Me thinking about going to the doctor and getting checked out about being anxious all the time came out of the blue, but Ive been battling severe anxiety since childhood. It started coming to a head recently tho. Which is got me thinking about it and doing my own research.
Is ur anxiety related to depression in any way?

I would suggest you do not let them put you on something daily. Go to counseling if you have to but I would not fukk with too much medication. It's not for everyone. Some of the anti-anxiety meds will have you wanting to kill yourself or alter the way you view everything. If you want to keep your own thoughts I would suggest going to counseling and maybe having them prescribe you a low grade benzo. You can pop one of those and it's instant relaxation but will only last for like 4-8 hours. They can be addictive so only use them when you are really anxious. It helps carrying the benzos with you too because then you feel like you have a mechanism that can defeat the anxiety. It relieves your anxious thoughts just by having them on your person.
I hear u but i dont want to take any meds at all.
I have a aunt that got diagnosed with something similar when she was around my age and they almost instantly got her on a med and she has been right (past 10 yrs) since..shyt scares me
@M Dawg how you gon skim over this post?

Weed, Pills, Alcohol. Those are band-aid solutions. Hell, you should be on those to have fun not cause your depressed. Some people enjoy the downward spiral. It's as good as the drugs themselves. Depression and anxiety is a matter of how your mind copes, or doesn't cope with the world at large. Pills don't help. They make it worse. Psychiatrist? When I gave my psych $600 I saw I could come up with money for him, but I hadn't seen $600 in my hand before that I realized my problem was I didn't have enough money and I could help myself. He was telling me I was a smart kid and was telling me stuff I already knew. He was actually mirroring myself to myself most of the time. Some sessions he got me to talk to myself.
The thing is humans NEED something to do. We NEED to make our own place in the world. We NEED a strong sense of self. Anything less is trying to find yourself and a somewhat satisfied life. The trick is learning your not going to get their fast and that you have your whole life to perfect your SELF and your life. Ask yourself this, What else would I be doing for the next 80 years of my life? Trust me, anything else is just a distraction.
Real talks, a mental disorder IS a Demon in someways, it will do anything to survive as long as it can while killing you slowly. The depression and anxiety skipped the post cause it was actually helpful to getting rid of it. It doesn't want to go away.

well like I said a benzo is just to calm your ass down so you can function properly in a situation that you really need to focus on. Say you are taking a test and you are very anxious about it. If you can't control your anxiety you are probably going to have running thoughts and do very poorly. If you had a benzo it would kick in within 20 minutes, you take the test with a clear mind, you are very relaxed and then before you know it the drug is out of your system.
It's just a suggestion. It's not a longterm fix. If you are that anxious then you need counseling to learn more about what your triggers are.

taking advice from rofl_guy? oh dear...
Let me have it then breh
.
1st. DIET - more importantly B - VITAMINS -- http://www.social-anxiety-disorder-resources.com/bvitamins.html --
[QUOTE
B-Vitamins
B-vitamins play a vital role in chemical processes throughout the brain and body. Research shows that unhealthy levels of essential B-vitamins like B6, B9 and B12 may contribute to poor mood and feelings related to anxiety and depression. Supplementing your diet with essential B-vitamins can have a direct effect on important neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. As well, evidence suggests that B-vitamins are important cofactors that help balance and metabolize neuro-toxic chemicals that have been linked to anxiety and depression related conditions.
[/QUOTE]
there is more details on each specific B-Vitamin in the link i posted... covers b1,b3,b5,b6,b9,b12..
heres another source to back up the original about B-Vitamins and there benefits for those suffering with anxiety,depression.. http://www.livestrong.com/article/454815-does-vitamin-b-help-with-anxiety/
the easiest way i have found to get the daily amount of ALL OF THESE VITAMINS @ once without having to buy 11 seperate things (you should get your b-viatims from food and not from a vitamin pill/capsule tc..)
is this
GREEN TEA ---- http://www.livestrong.com/article/486339-does-green-tea-relieve-stress/ i drink this every nite...
The anti-anxiety properties of tea don't take long to appear: You may notice increased relaxation shortly after finishing a mug of this beverage. According to an article published in the January 2008 issue of the "Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition," L-theanine http://www.livestrong.com/article/249742-l-theanine-for-anxiety/ --the relaxation-inducing amino acid found in tea--significantly increases calmness about 45 minutes after consumption, altering your brain waves to a more relaxed state for an additional 60 minutes or longer. The length and potency of tea's effects may vary, depending on the quantity and type of tea you consume.

