does anxiety and depression go away

Try getting out in the sun and going for a walk. Get done up and go out. Try to get up and moving and out of the house. Also force yourself to only focus on the positive not the negative. I'm 2 weeks out and these are some things that have helped me. Good luck and hang in there.

To: Dr. My son was murdered in Jan, 2005 and I've since been treated and diagnosed with PTSD - however, I was previously being treated for depression. When I was tested last year the psychologist stated that I had severe depression, with PTSD & severe anxiety and panic disease with possible OCD and maybe some personality disorder.

I'm so sorry to hear of your symptoms; they are indeed very scary. I have had these and still do. I've had a very stressful few months (won't go into it but is was BAD) which culminated in me having what I now know was a severe panic attack. I got very very bad depersonalization and derealization as a result. I was so freaked out and scared that the only thought that kept me going was that I'd kill myself.

did anyone else have the jitters and shakes, if so, when will it go away?

Anxiety and panic can really cause great bouts of depression and loss of self-identity. That is a normal reaction to facing this problem. Have you talked this through with a therapist, (i.e., psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor)? By confronting and learning about, in my experience, you will be the person you used to be only you will enjoy life so much more because of this experience.

When you educate yourself on what anxiety and/or depression (which go hand and hand many times) is and practice and use the techniques that can help, you WILL get better. Don't expect it to go away overnight...but also remember than it will not hurt you.

I am in the same boat.

There can be many reasons why this happens, but the bottom line is, it does and it is up to you to figure out the best way to deal with it. If you first and foremost have anxiety and not depression, you should take a look at what Ryan has to say about benzos. especially Klonopin. Of course it goes without saying that CBT is very important...so, get proactive and keep your chin up. You aren't alone in this, we are here to support you and you WILL get beyond this.

I'm just wondering, does anxiety ever go away? Is it something that can be "cured" or is it something I will always struggle with, maybe more at certain times then others? Has a pandora's box been opened now that I have GAD and will I never be normal, whatever that may mean, again? I'm just confused by the whole thing.

Hi ive been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for going on 2 yrs now and i feel as if there is no end in sight, my heart rate stays at an un normal 115-135 resting and i cant even go to the gym and work out because my heart rate sky rockets to a dangerious 175 if i do anything strinuious im thinking theres some other kind of underlying problem maybe with my thyroids but the doc hasnt checked them she simply told me she didnt know what was wrong with me....

Some get better by finding out they were jittery all the time on edge because of an underlying illness which they either take meds for or it goes away. Others take anxiety medication. Others go to counseling. Others go to a pastor. There a numerous ways people cope and yes, get better. Hang in there. It takes time to figure out what works for you. Did you know that doctors and lawyers and surgeons deal with the same stuff--depression, anxiety, panic attacks.

I went in for cognitive therapy and began taking meds for the depression and anxiety. I have since stopped taking all medications due to them destroying my sex drive. My depression has not returned and I feel fine for the most part. Now I am experiencing symptoms of Depersonalization Disorder. I have delt with these feelings off and on my whole life but lately they are quite severe. I feel as if I am in a fog or watching a movie of my life, detached from reality.

Now it is so bad I can barely type because my hands are so fidgety. My tongue is twitching and my lips too now. Can this be a permanent side effect or does it go away?

I feel like it’s the Sertraline but I don’t know because before I started it I had the week of thoughts but than they left but now 2 weeks in to meds there back. I feel it helped the anxiety but maybe caused some sort of weird depression and it’s making me constantly scared I’m gonna harm myself? I really don’t want to and argue with the thoughts every time I get them but they always come back and I don’t understand and I’m scared of them... any advice?

In my experience, it can be confusing, scary and overwhelming when we first start to go through this. Anxiety and panic definitely has its peaks and valleys and can be very frustrating. Initially, my wife was just as scared and confused as I was but that is a natural reaction to something we do not understand in my opinion. Therapy is expensive, but that was the route that helped me the most, however, have you looked into group therapy?

) so she was then able to absorb nutrients essential for serotonin production. Not only did GERD and LPR go away, so did her severe clinical depression and severe anxiety disorder! An excellent article is from Integrative Psychiatry on Serotonin. Excerpts from the article...

t keep ruminating and testing and asking and wondering and worrying! Everyone has worries and fears. Anxiety to some extent. But when it starts impacting us in such a way that feel we aren't really able to live the life we want? Then it is time to dig deeper for help with it. That sounds to be where you are at. The ways to find a therapist are numerous at this time. You may know someone that sees a therapist that they can recommend.

anyways a year passedand i finally went to the walk in clinic, he told me i had anxiety and depression and put me on flouxetine. it worked at first and ive been taking them for almost 3 months now and thought they were working good. but now for a couple days ive been feeling really down again, harming thoughts, cant sleep good at night and really hard to breath. cant stop yawning caus ethats the best way to get the most air. what is happening? will my mental issues EVER go away?

I started with the symptoms last week and I thought they would go away. My therapist said that my anxiety and depression would get better and I would have peaks and troughs, I guess this is a trough. I don't think the doctors know what to do with me and they are just hoping I come round on my own but this is the hardest time. I think i'll ring my therapist cos I'm a bit stuck in it. What are you doing about your job? Are you on sick pay? Do you think the tablets made you worse?

Im 14 and have been diagnost with severe anxiety and depression. Ive had it for about a year and a half. Ive been on so many different medications and have seen many different counclers and therapists but nothing seems to work. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Every time i walk into or past my school i have a panic attack, and im on lorazepam. most days i cant even get out of bed. People keep telling me its just a teenage thing and ill grow out of it, but when?
