Here is my experience with going on anxiety medication and what led up to me going on medication. A lot of people are on anxiety medication or medication for depression and I hope that more people start talking about this so it can become more normal and accepted. Sertraline has changed my life for the better and I have not really had any side affects. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video :)

And have an amazing day!!!!
You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.
My anxiety and panic attacks started happening at work. To the point I didn't want to go to work anymore. People would tell me just don't think about but I wish they would understand it doesn't work like that.
I wish they would understand too, just know that I understand where you are coming from and that it does get better :) much love from california
Bandido, There is a solution to every problem if there is a desire and determination. . For a relaxed life without anxiety and depression sit on a chair, back and spine erect, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your inhalation-exhalation breathing and body sensations for around 10-15 minutes. What is important is to be as still as possible. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce or vanish slowly. The mind is reprogrammed to develop your mental muscles. Do twice daily or as per your convenience. This could be life-transforming if you desire change. Take charge of your life. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
How are you now bro?
I'm so sorry to hear that, people can be so unforgiving and unhelpful, thankfully there is support out there, I wish they understood too
@@soundsbynature3880 medication has helped a lot and I'm much happier now especially with therapy.
Yes!!!! All the time people tell me "just breath" or "dont think so much"
ugh yes I feel you on that. don't listen to them, focus on yourself and your health :)
Yea my parents would tell me to just keep busy, but how do you get your brain to shut off from obsessive thoughts?! Lol
@@insearchofveracity2304 good question once I started taking the medication the obsessive thoughts stopped and are now more controlled :)
Yea that shit dont work
I lived 24 years with panic attacks, stopped playing sports and lost jobs. I thought this was normal. I thought this was life. And as a Christian, I always ran away from medication. However, one day I woke up feeling impending doom if I continued this way. I never would self harm but I felt I would do something stupid out of desperation to over come the pain. I went to the hospital. I’m on my 3rd day of anti dependents and panic attack meds. I thank God and know he is the ultimate healer and meds are just tools. I’m so happy I don’t have to suffer on my own.
@keven how are you doing ?
Iam too scared to start another anti depressant after my 1st experience on Lexapro 😑
@@orenokikon8805 get some Sertraline, start low on 25mg and build up to 50mg. Don't suffer needlessly with anxiety and depression my friend. It takes a while to get working but it is a very good medicine to restore you old self.
I hope your are doing better
@@orenokikon8805 omg, I can help you with that. I had a terrible experience on lexapro and also as a Christian didnt know if God would be ok with me on them but i stayed in a crisis stabilization center(because of lexapro side effects) and prayed alot and zoloff was given to me by doctors. I am having some side effects but i can see hope on the other side. Dont give up!!! I have only been on it two weeks. I gave everything up to God and think this is where he has lead.
I am also a Christian with a horrible experience with Lexapro. I was recommended by my therapist to take medicine for my severe anxiety
Does anyone here has /had focus issues due to anxiety? Where u can't focus on studying or anything else at all.
Oh yeah when I get my anxiety I can’t have a normal conversation with anyone because I can’t focus on what we’re talking about and then I basically either tell them I’m nervous and I can’t talk rn or I tough it out and try to calm down in an unnoticeable way
YES THATS MY BIGGEST PROBLEM
I feel it’s preventing me from working it my career.. it sucks and hopefully a call to my docs today can get me medication of sorts.. 10 years of off and on anguish
anxiety kills every single thing my dear
Yes
I NEVER realized just how debilitating PTSD anxiety and panic attacks were. This medication has saved my freaking life y'all. I was dead set AGAINST MEDS at first but I got to the point I was REALLY really bad.
so happy that it's working so good for you! it really is a life saver :) i wouldn't have had the confidence and time to work on myself these past years if it wasn't for the medication
Me too. I really don't want this anymore
@@ItsIndiraChannelHi, Does this Medication work for Depression as well? Or Just Anxiety?? Does your Brain feel Happy when you take it? I’m considering taking it??
@@ItsIndiraChannelhi are you recovered❤

Thank you Indira for sharing your story and experience. I wish you the very best
thank you for the kind comment!