i highly recommend --- TAOSIM --- will help your general well being and cleanse your soul.. as well as feed it with positive light and energy...
meditation and breathing exercise are also key components...
soul healing.
I would like to take you step by step through and exercise I try to do at least weekly.
I want you to close your eyes, with your feet on the ground, and imagine roots growing from your feet into the ground. Feel the earth and your connection to Her. Dig deep and count down from 10….9….you are growing roots deeper into the earth……8…7…6…5...4...3...2...1…
You are grounded and secure. Nothing can harm you on this journey…
ow I want you to imagine the color RED in your minds eye. Picture a bright red apple, or bright red roses…Take in a deep breath counting to 5 and imagine the red light coming from deep within the earth up into your body to rest in your root chakra at the base of your spine. See the red, feel it light up. Exhale the light up your spine and out the crown of your head encircling your body like a shimmering light.
Now breathe in, bringing down the red light from above. Bring the light down to your base and exhale back into the earth.
Visualize with your minds eye the color ORANGE. See a bright orange, or a beautiful orange flower. Bring the energy up from the earth to sit in the sacral space just below your umbilical region. Continue to exhale up and out and surround your body in orange light. Now in reverse. Breathe in from above and back down into the earth.
Now breathe in the color YELLOW. Imagine a great sun or yellow flower. Bring the color into you solar plexus center near the navel. Repeat. Feel the power of your self-confidence. Know your strength. You are strong and can face any problem with ease.
Next is the color GREEN. Green grass or fresh green salad. SEE the color. See the light. Bring that light into your heart. Feel the LOVE burst open from within and seal your body with LOVE and LIGHT. At this point you may burst into tears; feeling a release of emotion.
Next, I want you to see the color BLUE. Imagine a bright blue ocean or sky. Bring this light up from the earth and rest in your throat chakra. Imagine yourself being able to speak your truth. Open up in song if you feel the desire. RELEASE….Breath down from the sky and back down into the earth.
Your body is beginning to glow as you now focus on your third eye region. Imagine the color purple, a swirling energy vortex of light resting upon your brow. Know that you’re a gift and that you can heal yourself. See your path illuminate. Surround yourself in this purple light, sealing the other colors wrapped like a blanket next to your skin. Enter into a state of a state of enlightenment. At this moment you may begin to see visions. Let your mind observe what is happening around you.
i want you to see the color violet.Feel the violet light as you breathe in from the earth up and out the top of your head.You are connecting to the great web of life. Connecting with the DIVINE oneness, use your perception to connect with empathy towards humanity.Just like the root chakra connecting you to mother earth, commune with spirit through your crown. easing yournervous system. You begin to feel at peace with God or whatever belief you hold dear. Seal this light around your body and back down into the earth.
Take a moment to observe your thoughts. You are going to bring up WHITE LIGHT from the earth and sky, connecting within the electrical grid running up and down your body. I want you to take this WHITE LIGHT and expand it out creating a protective shell around your body, bringing you health and cleansing. Take this WHITE LIGHT and imagine it turning into a diamond. You are sealing your aura with this strength so that no harm may come to you. Your light will shine so bright and reflect LOVE back onto others. Feel the connection to your body and seal it tight……
At this time you may open your eyes or stay seated. Feeling the new energy within you, know that YOU ARE LOVED….
You are ONE with the UNIVERSE
