Anxiety and depression

[D-man]

I have severe anxiety and depression and racing thoughts. Can't control my mind. Does anyone else suffer a GAD? Don't know how to make it. Days getting worse. Medications not working. Help

The same thing happened to me, I did not know that doing the medications did not work, I was very empty that I felt that nobody understood me, then they took me to a church and little by little they prayed to me and because until I took my depression, it was thanks to God, and apart from that I began not to lock myself up because there were bad thoughts coming from me, it kept me more busy so as not to think about it, it really wasn't very spiritual but when I see this miracle I get closer. To God for him I am here, in life there are difficult moments but we have to move forward to find a solution, blessings

Boy do I know that feeling. It's rage-inducing. I take Xanax 1mg. 3/day, helps very much to keep anxiety in check and helps me with the ADHD feeling of mind racing. Depression I can't help you with, I'm in that boat as well. Tried taking Wellbutrin the shrink gave me but that amped up my anxiety BIG time. Threw that crap away. Cymbalta I found to be effective at, for me, simply not caring. But like most head meds it makes you gain weight so I left that in the cabinet for emergency purposes. My depression is severe and ongoing, several decades. I think it's the constant pain due to age and deterioration. Can't sleep well. Medical marijuana helps but is no panacea. The government allowed that so we'd look for some harmless illegal drug to distract us from opiates. Plus insurance does not cover MMJ. And it's much more expensive than the black market, often not even in stock. No doctor wants to hear the word "pain" cause there's little to nothing they can do about it. Thanks to the "jack-booted thugs" of the FDA and DEA.

Are you local to Reading, Pa? I need a support buddy!

[Hidden in reply to D-man]

Nope, Florida. Sorry my friend but were I in your area I would be honored to have a friend who knows what I'm feeling. Two brains are sometimes better than one. Don't know about you but mine isn't really working that well at this time. But it has potential.

I take cbd oil all day every day I used to use zanex so much more frequently then I noticed the days when the recall happened I felt rage and sadness and sickness move in and the doctors did not care. Plus the girl at cvs looked at me like I was her mom bringing in some strange guy to feel her up at night. Absolute disgust when I stated what can I do if there’s no more zanex?

Absolutely nothing. And my doctor didn’t care. So to be honest zanex works immediately and well is 100% effective against fear panic and anxiety but the withdrawals are serious. Plus they think the batch with the metal flakes were causing Alzheimer’s. So angry but cbd oil helps all day every three hours and I have three bottles just for back up. And in case the world runs out of cbd I have weed. Doubt I will ever get a medical card they make it so they can connect your license to your drivers license and cops will pull me over and breathalyzer me. I don’t want any of that.

I tell me myself the world is a safe place with love flowing endlessly in my direction. Just go with the flow and when my time is up time was my companion and knows I tried my best. All people are just trying their best.

I feel for you, really I do. I've been taking Xanax 1mg. 3/day for over two decades and it has saved not only my life but potentially the life of others should I go into Rage Mode. So what if it's addicting. So is nicotine and alcohol but Xanax has relatively little to no side effects that I've noticed. And it's safe if taken as directed. Can't really same the same about the smokes and drinks. After opiates were taken away suddenly and unexpectedly, I was among the rush of people trying to find that relief from pain. Some turned to street drugs in distress, others committed suicide. All those I lay at the feet of the FDA and DEA. The drugs were not that harmful, it was the people who abused them who gave the entire industry, an entire class of drugs, a bad name. So the government backed off on the weed issue as a panacea for those needing, requiring, pain relief. Not much overall, but a crack in the door? But I've been a pothead for over 45 yrs. so I know a thing or two. And what the state of Florida allows for MMJ is alright in quality but outrageous in price. If you have a black market dealer, keep him. I understand not getting a card if you can acquire elsewhere; power to the people! Take care, and I'm hoping the best for you.