Thanks for the informative video without judgement and speaking calmly and clearly, it really helps, this is my second week of Zoloft , I find it has a calming effect that lessens the chance of having a panic attack I guess, previously was on Lexapro but lived through some pretty terrifying alcohol/drug induced panic attacks. Gladly I am in a better space, and I find it helps me cope through long shifts at work where customer interaction and communication happens. Thankyou for the kindness and wishing wellness and healing upon all who read this 👐🙏namaste and love to all. ❤️🤗
awwww i'm so glad this video spoke to you!! happy you are doing well and namaste to you as well 💚
@@ItsIndiraChannel thankyou , bit of a change as I've recently switched to Prozac for the better of my mood and mental health but getting through the days easier and work is well, thankyou again 💙🤍
you explained eveything so well, thank you so much for this video your helping so many people
Great story glad to here someone who I feel I can relate too . I totally get the thing you said about breathing it angers me when people tell u can you just try to breathe they clearly don't understand.
I started suffering panic attacks when I was 14 years old,I'm 42 now and I take medication for bipolar and physchoisis,the medication really helps me.Thank you for your great video,I hope your feeling better soon.Loving your video's....

Hello video was very helpfulI'm going to talk to a doctor on the 8th I scheduled an appointment and most likely I'm going to be prescribed on some medication I'm not sure what kind the basically I have anxiety I worry for no reason I feel anxious for no reason and it's hard for me to be in social settings I've been going through this for a living years now it has truly changed my life. I was just wondering if you can in detail how it made you feel you probably answer this question.
Good video. I'm 8 weeks on zoloft and it's fantastic. Life changing
That’s so great to hear! Congrats
how much mg do you take?
Well put over . I’m on day 14 and life is better, it took most of this time to adjust to my body and the Meds but worth persevering with them. ☺️❤️
What are you taking? Do you have panic attacks?
@@danielhateley8290 I have now settled on 50mg, during my life I have suffered panic attacks and I'm not sure they helped there. With age and knowledge I now am pretty aware of what will set me off, and will avoid the situation. Life is not perfect but sure is more manageable with the 50mg, for me, anyway.
@@Iamlynie1 50mg of what m8? X cheers
@@danielhateley8290 50mg of sertraline a day 😉
@@Iamlynie1 does medication help a bit?
I had a similar situation to yours, my Dr put me on sertraline as well. Unfortunately it made me so nauseous I couldn’t tolerate it for more than 3 days.
I remember being anxious and having panic attacks when I was in preschool … all throughout my school years, kids would bully me because I was always anxious, overly hyper and just weird. High school was the worst part of my life. I knew I was different from other people, but I didn’t understand why. I remember my heart beating fast, sweating, hot flashes, not being able to look people in the eyes, and it was so difficult to make friends. When I was around 25, I started to really wonder what it was that I was feeling, and after doing research I realized I had symptoms of anxiety. I don’t remember not ever having anxiety …it has been with me all my life. I have no friends at all. Making friendships is probably one of the hardest things. I’m 33, and finally considering meds.
Try alternate nose breathing for 10 mins everyday.Meds make things worse in the long term
Hey Jennifer how are you doing now?
@@positivelife7961 hi!!! So I got diagnosed with ADHD, which is the cause of the anxiety! I was happy to have answers, and I’m currently on ADHD meds, which are effective but I’m experiencing some negative side effects so I’m looking for other avenues 😞
@@to0effincrazii wow really that is interesting. Which type of anxiety do you get? And what type of medication and side effects do you have? Your brief summary of how ADHD has affected you through your life sounds similar to mine. I'm 29 now and feel I might have ADHD
I feel you, i'm 41,and suffered depression and anxiety since i was a child. Me too, i was against medication, but now I take medication and have a close monitoring with a psychologist and psychiatrist. We have a medical condition, it's not our fault. Please, please, believe me: medication in our case is really helpful, along with therapy and close monitoring. Daily, simple routines help a lot as well to not be overwhelmed by daily chores, etc. Please take an appointment with a good physician that will help you get the help you need and little by little, your life back. I pray you and all of us get better and no longer suffer. 🤲❤️
Hi I have been getting anxiety and social anxiety the past year and finally told my doctor about it cause it was starting to affect my daily life. They prescribed me sertraline and I just started taking it this past week and am already starting to feel better!! So glad I finally told my doctor and anyone else who is having anxiety or anything should do the same!!!
