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

[j_p]

lots of people do.

some are truly ill... others are just really bad at controlling their internal states and thinking patterns, or suffer from completely natural emotional responses to situations but often jump on medication to fix something that can be controlled without it.

Anxiety is definetely one thing that is WAY overprescribed drugs for. It is completely natural feel to anxious in alot of situations. Walking up to a complete stranger/woman or trying to sell somebody/public speaking etc are naturally anxious situations for people. no need for a pill.Desensitizing and exposure to the trigger are usually the best way to get rid of those anxieties, as confidence dispels anxiety.
Full blown panic attacks are a different story though and that means there is something wrong on a neurological level

I've battled with depression for 10 years. I've taken prescribed drugs for maybe 6-8 months out of those 10 years and that was only when i was in a severe full blown depression after major life changing events.
I sometimes wonder if my complacency and "blahness" i face pretty often is a result of it and if i were to go back on meds would i function at a much higher level.

It's a struggle, but you can overcome it.

Amen to that!!
Iv been in some pretty rough spots in my life. tried SSRI when i was young (stupid doc was quick to give me something because i hated the world blah blah blah ... was highschool mindset .. like common doc!) and that made me feel the most messed up.
iv had a bunch of full blown panic attacks and its not fun. might as well just die it could be soo bad. anxiety also. but iv avoided anxiety meds to this day and have built my thought patterns than allow any random thought to dictate how i am going to feel or act. thought patterns are the main thing, even those that may at one point have lost it it really is the main thing to focus on. I have used and regularly rec Kava KAva root drinks to those dealing with any of these. but its not a long term solution, only a helper, the work is no the person, not a pill, not a plant... i hate pharma/doc for what they have done to many people. pill for everything now, more money in that...

Pick...I've suffered from crippling anxiety and depression since I was 18. I believe you and I talked about this at one point.
Since getting into the profession I have, I have learned much about mutations. I discovered I have MTHFR and Pyroluria. Since treating both, I've not had one panic/anxiety attack in 2 years.
I didn't fly for 30 yrs and 2 years ago, booked a flight alone and went away. I also do everything now I could not for 30 yrs because of anxiety. Two years ago, I could not even fathom doing these sorts of things. I pretty much function 100% now.

And yep, not one ounce of anxiety and depression in my body. I suggest you rule these out. If you need more info, you can email me. There is a TON of info out there on these two mutations.
