So sorry to hear all this. You're in my prayers.

Thank you for keeping yourself safe. Your friends are grateful :).

Anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand so tightly that it can be hard to separate them, and anxiety can certainly give way to depression.

St. John's Wort, IMHO, is often better for mild depression or malaise, and often doesn't do enough for more severe, persistent, or pronounced forms of depression. The trade-off is that it typically doesn't have the side-effects people report when taking other, stronger medications.

I'm sorry you're having to grapple with brain-juice roulette, but I admire your courage, resilience, and persistence in continuing to fight the good fight.

I know exactly what you are going through. I am bi-polar and have suffered from severe depression for most of my life. I have overdosed on pills once and tried to cut my wrists several times. I was also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. About 5 years ago, I finally found a pill to help. My bi-polar is now completely under control. And thanks to therapy and EMDR I haven't had an anxiety attack in nearly five year. So I highly recommend therapy and maybe you should look into EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). Whatever happens, I wish you luck and will be praying.

ohh Hun. **hugs** Please do not hesitate to talk to me if you feel that way again. I am glad you went to the ER though. All of us here care about you and want you to be happy and safe.
You know I suffer from OCD and anxiety, so please contact me anytime if you want to just talk, catch up , vent. If you note me here or on FB I will give you my Skype and phone number as well so you will always be able to get me if you need. **hugs tight**. We miss you down here.

Anxiety and depression are demons and can be booted without the use of any pills. Don't you know that we have power in the name of Jesus? What is your faith in more? Jesus or pills? Command both the depression and anxiety spirit to leave in jesus name! Don't let those sorry devils grab hold of you! Kick um out with the power given to you by the holy spirit! They only have as much power over you as you allow them. By believiing they're lies and accepting their deceit over God's truth, you give them the ok to torment you. If you believe gods truth over their lies, then they are completely powerless. Walking as a Christian isn't a game. Its a daily battle Against the evil one. Put on the full armor of God and destroy the enemy with the Sword of the Spirit! Crush them in Jesus name! Believe and have faith that he will and he most certainly will. Jesus operates on our faith in him and his abilities. His abilities are limitless! Nothing is impossible with him!

Pray this: Lord forgive me of my sins, I repent and renounce of them. I renounce and reject the enemies lies and believe and accept your trurh. (This breaks any ties the enemy might have on you with them) I ask you jesus that you would restore to me what the enemy has stolen. My peace joy and truth.
I command that the spirits of depression and anxiety leave me in Jesus name! You have no power, right, or authority over me and you have to leave! You are a trespasser and a thief and I command, with the authority given to me by jesus Christ, to leave now in jesus name!
Thank you jesus. I have faith and believe that what I asked of you wil be and has been done. I accept it.

A little lengthy, but powerful. Pray this and believe it's done and you'll be fine.
Now, although it is possible, it may not spontaneously work. Just keep praying and believing this and they'll leave. Demons are stubborn and don't like being ordered in jesus name. But they have no choice but to listen if you speak in that name. There's power and authority in it and they must listen to it. They're like very bratty kids who are stubborn and don't like being told what to do but will do it anyway crying and throwing a fit haha. They're powerless! Useles! They can't do anything but lie to People and hope they listen. But they're good at it. They've had lots of practice and know everything that man would fall for. Ever since satan was kicked out of heaven and lied and tempted Eve. So he's got the knowledge about what we would fall for.

Haha anyways.. rambling on.. all of this to say: We have power in the name of jesus over the enemy. Use it! :)

no, just, no. Would you tell someone to pray away a severed artery? brain diseases have a biological root. don't start putting Ian's faith into question also.

A severed artery is different than anxieties and depression.
Are you saying Ian has a brain disease? You can pray that away too. Nothing is impossible for God.
I assume you don't believe, otherwise you wouldn't doubt Gods power. If that's the case then I'm done talking to you. I don't want his page getting cluttered with "religious" arguments that will lead nowhere.
Have a good day.

This ridiculous doctrine that physical and mental ailments are demons playing with you is one (of a few) reasons I tried to kill myself. As a kid, I had the strongest faith out of everyone I knew; and I was only ever around Christians, so I'm comparing myself to a lot. So when I couldn't "defeat the demon" that was teasing me, I tried to die through overdose. Now. I look back at that train of thought with embarrassment - some ridiculous little myth almost did me in!

I know! This line of thinking *literally kills people* so I couldn't just let it sit there unchallenged. I'm not interested in a religious debate, tho'.

I am so sorry to hear that, dude. Good on you for seeking help. Keep at it. You can beat this.

Sounds like anxiety to me. I know how you feel! I recommend a book. It's called "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes. You can get it really cheap on Amazon. It helped me a lot in overcoming my anxiety attacks. After I read it, my attacks are now few and far in-between. I have gone years without one now!

Glad you are OK. If you need someone to talk to you know were to find me.

St. Johns wort appears to be a more nutritional approach which means it takes longer to build up in the body and have an affect.
Please take care and I will maintain positive energy thoughts for you.

In the meantime; you may be interested to learn more about nutritional healing.
I found this documentary film to be very interesting and is still available on netflix-

PS: Suppressing fear results in panic.

I am so, so sorry man. Unfortunately brain juice roulette is really that only way of finding a med that works for you. It's what psychiatrists have to do. Stay strong.

*sighs and hugs ya* I will pray for you. If need to talk I'm here for ya.

Having someone to talk to may do more good than any pill. However, if you can find the right medication, it can really help. It still sucks when you're looking for the appropriate method of coping. Just remember that you have people who love you a lot and want to see you happy.

Ian, I am glad that you took action to seek a counselor and didn't do anything extreme the would put you there for all the wrong reasons. I will be praying for you! I hope that you will take up that book that Nick mentioned, he speaks the truth.

I'm sure you've heard that faith is the enemy of anxiety and worry; that life takes 100% action and 100% faith; and that they are interconnected. You are keenly aware of what you need to do in this life. Pray for autonomy, not the kind that is reaction to anything that happens, that's just following reason and rules. Pray for God to surprise you with a situation you hadn't recognized His guidance in. There is confidence in knowing that in even the little things like sustenance for bird fowl, that God will surely provide for you. Let life get difficult and God is still there.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
I will pray for you!