Yay!!!!! That is so awesome that you are feeling much better and that anxiety is not affecting your daily life anymore. I wish you all the best :)
@@ItsIndiraChannel Do you still take the anxiety medicine?? Or are you better now. I’m having anxiety as well
@@itsjen94 I still take 50mg and it's still working well :)
Any update?
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. However, what happens if/when you need to come off the SSRI? It can be really difficult to taper off.
very true it is tough to come off of. Although I don't plan on going off of them for sometime
@@ItsIndiraChannel that's understandable. I've been on an SSRI for 23 years bc I felt good enough on it and so I didnt want to mess with anything. Eventually my system got used to the dosage I was on and so my doctor doubled my dose. That caused a lot of adverse reactions (mania/suicidal ideation). After a couple of years of chasing symptoms, I finally realized it was the SSRI that was causing me so much harm. I finally realized that after so many years, the meds had blunted me emotionally and I had no connection to myself. The meds also blocked me from truly accessing the source of my issues/hurt. I'm now 8 months into tapering and it's my most successful taper yet. It was tough at first but mainly bc I had to educate myself around tapering.
If you ever need help getting off, I recommend Will Hall's "Harm Reduction Guide." It can be difficult to get off of SSRIs but it is possible!
That’s the thing that makes me nervous about medicine because it’s hard to come off of. I’ve been trying non-medicine coping strategies, but it’s not working and I need solutions to eliminate or significantly reduce this anxiety because it is impacting me on a daily basis in MANY ways!
Thanks for the video. Sounds like we've had very similar experiences with panic attacks at university.
of course! and keep on trekking on my friend, I promise it gets better :)
I’ve lived with anxiety all my childhood, peaked in middle school and the beginning of high school, couldn’t talk at all and public speaking was something I couldn’t do at all without panicking, it wasn’t until now, I’m 17 about to be a senior, that I’m going to start taking medication and I’m scared but also hoping that this will help the constant anxiety I feel every day and in public. And yea I also didn’t know you could take medication for anxiety Until very recently.Thank you for sharing your story I feel a little relieved after watching this and good luck with your anxiety as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope you’ve been doing good! We got this, hopefully all is well.
Whats up ? I’m 17 too pls may you tell us your experience if you take it 💖 wish you all the best
@@whichwitchswitchedtheswiss ok so it’s been two months.. I switched from my medication which was Zoloft to Prozac, because Zoloft wasn’t doing anything for me after the 4-6 weeks of taking it. I’m still at the same boat as I was but I’m never gonna stop trying till I find the right medication
How are you feeling now
I'm 13 now and I'm starting highschool this September I started to have clear major social anxiety when I was in 6th grade and I been doing online school for last year and this year and I'm really nervous because it's going to be public and pills crossed my mind so I'll definitely bring this up to my parents. Wish me luck and u too ♡
For the past 8 years, I have been grappling with anxiety and panic attacks, particularly while driving, despite having no previous driving-related issues. I was unable to drive on highways and limited to side roads. However, about 1 and a half months ago, my doctor prescribed sertraline. Since starting the medication, my anxiety and panic attacks have decreased by approximately 30-40%, and I can now drive on highways for about 5-10 minutes. Though it may take some time to fully regain my confidence, I am optimistic that the progress will continue, leading to a full recovery.
Same here, when I have to drive outside my town its just... not gonna happend.. Im still refusing meds idk for how long.
Snap! I haven’t been able to drive on motorways or carriageways for almost a year, It makes things difficult for sure. I gave into medication and I’m on my first week. Hopefully it’s the right choice.
