These affect me every day of my life and they ruin my life. I have depression and anxiety see a therapist and all but I need better explaining, so I'm going to try to get it from the internet. My mind is just not at ease. One problem I have is that I make mental lists in my head. I always make a list in my head of what I have to do the rest of the day or what I have to say to someone. I just make lists for everything. And then if I forget something, it drives me crazy. I would spend hours, or usually the rest of the day trying to remember stuff. It would make me lose focus on the stuff I was doing. Sometimes I would write stuff down, but I really don’t have many opportunities to do so and usually just don’t feel like writing it down. And I don’t feel like writing it down because I mostly feel like I can remember it. I know time and time again that I probably won’t remember something, but I still neglect to write it down. Ah, there is just so much going through my mind right now. Right now, I’m trying to remember the things I was going to say here and some other examples of these occurrences. I am currently making lists in my head of what to say. Right now, I have a list of 4 specific things I want to say, but have yet to get to them. And it's not just stuff from lists, but just trying to remember anything. I can't let things go. I dwell on things. Another just bad feeling I have is when it feels like there was something else. Something else I was going to do or say. I just get this feeling that there was something else. It would just come suddenly, and I would think about it until I felt sure. I just have to feel sure, certain. Certainty. Another problem that I have. Or it’s basically the same problem as my other problems. Well, they all connect. I always have this feeling of uncertainty. If stop myself from trying to remember something, I still have this feeling of uncertainty. Another problem I have is that I think too much into things. I try to figure stuff out. Right now, I am trying to figure out how my different problems are related and how I should explain them. There is so much going through my head that it is what probably makes me forget stuff, because I just forgot something else that I was trying to figure out and was going to put here. With so much going through my mind, I start thinking of other stuff like a song that’s in my head. Sometimes I would just suddenly forget something, though, too. Well, another example of how I think too much into things is when someone does something I think is weird, I wonder about it and try to put myself in that place. I’ll just keep thinking about it until I feel sure about it, but it is hard because there are other things going through my head. And then there’s the other problem I have with curiosity. All the things that come up throughout the day, I just get curious about, especially the really surprising ones. There’s just this feeling that I have that I need to know stuff. And then I just get this anxiety. Even when I don’t wonder about stuff, I still get this anxiety when something happens as if I was wondering about it. I always have this feeling of being confused even when there’s nothing confusing me. I also have this problem I call my ‘what if’ problem. I sometimes wonder about how something could have happened differently. Even if I play out in my mind how else it could’ve gone out, I still wonder and get anxiety. And then I wonder what are different ways something could happen that hasn’t happened yet. So I always get anxiety when faced with just a simple decision. So I always have a hard time deciding on something. I even try to decide on how I should feel about something or someone. I wonder if I should like someone or despise them. I try to figure out how I should feel. And I’m still currently thinking about and trying to remember different things I should mention here. Another problem I have is regret. I can regret over the stupidest things and it would just bother me. All these problems I have are on my mind all day. I am bothered all day and never have a peace of mind. One thing that is good about forgetting stuff is that when I remember it, I feel really good. I just feel so relieved. But this really shouldn’t happen. Another good example of thinking too much into things is and making lists is when I’m watching a movie. It really prevents me from actually enjoying the movie. I’ll think about how things could’ve gone differently in a movie. Or I’ll just be trying to figure a bunch of other stuff in the movie. And I’ll make mental lists of them. And if I’m watching a movie by myself, it could take me a good hour or so extra to watch it be rewinding it and pausing it either to stop and think about something that just went on and figure it out or play back what I missed while I was thinking about stuff, or I’ll just rewind it to take a closer look at it.

  • Boost your creativity (ScienceDaily, 2010)
  • Cultivate healthy habits that lead to weight loss (Journal Emotion, 2007)
  • Improve digestion and lower blood pressure (Harvard Medical School)
  • Decrease your risk of heart attack (The Stroke Journal, 2009)
  • Help overcome anxiety, depression, anger and confusion (Psychosomatic Medicine, 2009)
  • Decrease perception of pain and improve cognitive processing (Wake Forest University School of Medicine, 2010)
  • Increase your focus and attention (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2007)
  • Increase the size of your most important organ – your brain! (Harvard University Gazette, 2006)

I can't say if u have anxiety but I was once a victim of anxiety disorder.I used to get scared of things and my legs start shaking and heart palpitations. At first I thought it was due to weakness but later I found it was anxiety disorder. My doc gave me paxil and clonazepam. It started making me good.  But see it all depends on you. You have to set your mind positive. Because of this illness I had to quit my job. i was scared to get out of my house.After taking medicine I started getting some confidence. Than i started walking 2-3 hrs in the eve even though I used to fill like I was going to have panic attack  at some time but god willing it never happened. If i feel like having panic attack I used to take a deep breath and it helped. So all I can say is get medication, be positive and build confidence. It will take time but u'll be good. I don't know much about depression.

Feel better.

Please please give meditation a shot. Don't expect it to change you overnight but eventually you will be so much calmer and collected. Try mindfulness meditation about an hour a day. You owe it to yourself and your health.

