Dealing with Anxiety (Page 4)

ZeroCool010: Hi LadyGanja, I've been dealing with a lot....like, depression, anxiety, mood disorder, acid reflux, panic attacks, eating problems...so I know where your coming from...not much fun....

diehardgolfer: drop into spin chat its an awesome site and no drama like here on wire. i loves spin. see ya there soon ok.

GinnyTx: as an ex psych RN here..and how to comment appropriately, I agree if you DO not need meds stay the hell off them. Now ANGER is the key thing I see here, the ole depression is anger turned inward. Having had an abusive marriage and gave it all to save my kiddos, it was not an overnight process, they were really pissed I didnt save them from more, LOTS of open talk, and maybe a psychologist a good one, they're hard to find, but coping skills, are needed, you are young and never stuck. You need a "bigger range of tools in your tool box" and don't forget mom's dealing with her sh*t too and it hurts us more than death to have our kids hurt. Especially after the fact.

Discect it, conquer what you can in little steps. Work on medical issues first, one thing I taught myself and the baby doctors we train as nurses, the mind will not follow if the body's not taken care of first.

you are in charge of your destiny..hell I did volunteer work back then as your confidence gets zapped to sh*t when youre a kicking matt. there's a start..and embrace that inner child, it's still there and do something joyful each day..

there's absolutely no post to meet this need, there are some awesome phone resources..they do help, a cousin works for one did great then got suicide hotline and had a nervous breakdown. Example being as we say in the biz "do not open Pandora's box" if youre not ready for something, an issue, hell divert to something that builds sefl confidence..and tackle that "bad box" on the way..or after you're built up more and can handle it. *HUGS*

GinnyTx: oops that''s gone *LOL* gotta love the caching 'round here

Zorkmid: Stop smoking pot for starters....