Good luck 🤞🏼
Thanks so much for sharing your experience
Watching people have shared experience makes me instantly cry because it’s such a horrible debilitating thing. I guess I’m feeling the same way now and am considering it. How long after you started taking it did it work?
Thank you so much for this posting. I had crippling Anxiety since my teenage years, I took Benzos as and when needed because thanks God these attacks of like you say 'High Anxiery' were few and far between but they were debilitating. I would never have considered taking meds but my doctor recommended Sertraline, I declined it but I am reconsidering it now. Does it make you gain weight tho?
Thanks for posting your video. You’re awesome.
of course! maybe in the future i will do another update :)
You’re so pretty and brave! Wish you the best 😉
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Thank you. 😊 We tend to accept the stress we have as normal life. it's not. if you're loosing friends, jobs, sleep problems, staying inside too much.... you need help. Anxiety can be chemical and required for a happy life BUT. Sometimes it's your brain telling you something is wrong with your life. Chase happy, not money. Good luck everyone. ❤
awww much love back! and yes we need to listen to our bodies and mind more :) they tell us so much
I’ve been struggling with anxiety my entire life and didnt even realize it. I thought it was just a normal part of life. But now, being 22, anxiety has led to constant panic attacks with no known conscious reason(s), which has made me realize that there has been something wrong the entire time. My dad has severe anxiety and panic attacks and gave me Xanax for when it’s needed. I took some one day and I was mostly calm for that entire day, which made me realize that I have anxiety and panic disorder. Getting through every day feeling normal is near impossible it feels. Regular every day tasks are extremely difficult. Im considering going on medication for it this week to get my life back. I understand the side effects, and the fact that I will probably be on the meds for the rest of my life, and im OK with that if that’s what it takes for me to feel normal again, and have my life back. Thank you for sharing this video.
also 22 making this realization and feeling this way. I hope we find the help and relief we need asap :)
thank you for sharing your message 💚 i totally understand what you're saying especially with about just wanting to feel normal. had the same thoughts too when I realized that having intense anxiety wasn't normal. Let me know how the medication has treated you? hope all is well :)
PLEASE go on medication. Life is short and those of us with this affliction are truly missing out. Once you're on meds and living a "normal" life, you will be so glad you did!
I was diagnosed with GAD and panic attack when I was 22 too, now I'm near 25 and sadly I'm still experiencing GAD, while watching this video it gives me hope to be back with meds 'cause I used to take it before and stopped immediately but now I want to take my wasted time dealing with anxiety
I’m very late to this video, but I’m just hoping someone will find this and could maybe reply. I’ve had anxiety since the beginning of highschool and now I’m 20 years old and 2 years into college, but Covid and quarantine really derailed me. I was isolated and my anxiety just only got worse. Now it’s to the point where I hardly leave the house, and I’m anxious to the point of nausea; where I vomit almost every day and it’s honestly ruining my life. It’s taking away opportunities and just not allowing me to even enjoy leisurely activities. I just need to hear from people that this medication helps and is safe.
I hope you’re okay and well now ❤️
How Long did it take before your start feeling a different? Im at mig thired week on 150 mg, and i dont feel any changes.
Hi have had epilepsy attack once in my life when i was about 23 yrs. I took anti epileptic medicines for about 7 years and stopped. Then i started to experience the tremors and the panic attacks and consulted a psychiatrist. I was given medication for anxiety for 1.5 years. I was completely fine during medication. Once I stopped medicines, then i got panic attacks again. My doctor says that undergoing anxiety medication again is really not good as it will have serious side effects on the mental health at later part of your life. Now he has taught me some relaxation techniques that is kind of subsiding my anxiety. But it will not take you out of panic attacks completely. But will help to deal with it. I recommend too much medication is not good in long run!
Benzodiazepines?
I wrestle d1 in college and take anxiety pills before every match… it got to the point where I would borderline be crying before a match with so much on the line
She said it works great for her Asian patients hahaha goodness gracious. I’m just glad it worked out for you :)
haha yeah but she was right in this case lol
Thanks for this video. I took 1 tablet of that and my anxiety felt worse and felt like i was getting a cold.my friend took it for a month and said made him feel worse.
