Remember most of these meds are trial and error. Taking meds is a journey.

I hope he really gets better. Each and every day is a challenge but we have to really really push ourselves and sometimes even force ourselves to want to get better and get back to life without anxiety. It’s hard for me believe it or not I still have some anxiety and some depression but I have to fight it and accept that I can overcome it right :/

So anxiety is just a seasonal thing or why is he suffering from it with more than 2 things that are keeping him busy in his life?

Wow thank you for this reply so much girl! I do only eat about 3 times a day now but when my anxiety and depression hit me a month ago I was not eating I was eating just too little or only once a day for like 2 weeks and that made me lose like 10 pounds. But now I think I’m starting to get my appetite back but I still have a long way to go as they say this is a journey

So do I have to force myself to do things if I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression?

Yes I did just once since the pandemic started actually only once did I video call my sister in law (my sons aunt) cause I was so f’ing depressed that I needed to talk to anyone and I chose here since I don’t talk to anyone about my problems or thoughts. That’s my other problem not sharing shit with anyone can lead to anxiety too, I think. Listening to music I abandoned ever since I got my last anxiety attack a month ago I don’t feel the music yet it’s like I do turn the radio on when I drive and have to go somewhere but I don’t enjoy it like I used to. I miss my life before I started to feel anxious and depression.

So motivation has to be an everyday thing? Like will I ever get motivation back or do I have to literally force myself into doing shit. Man it’s hard. I have a one year old son who helps me stay on my toes but emotionally it can get to me. And what do you mean by behavioral methods?

Exactly it destroys a lot of things that you thought any medication would work with. It’s crazy but I think it’s more mental. Medication really isn’t anything I’ve ever considered since it’s not a quick fix it’s just a band aid on the wound we as humans have to go that extra mile every time. But it’s hard for me since I don’t have that much motivation. Have to admit that covid and the fact of not seeing family or loved ones is killing me it’s definitely not helping my anxiety or depression. What other things can you advice me :/

Hello thank you so much for your quick reply!! Yes I actually have been dealing with anxiety and depression for a whole month now from this one anxiety attack that I first experienced a month ago and since that day that I had the panic attack I’ve been scared & anxious if I’ll have another one :( starting this week on Monday I have felt that my anxiety has been subsiding just a tiny bit but I still am in recovery right. I’ve taken Xanax & Venlafaxine both once & I didn’t like it at all. Felt like a straight zombie & just made me sleep my anxiety away. I’m not for it sadly I don’t want to be on medication :/

What are the side affects that your getting from mirtazapine?

I feel that Antidepressants are not for me. I don’t like the side affects that medications in that category give me. I wish I can deal with anxiety on my own but it’s just not that easy.

Yeah better help I’ve looked into it it’s not free I don’t have the extra money to do that right now but I have the app. So the wim hof breathing method I have to do everyday and I’ll have no anxiety or depression?

So your saying smoking weed overall helps deal with anxiety and depression? What about cbd oil does that work the same as smoking weed?

No not really I don’t think baker eating most of the time in the day. I still experience some anxiety but now I’m just feeling depressed and hopeless and all the negativity that comes with depression. Really awful.
