Am I the only one here that suffers from stress/anxiety/depression?

[rnch]

i get rid of mine by posting on internet chat rooms.

I had all of the symptoms, did my own internet diagnosis and bought some natural serotonin boosters (5-HTP and l-tyrosine). I feel way better and don't wake up at 4am worrying now.

yes, I am one anxious stressball

Do you take stims, drink alot of coffee or soda with caffeine?

I found cutting these all out of my daily routine, except a couple cups of coffee in the am helped me tremendously.

I get panic attacks at random, without any real reason. I sweat like crazy, heart races, feels like I can't breathe and everything is out of control and gone haywire. Suckz

i'm never depressed, but i do have a lot of anxiety. i think it's related to stress, which i'm under a lot. (it's not self imposed).

+1 definitely; I eventually phased all caffeine out entirely, don't miss it a bit.

Self medicating with alcohol or drugs makes you temporarily feel better briefly, then you feel worse overall the rest of the time when it wears off (speaking from experience here).

Regular exercise is crucial for me to maintain mental equilibrium.

And think about looking into yoga, tai chi or Qi Gong.

I have a lot of stress but that's about it.

I used to struggle with depression from like 17-20 that had me on the verge of suicide numerous times. Overcame that without drugs but I still have anxiety problems that I should probably find some help for. I'll have anxiety attacks while driving or at other crazy times. Nothing like cruising down the interstate at 85 MPH then you feel like your going to pass out. I'm always tense and shit...I did find that melanotin and valerian root help for sleeping but have yet to go to an actual doctor. I don't want to be another pill popper.

I've dealt with all the above. But for quite a while now...nope, I'm all good. I sleep like a baby too.
