I have panic/anxiety disorder, how can you cope with that and depression without taking drugs? |
(before i explain things, i want everyone to know i'm not like all of the other whinny little teenagers claiming they are "depressed" because it seems it's become a fad of some sort.)i'm only seventeen and fresh out of high school and idon't see the point to life anymore. i'm angry all the time, i cry a lot and i just can't be happy. i wan't to be content and carefree like i used to be... on top of all things i get panic attacks like really often, i don't want to take drugs but therapy isn't cutting it for me...help? (only serious answers, please) YOU THINK TOO MUCH THAT IS WHY YOU PANIC MORE! LEARN TO FOCUS MORE ON LITTLE THINGS AND DON'T GET STRESSED OUT..LEARN HOW TO COPE WITH EVERYDAY LIVING. FIND A NEW HOBBY TO KEEP YOUR MIND BUSY. If you're in therapy and it's not helping, you might want to go to another one. They're not all one in teh same. Maybe someone could help you better. As for the panic and axiety attacks, when you feel one coming on, step back and do some deep breathing exercises. I have panic and anxiety attacks, too and I have found that these deep breathing exercises have helped a bunch. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Try yoga and meditation. It does seem to help. It's good that you don't want to try to solve your problems with medication, because they only prolong the disorder. The sooner you are able to deal with your problems with a clear head, the better off you will be. plastic knife work well enough for me. contact me: mjtess@optonline.net Okay, here's your serious answer. Buy this book: "The Feeling Good Handbook" by Dr. David Burns. Read it and do the assignments diligently for four weeks, at least. You should start to feel better after the third week, but keep doing it until you don't have to think about it. It got me out of suicidal depression. You may read my story here: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/anti... It's particularly difficult, but considering the alternative, you don't really have much choice. It does get easier week by week. Email me, if you have any questions. I've been over it for about a year now and thank God nearly every day. No drugs, doctors, or anything. Just good mental and physical health. Trust me. 'nuff said? You might want to consider having two therapist who will view you differently and both help you come up with new strategies to try out. Breathing exercises are wonderful. I had anxiety disorder during college and trying to figure out my life in my late teens early 20s. I eventually learned to relax and just take one moment at a time. I relied on prayer and my boyfriend (now husband) and mom to help me. Just talking it out can do wonders for you. It wouldn't hurt to try acupuncture, or maybe it would. Good luck! |
