Overcoming Anxiety safely...

I keep meeting people so often who speak of their depression, drug dependency (legal medication) and their desire to get out of the dependency on the medication. It almost seems like taking medication depresses them more than their depression, or the unresolved issues that lead them to a doctor's office who prescribed the medication, as a last resort.
It breaks my heart when I see people so lost and feeling so helpless. Yesterday I heard of a man who swallowed a jar of Advil pills to end his existence. Now he is a mental asylum and has an impending case of him for attempted suicide. So he comes out of a hospital to be taken to jail.It tears me apart to know that when there is so much love, beauty and abundance in the life, in this world, and then there are some who find it hard to see and experience all this love and beauty.
We can always go back to finding the cause of why some suffer in their pain, and some march on. As a sub-conscious behaviorist I know that it all begins with low-esteem which was embedded into us by our primary caregivers and environment created by family, friends, well wishers, school system, extended family, the religions and news. To me the only thing that ever gives hope is movies where there is poetic justice and the victory of good over evil, where the underdog does rise and shine. Each of us identify with the hero who is battered through life to become the champion in the end, and lead his tribe to ever lasting joy.
Why is it some get inspired, and others just toss it aside as another tale? Children are born with no concept of fear. They trust their caregivers with everything for all their needs but what happens over time? Fear is an acquired habit, which intensifies with time. Modern day meta-physicists and conscious seekers are working on growing their own tribe where we can experience more love, have more options and create our reality by getting closer to the truth, as it exists, oneness, love!
But where does the person who is now in the clutches of the medication and feeling worse because someone told them that medications make it worse go? What are their options? Is it a downward spiraling journey?
I would love to believe that through education, and media exposure, and everyone doing their part allows each of us to believe that we have to reach out before we take the drug. Stop the blame game and take responsibility. Everyday people need to know that there are those out there who can help them without the medication.
The insurance companies should focus on getting their clients healthy and keeping them healthy. The focus should not be focussed on pumping more drugs into a drugged up nation. The doctors and I know many of them who practice holistic approaches themselves but would not recommend it to a client, since the insurance will not cover it. People are left to the dictates of the insurance companies and pharmaceutical industries. This is unfair, when the citizens of the land of the free and home of the brave, are being hit below the belt and left with no choices.
In conclusion all I will say is .... God bless America! and May God bless my beloved Americans!

Unfortunately - and believe me, I dont feel good starting an email with a negative word - the US today is having such a major shift of conciousness that everything is so topsy turvy - those who think they "deserve" and are entitled versus those who work hard to earn their keep. Those with their hands out - and those putting out their hands - are at loggerheads! I truly believe this Country does have some responsibility to its fellow countrymen but I do not believe that the current reform as proposed will help anyone - it is too facist in it's current form - and the fear the government is spreading to people is nearly insurmountable at times. We hear on TV/Radio all day long what bad shape the economy is in, how bad it is out there - and this fear is spreading! When instead today we need to focus on our blessings and all we have to be grateful for, instead our President and others are telling us how bad it is out there, how we are entitled to handouts, we deserve........yet, we are forgetting what this country was founded on, we are forgetting how good it is for the soul to work and earn an honest wage, we are forgetting our purpose and focusing instead on all that we dont have.....and the messages are getting dirtier, messier, angrier - and that then imbues itself throughout our people, and our fellow man is then further spreading his disbelief, his grief, his lack - and we thus become a people of lack - which then leads to depression, dependency and all sorts of other negatives. IF we would teach each other a few basics - basically start anew and remember all that we have, what we are here for, the global conciousness will resume. It is my fervent belief that once embraced, healthcare will be a thing of the past, we will be empowered to heal ourselves and others, to lay waste to the anger and frustration, thus opening our hearts to each other - to the oneness that our Creator wishes upon us all.

I don't know much about antidepressant drugs and addictions, as I've never been a victim of this so I won't comment on that; however I will say that true happiness comes from within, it begins with kinetics. People need to be in constant motion. Constantly seeking, constantly learning, constantly curious...curiosity will lead you somewhere you may or may not like, move on if the latter. Through curiosity, if you find something that makes you happy, you'll keep coming back to it. Nurture it, attend to it, let it sustain, let it grow. Find other things in life that make you happy and repeat the process and when you do it, do it whole-heartedly and always do your best. It can be anything from learning to dance, learning a new language, doing volunteer work, learning to play an instrument, etc. The more you do will give you a sense of accomplishment, which will leave you wanting more and it'll make you feel good doing it. To sustain that 'feel good' mood you'll keep wanting to do more and more, which in the end is a healthy addition to LIFE! That's happiness.

Grace: for all the solutions you provided to those who might be sorrowful. what you suggest is also preventative, and everyone can do it everyday. doing a little bit, counts.

I have had the experience of being depressed due to certain foods that my body would not digest properly. I believe that they became toxic and my blood carried this to my brain. The gut and the brain are intimately connected. When I avoided this my depression cleared up. Other things can help, like exercise, vitamins, raw food, juices, laughter, singing, other creative activities and last but not least, all in the context of love can heal faster! Try it!

It is our sadness to what is happening to people so fast in real life with jobs,housing & health & hatred towards people in responsible position. Greed & selfishness lead us to this. If one is happy making life working hard,take pride,share what you have with others, kind to needy,give strengh to weak,to feel happy & content with we have & what we can offer. learn to love one & all.