Though he said he drank a lot of coffee so all that caffeine mixed with sertraline is what did it to him? 🤷♂️
Ive got 3 different meds sitting there but will attempt to get myself together without meds for now. Of no improvement then will probably take either sertraline or venlafaxine.
Any side effects from the sertraline?
Hi, i suffer from severe anxiety and i start getting angry and agitated. I was wondering does setraline really work? I was on it then i stopped taking it and it's just gone worse! xx
To know with absolute certainty if a certain antidepressant medication works for you or doesn't, you have to take it for at least 6 weeks. Not pulling this out of my ass, you can Google this yourself.
Hi! Yes it does work! It might take a while to kick in and you might have to up the dose.
It has literally changed my life. My anxiety diminished signifigantly. I have severe anxiety around public speaking and get really anxious in meetings at work. Now im crushing it at work and Im able to departmentalize work and home so my marriage is also recovering with my husband. I don't know why I waited so long to start medication
@@saramichaud9296 did it give you any side effects at first ?
@@saramichaud9296 do you still on meds?
Setraline made me an amazing person. But the libido issues were too much. Good video.
Wdym?
I heard adding wellbutrin can be added to help with libido
Like you I been an anxiety sufferer for many many years, I had some panic attacks in the past that truly scarred me and made me a social recluse, but, I also hated the idea of being medicated and taking medicines for something I felt I could work out on my own, I have used Xanax, Propranolol on and off, during my last episodes of anxiety I seen a psychiatrist who prescribed Zoloft, and again I am hesitant although I have been taking it and it helps, I hope that I can find a way to be meds free and control my anxiety but if I can't then I will not be abusive to myself and will continue taking the medications as prescribed, the kindest words I heard from my doctor was "Is not your fault", sometimes we can struggle and deny we need the meds, but also sometimes is in our genes, and is not our fault.
very true!! sometimes we cannot control what our bodies do with just meditating and such. I think we all could be a little kinder to ourselves :)
Trauma in early life can cause problems in later life
My synapses is not connecting well causing me to feel down …..should I take the meds ? Thank you
I have severe health anxiety. Since an asthma attack last month I've been convinced that I have a heart and lung problems. I still do excessive breathing. All my test came back normal thats when I was recommended a psychiatrist and she prescribed me zoloft and xanor. Turns out I have depression and general anxiety disorder :(

Same, I also have health anxiety. And ive been told to have Paroxetine for controlling anxiety and regaining my old self! But i am apprehensive to take it too
I just scheduled an appointment to see my primary health doctor about anxiety finally and you just described me in a nutshell
Hello , thanks for sharing ❤️
did the medication effect your school? Your memory , and grades etc
I am afraid to go on medication cause i am scared it will turn me to like a zombie, just numb to everything and I wouldn’t be able to study or do well , i feel nothing that i have as an option satisfies me everything scares me 💔💔
Good question! I have not had anything like that and it makes me pretty focused during work!

How did these effect you before they started to work? Did it worsen panick attacks, anxiety or depression? Please respond!
I didn’t have any of those side effects
What is your dosage?
I’ve always had anxiety but started experiencing severe panic attacks last year. There was one panic attack where I had to call 911 and sit by the door until paramedics came because I was that close to passing out. It affects all aspects of my life at this point. My dr prescribed me this medication. Day 1 starting today. I’m worried about the side effects but I’m going to give it a fair shot.
Hi! Any updates on how the medication is going ?
@@ItsIndiraChannel it didn’t go so well. I’m on buspar now: it directly treats panic disorders and anxiety.
@@librageminilibra update?
Hi did u have physical symptoms like chest pain, lump in the throat sensation, tingling, breathing issues and stomach issues?.... I was dealing with them since 3 months..
It was in the beginning of this month that the lump in my throat sensation got worse and was not going for weeks... I was dying everyday.... I'm on SSRI since 12 days and I feel really really good already.. I'm coming back to living and I'll take them if I need them .... I'm no more ashamed of taking them
Good question! Personally I didn’t have any side effects like that but it depends on the person. You definitely do not want to go cold turkey on this medication. So make sure to take everyday unless instructed differently
Did the lump in your throat feeling go away after meds??
