some natural supplements that help me, alongside medication.

Other things you could do to relax: read a book, take a warm bath, go out for a coffee date, talk to friends or family, watch a funny movie, do something for yourself, write down what you are grateful for etc.

I get super nervous and very shakey. I take mag and vitamin B6 daily especially if I have to go somewhere. Thank you for your help.

Hello,

So sorry for the way that you are feeling. I would encourage you to continue to take your medication as prescribed.Hippocrates said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Limiting the amount of caffeine that you drink can be helpful. Perhas this list of foods may be helpful for you? webmd.com/depression/guide/....

Also, note that reading the Bible, prayer journaling, and listening to uplifting music are things that have been helpful for me. Perhaps exercise and some of these things would be helpful for you as well?
