Have any of you guys recovered from depression and or anxiety issues?

Have any of you guys recovered from depression and or anxiety issues?

Not if they still post here

Not fully recovered but I'd like to think I can control it better?

for a little when i talked to this one girl. after it was worse than ever before

recovery is a meme

I feel a lot better than I used to. Lexapro Wellbutrin and Abilify have helped me along quite a bit, but also therapy once every couple weeks gives me a place to vent a little.

I want to be edgy but I don't think I am capable right now. I'm tired, I'm not sad, I just want to die but I cannot an hero. This is fucking pathetic.

Yeah.... Its called stop being a fag.

Oh yeah, and Xanax for spikes in anxiety.

You don't 'recover', you find ways to deal with it.

Yes eat better,work out and get a job.
The job may bring it back a little but you'll be ok.

I was an emotional wreck and very destructive to all of my relationships because of OCD and depression. I started taking Zoloft and I'm nearly 100%. Making friends, now in a very stable romantic relationship. Also I've been experimenting with LSD and shrooms and smoking pot everyday. Life is good.

Nothing worked until my third doctor put me on Wellbutrin and depakote. I was 45. I'm totally different now.

I hated the Depakote ER just because of how many pills a day I had to take.

suicide is the only cured

Or is there any way without drugs?

Meditation and exercise

You can learn to cope without it, however if you have a chemical imbalance in your brain that may be more difficult

Working out does help, but honestly as bad as you say you are I would go consult a psychiatrist.

no

I try doing yoga once a day for about half an hour or less that enough?
I'm pretty fucked but if I went on medication it would just make me feel even more weak and vulnerable
I'm seeing a therapist tomorrow

Not for me. Eating "clean" (reads: cutting out sugar and processed shit) and getting exercise helped a little but it wasn't a cure-all. I would still spiral into suicidal fits.

This

I'll gladly suck down 4 large pills a day if it means I don't live in the misery that I was in.

I know the meds sounds shitty but after you see the difference they make you won't believe how far they will take you towards normalish again.

Yeah I used to have what I called 'black spells' where I'd be driving to work and just feel this overwhelming sense of dread and misery wash over me. Wife made me go to doctor, and I got a scrip for Prozac. Took it for about six months. Maybe more like five. Stopped taking it. Felt fine. This was around 2012.

Very much so
I'm tied here by responsibility, while I am selfish natured, I'm not so much so that I'll leave my dependants.
I miss doing drugs life was great then.

It depends. Mild depression? Sure you might be able to handle it. But actual clinical depression when you barely can function or can't at all? Not really.

That sucks I also need to gain weight
I just wouldn't want prescribed medication being on my record, I want to be a mental health nurse and that could fuvk up job opportunity also are meds not all that bad?

I felt the same way about the meds until I took them and now I feel like I used to, Happy outgoing and attending school in the fall.

Also, sleep is actually very important, but diet? Not so much.

It fluctuates for me, most days I'd say I'm able to function but motivation is at a critical low and some days I can't get out of bed or eat

No, but kratom and cannabis are about as good as anything I've had a doctor prescribe. At least I know what I'm putting in my body is natural. Fuck SSRI's

No

I have recovered once from my schizophrenia

Degenerate druggie take a hike

I might consider trying them then, anyway I need to sleep now because my eyes are stinging like hell and I don't want to ruin my sleeping pattern. Feel better user, know that someone out there cares even if its a fag from Sup Forums
not interested in drugs

Then you can't get a worthwhile job because they all drug test.

...

The thing is this only started 8 months ago basically I had a panic attack and the anxiety just didn't go away my brain was fucking spinning, after a few months of insane anxiety the depression came. I don't even feel human any more. This is the strangest shit I've ever gone through. I also have music stuck in my head 24/7 not a hullucination though.

I recovered, green text for brevity.
>depressed sack of shit
>social anxiety
>start smoking weed, stop drinking
>mood steadily improves
>have a psychotic lapse, go into the mental ward
>get new meds
>on the whole pretty balanced today

I got an injection tomorrow, keeps me steady. No more social anxiety and my depression is a lot less than what it used to be. Weed and the meds help, as well as eating a more balanced diet.

This.

Just embrace it, it's the only thing you can do nowadays. It helps that depression/anxiety is a meme now, you can tell people you're depressed, they'll laugh and boom you got a new friend. Kind of ironic, gotta love meme culture.

Yes. put down the prescriptions and get yourself some real drugs. psychedelics. dissociatives. take acid, dmt, and ketamine. start making subtle changes in your lifestyle and diet to become healthier and youll be surprised how fast you start to feel happier. drink less soda, avoid fried foods, drink more water etc. meditate, get in a routine of doing it daily. also if you arent exercising in at least some form more than once a week start. go outside too

For me it started a year ago. When the panic attacks came I thought I was being possessed by a demon. I even had a dream where I was being exorcised and I slit my arm with a cross. I wouldn't be able to sleep, I literally felt like I was losing control. The first time it happened my room smelled like blood but my mom didnt smell it so I think I was hallucinating. I was going crazy, I used to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes to check my back for scratches, I was praying every 10 minutes, I felt fear every single second of every day. I started flinching at crosses due to that dream and I was scared for a bit because of this. I was literally going insane, every little noise in the room startled me, I was always on edge. I don't even know how I got through this but a year later and for the most part I'm fine now. The whole experience kind of left me traumatized, but I thank God I pulled through it. It was actual hell.

In short yes, you'll eventually leave it behind. Anxiety and depression lasts as long as you make it last, you got to confront both of them. Don't let them control you, you have the power to control them. At the end of the day they're just emotions. My bad if I wrote a fucking book but I just wanted to get this shit off my chest.
