Anixity and Depression?

I have it and the doctors can't help. Medicine doesn't do any good. Any alternatives?

yess!!! i suffer from this too..medicine just puts me in a fog and makes me feel dead... get on a regular sleeping pattern....drink lots of water (being dehydrated gets alot of people anxious/ depressed)....stay away from junk/ eat healthy...and excersize daily/ as much as you can...this might not sound like much but trust me it really works!! good luck and you can always talk to me if you want!

try a different med or get off of them and talk talk talk to a professional or trusted perosn. Also always try to do upbeat , happy, and excersising and listening to good music.

All I can say is that there are lots of combinations docs can try. The problem is you have to stick it out.
For example, meds like seroquel are a great additive to anti-depressants, to make them more effective and they help you sleep. They're new so they're EXPENSIVE but they work.
The more you stop/start your meds, the less likely they are to work. It's a catch 22.

Yes! I used to suffer horribly with anxiety and depression. Medication just made me sleepy and then the problems would come back when the medication wore off.

I found this site a couple of years ago, something like "The Midwest Center for Depression and Anxiety" and they have an excellent program that really works.

It takes about 11 weeks to go through the program at home (if you apply yourself), but you will notice a huge difference in just a couple of weeks in how you think.

I did this about 2 years ago and will do it again if I ever feel shaky. I promise - it really does work!

I had the same situation and the doctors thought that thr was no cure. But suddenly I started looking positive about everything instead of the negative sides and I turned out to be a confident and a very happy person.

There is an alternative these days but you need to take it up and do it. It is a self improvement game that you play for ten days. It is the greatest advancement in stress management in the history of man. It has been eight years from its beginning and already it is helping people around the world .

The Millennium game, as it is called, gives you the names of the seven negative human emotions common to us all. You can get your God given copy at,

Perhaps you would check in with me here if you decide to play. I have a few bits of information, gathered from personal experience that will make playing the Millennium game, a lot more interesting and fun.
