I have general anxiety and depression, help!?
ByMy last resort would be medication. I was wondering if anyone knew anything that relieves anxiety or helps depression? My anxiety is more of a prolem than my depression. My anxiety is preventing me from getting a job, meeting new people and many other things. Any advice? Thanks!

Meditation will take a bit of practice but it is well worth trying and the breathing techniques can help when your feeling stressed or panicky. they have helped many people cope and recover but it does take some practice before you feel the results.
All the very best

Med’s are required to help you. They are not a last resort, but an aid to help you out.

I know how it feels, I experience it myself.
Best thing to do would be to see a professional, whether it be a Therapist/Counselor/Doctor. They would help you in regards to your problems, as they will provide you with methods and strategies to help overcome the Anxiety as it seems like it’s affecting your lifestyle.

Try this http://www.easyanxietycure.org/anxiety it is a natural method for relieving anxiety and panic attacks. This method is all natural and uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques as opposed to pills etc. I can vouch for the effectiveness of it as well, i suffered from panic attacks for many years until i started using this product and since i started i have practically eliminated them from my life. So if you are really suffering give them a try.
