Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Medication

So is my medication going to take away or lessen my thoughts that I'm having like "this is never going to end." I think I am losing the battle of anxiety/depression sometimes and I'm 44 and have been well MOST of my life with YEARS inbetween being sick - I know I have to also be positive, but it's hard when I think - what if I have this when I'm 50, 60, 70, and what is keeping me here in this state of mind. Something has to give and give my life back. Has anyone had an episode that would just go on and on? I had small ones but this one is BIG and I can't seem to put my finger on what is causing it and when it will end. SCARES me and that's probably why I'm not getting well as fast as I'd like. Please advise.

I would recommend ...highly recommend.....that you contact a professional ......a counsellor in your area....see if you can find someone you trust to recommend someone locally......the waiting list can be long at the family doc! Are you drawn to therapy at all/ does complementary health appeal to you......? See if you can find a good person who does massage/ aromatherapy......this is a wonderful way to relax, and give the negativity a chance to subside.......

you do need some sort of help with this state of mind......things can come up for us ...it's not a failure to ask for help......

We are probably in very different places- seeing as how I just started college- but for the last month I have just been very... down. I have spent entire days in my bed in my room without coming out at all or eating, etc. I miss class & feel so bad all the time. It's hard to be around people & I'm always really scared. I think sometimes that I will never feel better. That there is no point to feeling better because nothing actually matters. I can barely stand thinking about the future. I miss a lot of meetings with my therapist, but the last time I went she was really serious about me going on medication. I should be starting it soon, & I have no idea what to expect. I don't really have any hopeful words because I'm kind of in the same position. I think it's best to just hang in there & do what you can for now. Hopefully medication works out...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
