Do you have diagnosed anxiety or depression?

Question

If so, how do you deal with your everyday struggles? It can be hard to function without getting knocked out from fear or stress. I personally am struggling and am looking into medication now.

Answer

Both, therapist confirmed I have asthma due to stress/anxiety. Doctors over the year told me I had perfect lungs and was all in my head. It’s very real and although it may seem not as serious, a breathing attack brought on by stress has been something I suffer with for many years

Answer

I’ve been taking meds everyday for the last 8 years. It Also helps me to schedule a “day of rest and relaxation” once every week or every other week. It’s a whole day where I don’t have anything to do. I can sit and do nothing and not worry about anything all day. It also helps to write in a journal and talk to a therapist

Answer

I was mostly functional without medication for many years with the exception of extreme suicidal ideation that would become extremely intense with no warning. It was exhausting. For me medication was the way to go! 
But I also did/do things that help besides meds: taking walks every day, sleeping a full 8 hours every day, gratitude journal every day (helps shift your subconscious focus on the positive things), having a system in place where I would take specific steps if I was doing bad, etc

Answer

I use CBD oil