I quit cold turkey (50mg) after 5 weeks on sertraline because I had crying spells and my anxiety came back but it was not a normal anxiety I had constant worry and warm tingling in my stomach and suicidal thoughts came on but now I’m worrying for nothing everyday and feel nervous . Has this happened to you or any one reading this ?? Please I need help I’m lost and confused if I should start it again but a low dose 25mg
There is other antidepressents. Endep?
I quit after 1 dose of 50mg. I started again today at 25mg no way am I going higher. It makes sense to start less.
Hy indira iam ayomi from indonesia, nice to meet you . Thanks for sharing your experience about sertraline.
of course! glad you enjoyed the video :)
Personal question but only because it's a side effect. Did it mess with your libido at all?
haha good question! personally for me it did not effect me
I’m on sentrelene : i’m taking 50 mg but it’s not really working however I have like a tremendous tremendous amount of stress and trauma going on right now. I’m curious how many milligrams are you taking? I don’t know what to do I gain weight from it and so I don’t want to take more but I’m wondering if I should go up to 75 but again I know that it doesn’t fix everything like I am have a lot of trauma from the pandemic I may lose my apartment I am still looking for work I was a victim of unemployment fraud I mean I can go on and on and on so I’m wondering if it’s just not working because the doctor said that you have such an intense amount of trauma going on and fear and stress I don’t think any medication can really work 100% right now. So I don’t know what to do so I’m curious did they start you out at 25 mg and that’s what worked for you?
Have you continued on this path? I’m curious about an update. When I would get these attacks they are usually when I am home alone or a few times I would get intense anxiety when driving a car on the highway. Very brutal feeling. Clammy, heart pumping, blurry vision, racing thoughts, thoughts of death etc
Good question! I should make an update video
And yes I’m still taking the medication and it’s still working it’s charm
Hey, I can relate to your situation. Have you tried using sertraline? If yes, did it help you? If not, what methods or approaches are you using to overcome these issues? Thank you.
I'm struggling to sleep alot, and have been getting Anxiety alot, today I woke up after 1 hour sleep with the most intense strange scary feeling......I tried to puke the feeling away but no use.

How long did it take for Sertraline/Zoloft to work, too really notice a big difference in your anxiety? I’ve read anywhere from 1-6 weeks. Is that accurate?
Beautiful advice
Could you give any update on what happens if you come off the medication?
Glad u got help. Horrible horrible thing to deal with!
thank you Diane! and yeah it was pretty awful but now it's all good
Did it help with social anxiety?
Thank you, this is helpful.
💚💚💚💚 of course!
Trauma from my childhood and a headinjuru has led to anxiety. I tried to deal with it myself. I'm almost 30 now and I can't deal with it anymore. Took my first 50mg today. I'm hopeful that things will get better.
I hope it helps. I am going to the Dr in a few days and hopefully they can give me something to help. I can't live like this everyday.
Any updates? How did it work?

@@aimenhayat1743 oh thank u i feel a little better now😊
I am74 and have had anxiety for six months and I am now taking sertraline at 100 mg. Not perfect but it helps a lot. Everyone is different and has different effectiveness. The phrase almost passed out feeling was something I can relate to..
Yeah it’s not a good feeling but I’m glad that you are on the right track :)
thanks ..
@@johnmarshall448 are you still on meds?
I just got my meds hope they work for me. Do you drink alcohol? My question is do I not take this medication when I want to drink that day or take it anyway??
Any update?
Did it stop or at least slow down obsessive thoughts?
yes! it basically stopped them :)
Hello Indira, do we need to take medication through out the life
Hi good question! I would ask your doctor about that :)
I used to have hot flashes and blushing like it was crazy thsi changed me too
Girl, I soooo get it! Watch Dr. Harry Barry. He’s a life saver!
will def have to check him out :)
I am suffering from anxiety and panic attack s too... Frm 2 mnts.... Dctr suggested me medication....but i am scered....should i take this??
