Thoughts not coming to me, anxiety/depression related?!
Question: Thoughts not coming to me, anxiety/depression related!?
I've been having trouble focusing during conversations and thoughts that I feel should pop into my head just don't and it leaves me at a loss of words!. Can anxiety be the cause of me not being able to focus/concentrate on the conversation!? Could this be ADD related!? I also have trouble reading sometimes!. Sometimes I'll have to read passages over and over because my mind drifts off or I forget what I read!. I'm pretty sure I have a minor case of depression, could be worse than I think I'm not sure!. I've also been having issues with anxiety in social situations!. I've been taking St!. John's Wort to assist me in this!. It has helped with depression and anxiety!.
The other day I went out with a friend and I actually seemed normal!. The only thing I did different was not take St!. John's Wort!. I did take a dose of it in the morning but that was several hours ago!. I don't think not taking it is the reason I felt normal because I'm sure there were still traces of it in me since I've been taking it for a few weeks now and I've tried not taking it again and I didn't feel normal!. To describe what "normal" is: I had little to no anxiety the entire night in situations where I normally would without taking St!. John's Wort!. Thoughts were popping in my head and conversation was flowing with my friend much better than it usually does!. I met new people and I normally would stay quiet and have some anxiety but conversation flowed with them as well and it wasn't awkward like it normally would be!. I talked to a stranger on the phone and conversation flowed with them!. I talked to a friend on the phone for a decent amount of time and I would usually feel like I have nothing to say but conversation flowed with her as well and I felt completely normal doing it all!.
I would normally be quiet around strangers, bad at holding conversations with them, and feel awkward on top of it!. None of this existed this night!. It only happened this night!. I wanna feel and act this way all the time!. What can the problem be!? What do I need to do to be able to feel and act like this everyday!?
**The only drugs I took that day were St!. John's Wort and caffeine like I usually do in the morning!. No other drugs including alcohol were taken!. Alcohol would make me feel the same way but I also get the negative side effects such as memory loss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
St John's Wort builds up in the brain chemistry over the course of a few days to a week (when you first start taking it!.) Missing one dose, if you're more than a week into taking it, is unlikely to cause such a rapid shift in mood!.
However, fluctuations in your brain chemistry that the Wort cannot compensate for might do!. Certain chemicals can give you confidence - just like certain ones can strip you of it!. If I were you, I'd sort out whatever mental health issues you have with a doctor, and you might find yourself in a better position to achieve this confident, outgoing persona more often! :)
