Woke up this morning feeling fine. Went and watched the football and had a few pints. Left my mate and headed home and started to get anxious and panic attacks. On the way to the train started getting panic attacks then sweating like mad on the train (there were no seats so i had to stand). Been getting these for years now. Usually worse after i’ve had a few drinks for some reason although when im drunk don’t experience them. Also suffered from depression for years but never been to the doctor. Are these linked?
Basically what i’m asking is does anyone have any tips on how to help the depression/anxiety without going to the doctor? I’m not a fan of being on prescribed drugs. cheers.

Quit looking for short-cuts. If you know that drinking makes it worse, then why are you still drinking?
If you aren’t going to take care of yourself, then there is no need to see a doctor whose instructions you won’t follow.
Stop drinking alcohol for a start. That is if you seriously want help. You can go from there. As long as you continue to drink, you show that you care more about alcohol than being depressed or anxious.
i guess the best thing is to go to a doctor. why don’t you like being prescribed helpful drugs when your constantly engulfing alcohol (a drug)?
this doesn’t have to be emotional, your heart could be at serious risk and going to a doctor can SAVE your life.
I have suffered from anxiety for years but am now recovered. I have a website that I put together to help other people who can’t seem to get control of it. It is called anxietycompass.com. It is free. I don’t want you to buy anything, I just want to help people.
I get them a lot. Kind of runs in the family.
If you’re depressed all the time maybe go therapist.
Most people get them when they’re nervous or worry a lot.
When you get them just try to stay calm. Think about something nice like kittens
ugh, I feel like that right now. You’re not alone. I feel so depressed.
I am terribly sorry that I can’t answer your question.
doing this will mean changing your life –
Be an informed person so you can choose your healing route well. Be really aware that the conventional treatment for this can be horrendous and you can go on for years with no improvement and massive damaging detrimental side effects from meds . Do read this very carefully and try and understand the principles behind what is being said .
Evaluate all of this info well –this info will save you years of suffering —years if you apply it ..
This will educate you on our health care system and its dire limitations
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense right .it costs millions to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people..
Drug companies Fund most research and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, –they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies with profit in them.
Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved needless amputations, needless pain and trauma, and much loss of life. Drugs are not the answer for depression with mind altering chemicals or any other mental illness. This is a fundamental principle and unless you grasp this fully –you could /will have years of suffering ahead of you .
This does not help you though when you are ill and suffering—not hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Herbs, Light therapy,Colour therapy,the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices.
These therapies will work for many complaints of a so called mental nature
we have thousands of testimonials and results showing years of successful applications
Do this and I will guarantee improvements to you inside a day its that simple, of course getting these things in place can be much harder. Each therapy can have a very beneficial influence on you.
Print this all off save it and enact it and share it — of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by them trying for short cuts ….
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.
2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this — 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results
3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy – nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have
4 study and apply good nutrition– adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc
5 ensure your thyroid is working well
7 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma —–usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes— how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others —they suffer more and longer…and if they are doing a lot they get well faster….so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.
8 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well
9 be or get to a place which personally love or like
10 get and do some work which you like or love
11 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don’t want to add to your karma do we !!!
12 spiritual healing yes and reiki -.
13think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,
14 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..
15 Positive affirmation- that’s right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .
16 a detox —— toxins can influence how you feel big time
17 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs….
18 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy
19 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives get back to a wholesome organic diet diet
A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just ho
I AM THE SAME WAY ABOUT TAKING SO MUCH MEDICATIONS, I ONLY TAKE NERVE PILLS IT KEEPS THE ANXIETY ATTACKS TO VERY FEW, I REFUSE TO TAKE THE OTHER CRAP, YOU SHOULD STOP DRINKING BECAUSE IT ALTERS YOUR FEELINGS AND WILL BRING ON PANIC ATTACKS AND THE REASON YOU ARE OKAY WHEN DRUNK IS BECAUSE IT CALMS YOU ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE ATTACKS BUT IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO HAVE ATTACKS. YOU KNOW WHAT THE ATTACKS FEEL LIKE SO TRY NOT TO TRAVEL ALONE, CARRY SOMETHING WITH YOU THAT WILL SOOTHE YOU IF AN ATTACK STARTS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY CALM YOURSELF SO THE ATTACK WILL EVENTUALLY MINIMIZE THEN SUBSIDE COMPLETELY. I’VE DONE IT LOTS OF TIMES BUT I WOULD TRY TAKING THE NERVE PILLS, DIAZEPAM OR KLONOPINE AT LOW DOSAGES, YOU CAN TAKE ONE EVERY MORNING OR AS NEEDED AND YOU CAN SKIP THESE MEDS WITHOUT FEELING ANY NEED FOR THEM BUT AT FIRST YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM REGULARLY FOR THE FIRST MONTH. ALSO THESE ATTACKS OCCUR WHEN WE ARE AT OUR MOST RELAXED SO TRY TO STAY ACTIVE AND AVOID REMINDERS AS TO WHAT MAY CAUSE AN ATTACK, HOPE I WAS HELPFUL
Alcohol is a depressant. The more you use it the more depressed you become. As far as the panic attacks, if you have a few drinks and they get worse, something in the alcohol is making them worse, could even be a cerebral allergy. If you refuse to go to a doctor and get help, then start taking better care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise and sunshine every day possible. Take B-Complex and Ester-C vitamins every day and a good multivitamin. These are all proven depression fighters. If you still suffer too much to be comfortable in your life, you may have a serotonin imbalance in the brain and only medication will help correct it, and it’s time to see a doctor at that point.
alchohol is definitely linked to your problem.The more you drink the more depressed you’ll become this I know for sure because my mom was the same.
The best way to deal with panic attacks is to deal with them naturally without taking any prescribed drugs like xanax or any NLP products.Even though they will help you out in short term in a long term they will damage your body.
Here are some great methods to deal with it along with some great stories as how this natural method has helped people out and how simple it is to do.There is also a bit more of information on how panic attacks happen and why.

