Questions about anxiety/depression medicine?!

i felt the same way as you did when i first got diagnosed.
i felt very ashamed about it all and wouldnt tell anyone that i had depression and anxiety or that i was taking medication.
trust me when i say this feeling does go.
i also have a good job, i go uni have a good family and boyfriend and there "really isnt anything i should be depressed about" but ive learnt that over the years we all deal with things in different way.
you dont need to feel guilty although its easier said than done.
you sound like you have a good support system behind you and im sure you will over come this quickly

^^^ philip is right! :) you do NOT need medication! please be aware that these drug companies are self policed! they do their own research and cover up the studies that say that antidepressants can make teens suicidal! they won the right to direct- to- consumer advertise in the 90s and since then have been marketing illnesses to the masses! these drugs are KILLING people! do your own research on this! and become informed. if you are feeling guilty there is probably a reason behind it. also, be aware that once you diagnose yourself (or are diagnosed by a professional) that sticks with you for the rest of your life and becomes a self fulfilling prophesy! soon everything will be because of your "depression" or because of your "anxiety" revoke that! you do not need to rely on these medications to love life. Eat right, drink plenty of water, and exercise everyday until you are exhausted! you will find a new reason to live. ALSO-- when you put something artificial in your body to help boost your mood, your brain and its basic function for survival says "oh hey, you don't need me anymore, im going to stop producing what you need, im going to stop trying to keep you alive" this is simple adaption to environment, something that is inside of us ALL. so instead give your brain stimulation! and read up on these companies that are making your medication. the doctors get paid to prescribe you these medications... so be careful! be in charge of your own body! and KNOW what your putting inside of you! (lol) but seriously. be aware, be healthy, be smart, be happy.

I'm on Cipralex myself, for anxiety. We're among many, many people on meds. Oh, and that's in spite of being happily married with the best family and friends a person could want.

It's like one of the most common problems people have. I have it and I'm only 14! There's tons of people with it that just don't talk about it. You definitely don't need to feel bad about it.

don't be ashamed or anything, so many people are on meds, it's actually strange for someone to NOT be on a medication.

STOP GET YOURSELF INFORMED BEFORE U DAMAGE YOURSELF
what is vitally important is to choose your healing route- for this problem ----- carefully from good information—that means knowing druggs/meds treatment for this can/will be damaging to your mind and body .drugs only mask the symptoms they do not cure.

This info well –it will save ---years of suffering = if you apply it ..

All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense
It costs millions of pounds to test and approve just one treatment.

Drug companies pay for most testing and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies that have been tested with profit potential in them.

Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved massive amounts of suffering

Drugs are not the answer for any mental illness-- at best they mask symptoms

This is a fundamental principle grasp this fully –

Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, reiki Light therapy, Colour therapy, the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy and u wont because no one can put a patent on these powerful therapies .

For much more info/ detail and research behind this protocol

Upon joining this group you will be sent a file giving the info –or go to the files section within the group and u will see it there

Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by anyone trying for short cuts …

5 ensure your thyroid is working well get it checked

6 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

14 Positive affirmation- t programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .

15 get a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time

16 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs.== find a big tree and hug that.
.
17 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy

A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work. The more u do the better u will feel .

Get the spiritual healing /reiki in place asap

And remember this

Voluntary work for you is a very good idea especially when u consider this principle

,.all our healing and happiness - yours and mine is linked right alongside our efforts and contribution to others.in direct proportion to the help we give others

ie your healing comes with helping others =so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster...

.so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

Do not even dream of healing to come to you if you are doing wrongful acts , wrongful words , wrongful thoughts. All you are doing is making more of a burden for yourself

1 hour a day will make a difference to you and to others
