Anybody out here?

I am really having a tough go with my anxiety and depression. I’m driving the people away that I love the most. I can’t get on with feeling better because I believe there is something else wrong. My body feels horrible, I dread everything and feel hopeless.

Hey,

This sounds really horrible for you. Anxiety and depression are tough on their own and it feels awful when we worry we’re hurting those we love. I can empathise with that feeling of not being able to carry on with life because of feelings of anxiety.

I’m here if you want to talk about it.

Take care of yourself

Elenor, I need someone to talk to in the worst way. I just want to feel better. I’ve been trying everything. Praying, meditating, mindfulness and nothing is working. I have been to the Dr’s and they keep adjusting my Paxil to different dosages. It’s not helping. I’m exhausted

[EleanorRose in reply to oicuamy]

It is exhausting and sometimes we just need to rest and try to take care of our basic needs. Have you asked the doctor about other options - talking therapy? If you feel medication isn’t working for you.

Sometimes we do just need to talk, not even in a therapeutic way, just to offload and be heard. It’s hard trying to keep everything in sometimes. Feel free to offload as much as you feel comfortable here.

Can you summarize how you got to this journey of yours? Have you always had these symptoms?

My little tips for depression and anxiety is keep busy. Make a cup of tea and clean out the kitchen drawers or paint or go through the wardrobe and chuck out what u don’t need. It has always helped me. It takes your mind of all those super busy thoughts running through the brain. I used to have anxiety attacks every single day and almost all day. Since taking turmeric every day I haven’t had an attack now for 6 months. If I feel a little low I get up and get busy. I know we all suffer differently but at least try , do your best to keep busy 24/7 and don’t forget the daily dose of turmeric. Feel better...

Thanks for all your kind words. I have been taking Paxil for 30 years. My anxiety, panic and depression started as postpartum depression. I was great for years until about 3 yrs ago. I just recently went to Gyno and found out that I am in menopause. Just yesterday he prescribed HRT and I am feeling much better. Let’s hope this was the missing piece to my sanity.

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. For turmeric, you may also note that there are challenges with absorption and forms that are hydro-soluble absorb better.
