How do u cure or make anxiety better? i don't like talking to psychologists because i always feel uncomfortable around them. also, one of my psychologists diagnosed me with aspergers, does this affect my anxiety? also, is it a good idea to try stealing prozac cuz im also depressed?
also can smoking weed help? i smoke weed usually i couple times a month
Don't steal. Most general practitioners will prescribe an SSRI rather than Prozac try to get Zoloft or Paxil they are both very effective with both anxiety disorder, social anxiety and depression
Actually Pot can aggravate anxiety in many people

I have a friend who is involved with a married woman. He has never done this type of thing before and he is typically a very moral person. It seems to be triggering some anxiety and depression with him and he feels very guilty and ashamed. It's making him really sad because everything is so hidden and wrong. He's worried all the time. He used to have problems with anxiety and depression, but hasn't in a few years. This situation seems to have affected him very badly, but he is still with her. Could this be considered situational stress and would go away if he stopped the relationship?
In most of the cases affair brings all these.
One of the reason is that-
in most cases either lady or Man choose a wrong partner.
or Any one of the partner want only time-pass / enjoy sex.
or One failed to get engaged with any other guys-
etc many reasong.
Best is to feel, share in any affair.

I'm hoping quiting drinking will help lesson my anxiety and depression. Any helpful ideas or stories will be appreciated.
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
If you're unable to take St John's Wort, you can substitute it with Siberian Ginseng or Licorice Herb.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….

I’m just wondering your views on alternative options for dealing with anxiety and depression. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I’ll reiterate a lot of what previous posters have offered:
1. regular exercise has been shown to be highly effective in managing depression - walking is fine.
2. eat a healthy diet - stay away from refined sugars, white flour, etc. Minimize caffeine consumption.
3. consider supplements such at St. John’s wort, which has been found to be as effective as some antidepressants in treating mild to moderate depression.
4. consider fish oil supplements - because they contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help combat depression.
5. practice relaxation and meditation - sit quietly and focus on your breath coming in and out. when your mind wanders, just bring it back to your breath. just a few minutes a day can really help calm and focus your mind.
6. journal 3 things you’re grateful for each day - the practice of looking for and writing down positive events (even if they’re really minor!) can help shift your outlook
Finally, just wanted to encourage you. I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety off & on for more than 15 years, and for most of that time treated it with medication and counseling. They worked, but the meds had a lot of side effects. When faced with continuing them indefinitely, I knew I wanted to try a different approach. I turned to SJW, regular exercise, and a healthy, sugar-free diet as cornerstones. I’m happy to report I’m getting the SAME results without the side effects. It might take a little more diligence, but for me it’s worth it.
Best of luck to you and hope this was helpful

Why do you think depression, anxiety and mental health problems have grown to be an epidemic? What do you think would help slow the progression of mental health problems? Do you think mental health problems are genitic, situational, environmental, or is it due to a chemical imbalance? When a person becomes depressed; do you think it is because our brain stops producing certain chemicals or does our brain produce a chemical that aggravates depression/anxiety? Why is it when we feel anxious, our bodies react in strange ways such as pounding heart, dizzyness, can’t breath, and intestinal problems?
Why do you think depression, anxiety and mental health problems have grown to be an epidemic? What do you think would help slow the progression of mental health problems? I think we just talk about them more than we used to. However, there are some social changes that may lead to anxiety; family structure isn't what it used to be, people feel more isolated, etc. Maybe having a stronger sense of family and being part of a group of people who care about you, people you can talk comfortably with about anything.
Do you think mental health problems are genitic, situational, environmental, or is it due to a chemical imbalance? It can be any of those; it's generally considered a "chemical imbalance", but that could be triggered by genetic, situational factors, physical disease or head injury, or any combination of these.
When a person becomes depressed; do you think it is because our brain stops producing certain chemicals or does our brain produce a chemical that aggravates depression/anxiety? At least some of the time, yes. More often the brain still produces them, but they break down too quickly before they do what they are supposed to do. No one is absolutely sure why that happens in some people and not others.
Why is it when we feel anxious, our bodies react in strange ways such as pounding heart, dizzyness, can't breath, and intestinal problems? The autonomic nervous system controls mood, anxiety, digestion, sex, etc. I think it's a kind of imbalance in the autonomic nervous system. It might have been there to help our prehistoric ancestors get away from an enemy or something but maybe the purpose of this isn't as practical in modern times. Kind of left over instincts for survival that are no longer applicable. (Just an idea.)

When I drive a truck for too long I get homesick and I get symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Can my psychiatrist help by giving me anti depressants and anxiety medications?
Ever consider a change in jobs? Sometimes usually too late in life that the work we were doing was not all that fulfilling.
You can take medication for your problem but it will only be a band aid, the problem will still be there,
I used to work heavy construction installing three story printing presses, sometimes it would keep me away from home months on end, nine months being the longest.
At first the job was quite challanging but as time went on I started getting anxious and bummed out.
My final trip on the road was concord california, where I suffered a severe heart attack with an anurism on the back side of my heart I was given last rights because only one in one hundred survive, I was the luckey one.
My problem was that I didn’t smell the roses till it was too late. so reconsider your situation and see if you can come up with something better, the economy is in the pits right now so new jobs may be hard to find.
