natural remedies for battling anxiety/depression?

Question

I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and depression. During my pregnancy I've kind of had it under control but these last few days I've been extremely overwhelmed, agitated, panicky etc. I can't take cymbalta or Paxil which are my usual meds. Does anyone have any natural treatments ? I'm 37 weeks so I can't take meds.

Answer

Eucalyptus oil

Answer

What about therapy?

Answer

I know this is so cliche... but working out really helps my anxiety. I used to take Lexipro but after a couple years of therapy I weaned off of it. And now when I'm feeling anxious I will work out. I've also noticed that when I'm idol or bored it gets worse.. so i'll do things like cross stitching or clean or something to just get my mind somewhere else

Answer

When I get like that I take a really hot shower and use bath and body Works stress relief Sugar scrub. The smell is really strong, especially to my pregnancy nose lol, mixed with the hot water and steam it's amazing. I just stand there with my eyes closed and take deep breaths. And as an added bonus it makes my skin really soft!
