Keep thinking the way you are. That you are gonna beat it. see a doc and go to counselling. You will get good days hon.

sometimes you just have to hold on for the ride.that is me.

Find a good doc and work hard at therapy. If you are prescribed medications, take them exactly as directed and keep a log of how you feel. Med dosages almost always have to be adjusted, and it's not uncommon to have to try more than one med.

If you have clinical depression, meds help.

fight it tooth and nail...if it tries to brainwash you with negative thoughts, then fight back with positive ones

There will be a break in the clouds - been there and done that.

The absolute BEST advice I can give you is to just DUMP any "excess baggage" you may be carrying around to lighten yourself up, have faith and walk on. It DOES get better.

Seen a counsellor and a shrink and been on medication for 3 years read loads of books pushed myself hard exercised studied done relaxation tapes listened to anthony robbins saved money toward my future even done a parachute jump and i still feel anxious and like shit alot of the time, but if im honest im better then i was before i sought help when i was 24 and done all these things so least im going in right direction i guess!

Keep thinking positive, take deep breaths and take it one day at a time. Remember that it takes time and that there will be both up and down days ahead. Don't be afraid to reach out to others for help. Brighter days are ahead for you hun.

Someone here once posted the following quote that I often look upon:

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
~Helen Keller

I drove myself nuts a lot too - trying everything and trying to WILL myself better. When I put everything down and said "you know what, I give" and just RELAXED a little and did things in a more balanced way, I began to feel better. Why? Who knows. I just got a little better every day, and my life is much more pleasant and manageable now.

your doing all sorts of great things.....you just have to hang in there and know that one day you will feel a little better and the next day a little better....before you know it your feeling better more days than bad!!!

That you're saying you want to beat it is a great step!
