I am not for taking mind controlling drugs from he doctor but i do no that it is the easy option. I have distanced myself from friends. this has all occured from a chain of terrible events which has happened in my life. i have just started to take st johns wart in ticture. i used to go to psychotherapie a few years back but my therapist left to forfill something else. but i then i was raped nearly 3 years ago. and now i have 1 1/2 yrs old son. i wont go to the doctor as all i was offerd was coucilling in the past and i feel im beyond that! also if these ID cards go through in england then i do not want my medical history to be on this card. i am not in a finacial situation to pay £35 a time for therapy and im not sure what else i can do! i just want to be in cntact with someone who may be able to help. my son is the only positive thing in my life. actually i have taken up yoga again and feel thats its a good move. i just feel a constant low tone! anything anyone says will be a help! hi, i have diagnosed myself with dysthmia.

]]> Comment on Why Personal Development Does Not Help Us Overcome Depression by Peter Holland http://frayingedges.com/2008/06/why-personal-development-does-not-help-us-overcome-depression/#comment-8472 Peter Holland Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:10:39 +0000 http://frayingedges.com/?p=31#comment-8472 I would agree, personal development is unlikely to cure depression, but as you observe for people who have overcome this dreadful curse access to very positive people & influences can be a wonderful experience. With the web now access to wonderful learning and roll models has never been easier. Has there ever been a better time for self enrichment on whatever level?

]]> Comment on How To Cope When Your Loved One Is Depressed by Ben http://frayingedges.com/2008/08/how-to-cope-when-your-loved-one-is-depressed/#comment-6842 Ben Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:11:15 +0000 http://frayingedges.com/?p=55#comment-6842 Hi all, I have been dating a wonderful, full-of-life 25 year old woman for a year and a half. Our time has been beyond description - its 99 % great! She told me that she had suffered from depression in the past, and still took some medications for it (and anxiety-related problems) but I never ficsued much in it because everything was so good between us. In June of this year, right after returing from a trip to South America everything changed. It started as her needing "a break" and "some time" to reflect on her life. It then became a situation where she became so distant, so fast that I honestly COULD NOT imagine what was going on in her head. Over the course of the summer, it became clear to me based on our conversations that she is suffering seriously from depression. It was as if it had been dormant, then out of nowhere it jumped up and took over her every waking moment. It's still hard to imagine how that happens. Anyway, I have pushed and pushed for her to get back for treatment with a professional. She recently moved and does not have a doctor in her new area. We researched a few and she promises that she will make an appointment soon. From my end, HER depression is taking a great toll on me. Her selfishness (or thats how I perceive it), lack on consistentcy, inability to love how she used to.....its getting harder by the day for me. It's like a million little rejections, one after the other. I sometimes feel guilty for feeling this way, as I know that she feels tortured and confused right now. I keep promising her that I will stay by her side through this....but how long can I do that? It's hard on me too. Any thoughts? Hi all,

I am taking Xanax for ages and it has been very habit-forming to me, and I'm heavily rely on medication! I'm searching for other option anxiety relief system which will help me gain total cure. I saw many people have great result with natural online panic treatment, I speculate if these sort of treatment truly do works? Few days ago, I stumble upon this website - <a href="http://www.anxiety-depression-panic.info" rel="nofollow">Relief Anxiety</a>, and I do not know if this is what I'm searching for. It introduced 3 online programs that I not heard about, I wonder if any person had any experience? Should I continue to take medicine or try alternative therapy? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...!

Nine months ago I was diagnosed with pyroluria. It is a genetic defect that causes leaching of zinc and vitamin B6 from the body and leads to neurological disorders. I cannot describe the relief I felt to finally find out. Recovery is slow(i was advised 1yr) but really happening for me .Pfeiffer Research Institute diagnose and treat and the treatment is nutrients only. zania, I had many yrs of severe stress and exhaustion.
