Getting Anxious Over Anxiety And Depression?
A lot of people who are exerting too much of their brain power usually exhaust not only their physical strength when engaging in various multi-tasking activities, they also tend to over extend their brains up to the point when it plainly needs some good old time for relaxation. A lot of busy people who seem to cannot fathom the idea of relaxing and taking time of from work, as well as their worries, tend to actually start having nervous breakdowns, anxiety depression and all sorts of mental illnesses that can cause a person’s sanity to go haywire, fortunately, if you’re one of those poor unfortunate ones who are unable to distress and is constantly worried and fussing over things, there are actually available cures and various treatments for treating anxiety depression.
Anxiety depression is actually characterized by all sorts of irregularities and erratic behavior from the person who is suffering from it, this is usuallu due to certain stress triggers that may tend to easily cause a person undue jitters and stress. Also, a lot of people who tend to get easily nervous over stressful activities are actually prone to having anxiety depression, its just a matter of being strong-willed when it comes to facing difficult and stress-prone activities. It may be pretty hard to overcome at first, but trying to be calm and cool in times of extreme pressure is what’ll actually save your mental health from going totally downward spiral.
When it comes to effectively curing one’s self from a mental illness, one must keep in mind that you have to be actually honest with yourself and assess what kind of depression or mental illness you actually have, go to reputable psychiatrist to get yourself diagnosed correctly as well as be able to get the right depression treatment for yourself. Here are the various types of depression:
Manic or Bipolar depression characterized by sudden and extreme changes in one’s mood wherein one minute he or she is in an elevated state of euphoria while the
next minute (day or week) he or she is feeling to be in a personal hell.
Postpartum depression characterized by a prolonged sadness and a feeling of emptiness by a new mother wherein physical stress during child birth, an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby can be just some of the possible factors why some new mother go through this.
Dysthimia characterized by a slight similarity with depression, although this time, it’s been proven to be a lot less severe, but of course with any case, should be treated immediately.
Cyclothemia characterized by a slight similarity with Manic or Bipolar depression wherein the individual suffering from this mental illness may occasionally suffer from severe changes in one’s moods.
Seasonal Affective Disorder characterized by falling in a rut only during specific seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall) studies however, prove that more people
actually fall in to a rut more during the Winter and Fall seasons and lastly, Mood swings, wherein a person’s mood may shift from happy to sad to angry in just a short time.
But the type of depression that has actually been proven to be quite common among people is anxiety depression, which is actually characterized by the state of being overly anxious about things. Anxiety, a supposedly normal behavior that’ll actually help a person adjust more to a certain stressful activity like first date jitters or a grueling exam the following day. Anxiety actually helps you get psyched up towards facing certain “difficult situations”; anxiety therefore is actually a good thing. Anxiety depression however, is simply the opposite, not to be easily dismissed as a “case of the nerves”; Anxiety depression is in actuality an illness that can be caused from the biological makeup of an individual, or in other words, a hereditary illness.
Also, there are actually various types of Anxiety depression, each having its own unique characteristics. Take for example Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD, this kind of Anxiety depression is a lot more complicated than the average Anxiety depression, in spite of possibly being a day-to-day habit for those who suffer this kind of Anxiety depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually makes the individual quite more paranoid than usual, anxiety attacks are more frequent, even absurd at times. They can even be anxious even when there’s no apparent reason that calls for them to behave in such a way. People suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually shows a lot of symptoms, from lack of sleep, to being unable to relax, getting tired easily, cannot concentrate on what they’re doing and even suffering from depression. This kind of Anxiety depression is still curable; just a little work will actually do the trick.
Consult a reputable cognitive behavior therapist who’ll help give the individual the therapy that he or she needs to help him or her loosen up, also prescribed medicines are sort of a must to help these individuals battle anxiety attacks, help them calm down and relax.

Becoming an optimist has helped my anxiety/depression a lot.
Looking back, I realized what a terribly negative outlook I had on life. I anticipated bad things happening before they happened. Because of this, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy and bad things did happen.
The book "Learned Happiness" by Martin E. Seligman has helped me a lot. Also, instead of being so subjective about things, try looking at things objectively. I try to step outside myself and look at my life as if I was a character in a movie. I then realize how easy my problems are to fix.
Go to the library and read books on anxiety/depression. Look at books in tune with the Positive Psychology movement. Look for books on optimism.
Go to a bookstore because the newer books out usually have more to do with positive psychology than older ones….
I went to a psychiatrist for anxiety and he only made it worse. I took anxiety meds but they only gave me a headache…
You don’t need drugs! You just need to turn yourself into an optimist and have a new outlook on life.

U have the same story I have! My anxiety and depression flare up to the point that I can’t function when i’m under stress (or in a bad relationship). I’ve been on Paxil & Effexor; both of which killed my sex drive (i’d rather be depressed than not be able to enjoy sex!) BUT I’ve been on Welbutrin SR for years (on and off) and have never had any sexual disfunction! This is the only antidepressant that I know of that promotes the lack of sexual side effects. I’ve noticed (for me anyways) that any drug that combats anxiety has bad sexual side effects. But I’ve found its easier to deal with my anxiety when i’m not depressed. I only have to use my Xanax once in a blue moon for severe attacks.
Bottom line: Try the Welbutrin. it may help u as it helped me.
Also, continue your therapy! Ask your Dr about this book: Mind over mood by Dennis Greenberger & Christine Padesky. I used that book in my cognitive behavioral therapy and it REALLY helped me understand and lessen my anxiety!
I hope things get better for you!

u and me, we’re like two peas in a pod…..LOL!

Some natural remedy I undertook was avoid taking drinks that are depressant especially coffee & alcohol. Use bright lights in your house like the flourescent lamps instead of those cozy bulbs but daylight is still the best. If you can find time and walk in the park where there are lots of trees or maybe go to the beach. Nature is also one of the best remedies for depression.
I know of a site that is full of information on depression. Check this out:

Got over anxiety and depression. Starting to come back?
At the beginning of the year I was really depressed and was having anxiety attacks for the first time in my life. I went to therapy (I still go every other week) and they tried me on meds. I hated all the meds (killed my sex drive) and stopped taking them per my doctors approval. I have led a relatively depression and anxitey free life for the past 3-4 months.
Now the feelings are creeping back into my head. I am under more stress than normal. I will soon be starting a new job and drastic change has always freaked me out. I find myself feeling anxious and nervous for NO REASON. Ill be watching TV and all of a sudden I feel the anxiety below the surface.
I can take the meds again if my feelings get worse. I have a full supply Xanax. But I dont want to do that because I did not like what it did to me. I also have some Wellbutrin XL that I have never taken.
Any advise? Id like to get this under control naturally. Any natural ways that will help?
Tell me what you're thinking...