I wish you the best of luck and hope everything works well for you in the future =]
Yes they are linked.
I too have suffered from panic attacks pretty much for the past 5 years. Sometimes it gets so bad that I cannot leave the house for days on end, this is what causes my depression, that I cannot live the life I want to. My boyfriend recently left me due to my panic attacks – we had been together for nearly two years, talked about marriage and kids when he decided he couldn’t deal with ‘my problem’ (he didn’t like to ever mention them either – he preferred me doped up to the eyeballs than sorting out my problem).
I have been to the doctors to see about counselling and she has made me try an antidepressant called Citalopram first for a few weeks. At the moment its making me feel really quite slow – these effects should wear off after a couple of weeks (I went in the past and I was given beta blockers which slowed my heart down rather than make me feel any better.
See you doctor about cognitive therapy to help you work through this.
I don’t drink alcohol anymore because when I was hungover I used to get them really bad – I was fine when I was drunk though
Good luck, its crap isnt it?
I would prefer not to take tablets for it either, I would rather learn how to control my anxiety

Hi. I have had situational depressed along with anxiety for about 2 months now. My doctor help me ween off the Citalopram, which I have been off for about 5 days. I have been doing alot of things such as using light therapy, exercising, eating healthily, taking fish oil capsules and taking one tablet of l-tyrosine 500mg and 50mg of 5-htp. I have been taking these for about 2 days.
There are plenty of alternatives to prescribed drugs. I don’t believe in SSRI’s myself anymore. However my anxiety is being caused by my depression. I used to get panic attacks, but I don’t anymore. It may be worth researching natural anti-anxiety drugs on the internet. There is always hope, and I’m sure you will get there. I am confident that what I am experiencing at the moment is going to make me stronger, and there will be a happy ending to it.
If you need anymore help or need to talk, message me
You have just described another classic example of what may be MPD..DID (multiple personality disorder). Because most so called therapists and doctors don’t understand MPD properly, you will not get any help from most of them.
MPD is a spiritual problem and it is NOT a disorder, nor is it a mental problem. It is a situation that can normally be dealt with quite easy if you go to someone who understands it. It’s pretty hard to give you details in a venue like this but I can suggest you look at my MPD “Sleeping Giant” article on my blogsite. It explains everything in detail. You will find it at:http://messianicgentiles.blogspot.com http://www.messianicgentiles.blogspot.co…
I would be glad to freely help in any way I can, so please feel free to contact me in this regard.
