(2,949 posts)Recently talked to a lady who is 52 years old concerning mood altering drugs. She takes something for anxiety. I suggested working on eliminating this. She told me about being in a grocery store and getting so anxious that she just left her basket full of products and walked out of the store.
This left me speechless but, i still think the mind is an amazing thing and can be used to overcome many of these mood problems. With proper help/training.
I have suffered with depression more then once in my life. One time i used drugs as the Dr. i was seeing told me if i did not take the drugs he would not have me as a patient. Took the drugs for about 3 months did not like the side affects and eventually got over that depressive time. Have had other bouts with depression one lasting a few years. Most recent was about 4 or 5 years ago, i found a psychologist that fit my needs. So far no relapses, i still use her words of wisdom to maintain my equilibrium.
