Hey,

I wanted to hear from any people out their. That choose this route when trying to overcome anxiety. I am always hearing about medications and although I have taken them in the past they just didnt make me feel right. I dont like the idea of having to have something just to get me through anxiety. I don't know thats just me. I could understand if I was anxious 24/7 and just needed some relief but I am not. I just wanted to hear from people that chose not to go down the med lane.

Hi Eddie,i have been on meds off and on them,the definitly relieved the anxiety,But i also felt like a zombie with no emotions,and mix alittle alcohol with it and i was out of control i would say meds are not the long term solution,nor is alcohol

Hi. I choose not to take drugs. I never tried any for anxiety or depresion. I'm doing fine now that I have compleated this program. I study a lot of books to help me get through hurdles and situations that cause sadness and anxiety. I just read a book on people skills to help me be more assertive with people at work. I was just to submisive and would allow one indavisule to verbaly abuse me, which was causing unhapiness to take over my feelings. I am so glad that this book gives me answers to handle this nonsence from this pushey indavisule. Some people are bullies even at an adult age and if they value me as a no value person then I have no reason to value there frendship. I decided to not speek to that person and if he continues his abuse I will warn him that I will turn him in for it. If he continues after that, I will turn him in. The company I work for doesn't tolerate herassment. I will do everyone a favor by standing up to him the only way I can without being drawn into mudslinging back and forth which never ends with those type of people. That is how I will handle this problem instead of taking druggs for my sadness. I am not sad about this because I have learned how to deal with this problem. Druggs may make the sadness and pain go away with some side affects.There are no side effects to this cure. You mess with me and you loose, mebey even your job. This is a way to handle it without me loosing my job by fighting over it or even being drawn into name calling which I could get in trouble about, and not only that, that is just to stressfull. I mentioned this book in the book club. There are answers out there if we look hard enough. I do believe that everyone is differnt and some do need medication for depresion. There could be a chemical balance that needs corecting.
