I Battle Depression and Anxiety

I Finally Did Something About It

By: CelestialBeginnings
Written on October 22nd, 2009

I have always had a passion for alternative spirituality and alternative medicine.  My past is.... "dark" and let's leave it at that.  On account of this, I have been battling panic and anxiety attacks from a very young age.  For years I was both compelled and volunteered for many modern solutions for this problem.  I finally got fed up with high bills from quacks who looked at me like I was some kind of puzzle or specimen in a petri dish and did something about it.

Many of my friends come to me and ask me, what can I do for this, what do I need for that in relation to problems they or their families experience.  Cuts and nicks from scrapped knees to asthma.  A light bulb went off in my head, if I am helping others all the time with what I know... why the heck have I not been doing it for myself?

So I did some research on my condition vs. the most effective modern medication  for me (Xanax) and created my own herbal solution.  I have found it so effective for my moderate anxiety attacks that I take it everyday.  This has greatly helped relieve my stress levels (moderate stress can trigger one of my attacks) and has given me a sense of contentment.

I just share my story for those of you in a "dark" place.... the light WILL eventually come on for you to....

    I have found Aromatherapy to be helpful in preventing the stress buildup required for an attack. Energizing and stress relieving scents like Bergamot (energizing) and Lavender (relaxation) help me tremendously.



    Hypnotherapy has helped me so much that I went and got my clinical certification in hypnotherapy. Talk with a couple of your local practitioner's and see if it is something that could benefit you as well. I'm willing to bet money that you will find some aspect in your life that hypnotherapy can assist with.



    "Talking" about my problems has never helped because I'm just not that kind of person. However, it does help others that I know who need to "talk"... I'm usually the one listening, I'll listen all day and put my two cents worth in... just don't expect me to "open up". Won't happen, I'm not wired that way.



    Then finally, if you turn to herbology, all you have to do is research your condition and find the best combination of herbs/spices for that condition. Either in capsule form like I did, or loose leaf for teas/tinctures. I could do a research request if you like but I charge a small fee for my time away from the twins.



    Hope this helps!!!

    What alternatives have you tried? Right I've been considering taking medication, however I'll only take it if things don't progress, lol. Thanks :)