After going through a traumatic breakup 5 years ago. My anxiety afterwards never went away. Almost feels like my blood is poisoned. I fell heavy into drinking because that's the only thing that temporarily relieved it. But it always made things worse down the road. Interactions with my ex would cause dry heaving or gagging m chronic coughing. N laying in bed I have high heart rate. Hollow stomach. N like my veins feel hyper . N my breathing. Every breath feels like a sigh.
I have never gone on anything. But I just can't take it anymore
So sorry to hear of your difficulties. It would appear that the authorities in charge of publci health and medical science do not have our best interets in mind. They are exploiting disease mechanisms so as to drive us all into horrible states of mind and for most of us life itself poses a terrible challenge, the issue of finding the will to live itself a moment by moment struggle. best of luck to you, N.

Did your anxiety heighten your first month taking it?
good question and for me it did not
So you can be prescribed anxiety meds from a regular doctor?
Yes you need to visit your doctor and then they will prescribe you the medication
Its Indira nice to know! I thought it was more complicated than that, thanks for the info
Of course!
@@christinaaguilar1483 it's very easy, especially if you go private
@@christinaaguilar1483 Avoid Benzos which are habit forming. There is a solution to every problem if there is a desire and determination. . For a relaxed life without anxiety and depression sit on a chair, back and spine erect, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your inhalation-exhalation breathing and body sensations for around 10-15 minutes. What is important is to be as still as possible. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce or vanish slowly. The mind is reprogrammed to develop your mental muscles. Do twice daily or as per your convenience.

i have social anxiety and panic attacks at the store so I have to take my anxiety meds it so hard for me so try to claim down my sister help me try to pray for me I know try to be strong person I can be 😔😇
I have generalised anxiety disorder, can I take modafinil?
Mushrooms saved my life Hit up @adam_shrooms on Instagram...He sells psychedelics discreetly. He got shrooms,Dmt,Lsd,dope asf💀🍄
Are you still taking it ? And how do you feel now ?
Yes! I am still taking it and it has still been helping me a year later.
@@ItsIndiraChannel when will you stop talking?
But what the hell are we supposed to do if you suffer extremely 24/7 with severe mental illnesses and trauma and have tried everything but don’t get better + you have a wierd sleeping disorder.. I can’t bare the thought of becoming impotent(and I already suffer with my sexuality and sex ability), emotionally numb/like a robot and sleeping issue/suffering gets worse? What can I do, I don’t want to go back to Prozac but my severe 24/7 mental illnesses is killing me. And nothing is working.. I don’t thing science have come up with a solution other than these “meds”..
Try enrolling in troriluzole trials, I don't know much about it other than it targeting another neurotransmitter, maybe with other meds U will find a bit of relaxation, my prayers for U 🙏
Try psychedelic therapy
Save my life as well! Hundred percent
I've been taking medication since 7 months now....I'm preety much good now...not cured totally but I feel better
My fear about going on these meds is that it would take away my personality and leave me like a zombie with no emotions . Did this happen to you ? Also what do you think would be better for agoraphobia , benzos or ssris ..?
Thank you ..
It didn’t take away emotion for me personally. But in the very beginning I wasn’t able to cry but that goes away after a few weeks.

It does, and kills your genitals and sexuality. My anxieties are severe to the extreme 24/7+ other mental suffering but I refuse to take these pills and don’t know what the solution is. I don’t think modern medicine have found a cure, not a damn thing helps.. + I have a wierd sleeping disorder.
How are you doing now? Are you getting better?
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn't take my life when i was at my end . I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression , I'm doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again .
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life . I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body . A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken . One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot . It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine , this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip : Everything is alright . The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me ( although it's not gone ) . Before all I could do was lay in bed . Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before . "
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety because of university.

Do you mind me asking if it made you hungrier/gain weight? x
Good question! For the first couple of weeks it made me actually eat less and then after, my appetite went back to normal.
And it did not make me gain weight.
