Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks

…. do you also have to go to a therapist? Is it required?

No, your family physician can do just fine.

I was told that Kava Kava is good for treating anxiety but upon further research i found it to be very dangerous. does anyone know of any others that could help?

My doctor suggested Valerian Root when I was dealing with post-partum depression. It does take the edge off of stress without that drugged feel.

I also use it as a gentle relaxant when I have insomnia. It’s rather pricey and sometimes hard to find, but it has been worth it for me. It is more effective than St. John’s Wort.
Other than the fact that it stinks like mold, I know of no side effects.

I’ve been having trouble with being able to handle things for the past couple years, and i’m wondering if there is really anything wrong with me. I’m having trouble concentrating on things, feel as though everything i have ever worked for and people i love are going to abandon me because i’m not good enough for them. There is a constant fear of them not liking me anymore. I’ve noticed that i feel alot more attatched to inanimate objects. I also have serious self-confidence issues. i don’t know the situation i am in, and if desired i can tell more of how i am feeling.(i feel selfish saying that).if anyone is a phycologist, then i would appreciate your insight.

I’m not a psychologist, but I am a social worker. You do sound like you may have some depression and/or anxiety issues. The good thing is that you have already started the road to recovery by reaching out for help. Both depression and anxiety are very curable. I have had both of these, and counseling really helped me.

Please know that when you are feeling like this is part of being down, and that things can get better. Your fears of not being good enough are very common to people who are depressed and people in general! I don’t think there are many people who have not privately felt that they are not "good enough". Self confidence can be learned. In the meantime, be gentle to yourself – you deserve it.

You sound like you could benefit from going to counseling. There are many ways to do this. You can get a referral from a community information center or 211 if there is a 211 line in your area. If you do not have benefits at work, there are some non-profit agencies if money is an issue. Some faith communities have trained counselors as well. If you have a good relationship with your family doctor, you could also talk to them about this and see if they have some referrals. I benefitted a lot from a book called Feeling Good by David Burns which should be in most major bookstores and libraries. Of course, there are many books that you might find helpful. Best of luck to you!

When society demands you have to be social and happy?

I think I am more aware of my depression when advertising, TV etc all seem to promote this as a happy time of year but then I think that’s just to be expected. Mostly I dread it because I always feel like a let down when I am around all of my family, but thinking about it this is mainly related to me having depression and anxiety. Also I dread it because there is so much food around and I have an eating disorder.

designed to ease the pain of the weekends utterly hopeless, miserable, humiliating, and abjectly wretched defeat by Everton?

Does it work?

Are you feeling any better?

Good point Mr B.
CBT would normally involve a therapist or counsellor, teasing out the ‘patient’s’ thoughts – on the rather dubious theory that thoughts govern our behaviour and both can be changed. Saturday’s dire result clearly led to the voluntary expression of many confused and anguished thoughts and I doubt such public soul baring did anything to ease the pain, the shock, the devastating blow to Mancs’ self-esteem and identification with success and self-glorification.
I’m not sure any type of therapy would help United fans – apart, perhaps, from opiates and allowing time to heal. It’s impossible to analyse the root cause(s) of United’s disshevelled, lack-lustre performance.
One sad case, obviously in a state of denial about Rednose’s competence as regards team selection, posted an especially banal Q – reminding us all of SAF’s "fantastic" record and seeking confirmation that he was "irreplaceable".
Poor chap – I fear for his mental state if United’s decline continues at the present rate and they end up without any trophies this year, as seems increasingly likely to many – apart from the die-hard fans unable to face reality.

Should we have a "Be nice to United fans week" ?

OK – what about a day – or an afternoon ?

Or would a minute’s silence be asking too much ?

Thankyou guys x

the gastrointestinal system is the most related system with psychosomatic effects, there are hundreds of hormons effecting bowel, stomach, try to have probiotics and omega3 tablets, try to relax with some music and yoga, stay away from people with trouble and unhappyness, be with the people you love, have some fun.

I had found out that i had generalized anxiety disorder and im going to go see a psychiatrist to talk about medication
i just want to know what type of medication can be used so i can researche the side effects
Thank You
