Q: I Get Depressed,
asked by: insurancegirl on October 22nd, 2003
Extremely eHealthy
Because I worry about work when i'm at home, and about home when i'm at work. Everyone tells me to not think about it, because i'm gonna die from a heart attack or something, but how do I stop, it's just something I do. My chest hurts a lot and I have a hard time breathing everytime I worry about something. I was put on paxil, but they told me to take it at night, so what good does that do.

I need help.

I Get Depressed
I just saw your post about the anxiety and I can associate very well with your. I struggled undiagnosed for 13 years. I now take paxil (75mg per day) also at night. My doctor also prescribes adavan for periodic anxiety attacks that work very well for me. The adavan helps your body to "take it easy" until your thoughts straighten out. Maybe this will help

Anxiety
One thing that helped me is to write in a journal. I still occasionally write, but it is nowhere near the amount I used to. I am much more easy-going and happy now... I've been on prozac and trileptal now for about three months, and I have xanax for emergency anxiety spells (like when I have to go to the dentist, or I had to take my son in for eye surgery).

I also had to change the way I think... That's the hard part - that's the part that requires a professional's help. I still have some worrisome spots, but i'll be okay.

Gotta go now,
good luck.
