You are NOT alone. I suffer with severe depression and PTSD. These are very hard times because we are all isolated.

Thank you so much for your support ❤️

I definitely agree with you. During these hard times we’re going through definitely increased my anxiety.

Trying very hard to keep calm and positive.

Thank you again 🦋❤️

Hi sofiyati23

Do you take antidepressants?

no i never really been on any type of medication because i’m afraid i’ll rely on them to the point where if i don’t take them i’ll just feel like shit again. Im going to see a doctor soon but it’ll be helpful to know people’s review on them. Are you on any ? if so, let me know how’s its going ❤️ it’ll be helpful ❤️

Antidepressants gave me my life back! I can't live a normal life without them.

If I have to take them the rest of my life, I will, because I never want to go back to that dark place I was at. I'm happy now!

Please pass this on, .........I woke up one morning years ago feeling scared. Then came the panic attacks, weird feelings, weird thoughts,& full blown anxiety.

Thought I was going crazy etc, took some meds that made it worse. Started carrying xanax with me always.

Then I found the book , AT Last A Life by Paul David. Years back I had to order it from the U.K. It changed my life of anxiety into one of recovery.

This little book tells how the author overcame anxiety & all its symptoms. He explains how anxiety is nothing more that a chemical reaction in the body. Its like when you hear a loud noise in the middle of the night , your shaking with fear, thinking all kinds of scary thoughts . Then you walk towards the kitchen with a bat in your hands & you realize the cat knocked over a plant. Once you know there is nothing to fear your body & brain slowly calm down .

Well this book exposes that anxiety & all its symptoms are easily explained.

Once you realize there is nothing to fear , your anxiety & all its scary symptoms start to lessen . So the next time you hear a loud noise in the kitchen ,you just roll over & go back to bed.
