Anxiety Answers & Help

Answers to all your questions about anxiety and panic attacks

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….

Lifting weights gives me some mild derealization and increases my anxiety hours later.

However, cardio work does NOT do this.

I'm not sure what that would be…but if anyone can find a perfect hit for me, that would be a great favor ^^

I don't know if you can call this a disease. It's more of a condition. When I had hypertension I had all these problems. They're all inter-related and feed off each other.
I know a single treatment that might handle all these and that's slow breathing. It relaxes, relieves anxiety, improves sleep and it's clinically proven to lower high blood pressure.

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