Dear Sajhamod and Kiddo, Thanks to your prompt reply but medication is the only answer to the solution? What makes a panic attack acceptable not desirable, but acceptable? I might get hurt or killed. If someone points a gun at me, I have to do whatever I can to change that: run, hide, fight, yell, bribe, or beg, because the consequence of being shot is so terrible that I must try to avoid it. On the other hand - a policeman giving me a ticket, even if I don't deserve it, I can live with that, and can hopefully keep my temper in check so I don't make things worse for myself. Wait up!! My bosni is here...:(

Many of your health and mental problem arises because of the gut problems.
Fix your gut, fix your health.
Gastritis or intestinal disorder is considered cause of several anxiety attacks out there.
Over time, it causes severe mental issues. We are so accustomed to processed foods, hectic lifestyle,
stressful working environment etc out there,
we ain't even sure what is causing what problems to us. We are so deficient of natural nutrients
that bad bugs get chance to proliferate causing weird health problems.
And, we turn to OTC or prescription drugs to mask the problems instead of finding the root cause.
Believe me, many times, your doctor can't even diagnose what the root problem is.

Think your intestine as a highway to good health, when mucos lining in it is disrupted with pathogens
or some parasites, we won't be able to absorb nutrition vital to our adjacent organs. Moreover, it greatly
disturbs the wellbeing and hormonal balance. Autoimmune then triggers and constantly hammers our own
body. This cycle runs and overtime without doing much we feel like we are tired, over burnt and fatigue all
time. You could be asymptomatic to any root cause of the problem. Rather it may manifest as mental
problems, adrenaline fatigue or gastritis. In some cases, with no obvious gastritis symptoms.
Usually, any imbalance caused by your gut problems show problems in various organs of your body.
So, instead of trying to fix those superficially , try to fix your root problem that is your GUT.
Believe me, once you fix your gut, all those problems all over your body will dissolve. My chinese chiropracter
said so and I had that enlightenment moment realizing how important it is to keep your gut healthy. It indeed
is the root of wellbeing. Any problems in there, you name it, various disease surfaces in different forms and names.

Here, I'd like to challange every single reader of this post to go and check for comprehensive stool test, including
"H. Pylori bacterium". Believe me, anyone having issues/not having issues, you'll find what critters are there and
what they're doing.  Of all these, H.Pylori is the vicious and benign-like but silently killing you or making you mentally
retarded or dementia or even unexpected cancer later in the life.
This bug doesn't cause any problems, no visible symptoms but mild irrelevant symptoms like mental retardness,
anxiety, fatigue, lack of confidence, mood swings, tiredness, dementia etc. Some obvious symptoms are there like
GERD etc but most live with this bug only to be confronted by vicious disease later in the life. Go, eradicate your
stomach bugs first, change diet and then give yourself few months and see the difference. Your mental bipolarness
, retardness, panic and anxiety attacks will be the case of distant memories. Don't believe me? do it and then come
back and tell me, I'm ready to bet :) 

Besides, Meditation is a very powerful self consoling mechanism and has tremendous but permanent placebo like effect
to cure yourself.

Just do these, you'll thank yourself you did.

Good health to you all :)

 @bittertruth, I don't  know wat u trying to say by gut problem. Most of the time anxiety and depression are genetic. The first question doctor ask you is if ur parents or grandparents suffer from those illness. And yes in my case its genetic. But I am back to normal now. I tried ramdev and everything, it never helped. I seriously recommend to take a medication or else its gona be more worse. but please find out if u r suffering from those illness first.

I suffered/ suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. However, these are directly related to my health. Five years ago, it was directly related to my gastronomical problem and stress. I did all kind of health check, and found out it was directly related to my heart burn. I took 2 semesters break, exercised hard, and it was all gone. I got back to study, started drinking again, and situation got worst again after few quarters. I went for counseling, and my therapists advised me to do some meditation and take medication if necessary. I carry Lorazepam with me all the time for panic or anxiety attacks (never used though). I am in the worst situation right now. I barely get out of my house and rarely drive. I know I can overcome with my problem (done that in the past). I am going to get back to shape, going to do meditation, and if necessary, I will take medication. I hate taking medication, and that would be my last choice. My point is, we have to be positive and fight back with the tools (medication, exercise, stress management, and meditation) that are necessary.

 @choela if i were u i wud take medication....see being positive and having confidence are the secondary thing here....u may feel better but again it strikes u back. take medicine, you wont feel better in 1 or 2 weeks but in 4 months u'll overcome it. u quit 2 semester and u said u r still in the worst situation. so its better u start taking medicine. once u start getting better u can decrease the dose and finally get rid of it. but again i ask people here to find diff in anxiety, depression, stress, frustration and anxiety disorder. these all are completely diff thing. i know people get anxious at times but that doesn't mean u r having anxiety disorder. but in regards to choela it must be anxiety disorder and pls bro don't drink alcohol, avoid anything that has caffeine, nicotine....take medicine ,exercise as i said i used to walk like 2-3 hrs, think positive , have confidence,u'll start feeling better. in my case medicine really helped me in thinking positive and building confidence. that is y those medicine are made of. the later the worst it will be.

feel better bro. u know now i am back to normal i feel like having 2nd life. the 5,6 months i had anxiety disorder i was like dead man standing.

sajhamod, not most of the time, just coz it occurred to you doesn't mean it is 'most of the time'.
Gene certainly determines your future health based on your ancestors health but given proper nutrition,
treatment and precaution those can be easily avoided. You are saying your case is treated. :D
I see living proofs all around who pathetically don't hold on to genetics and do nothing. The way
you inferred things about YOGA, which I never mentioned in the post above rather briskly discussed
about meditation which is totally different from what I was implying, has nothing to do with Ramdev.
You still sort of lack concentration and jumping into quick analysis. And, with straight focus attitude
towards life and having practiced spirituality and meditation lil over 4-5 years now, I've not come across
any fear/anxiety/depression of unknown cause to seek immediate psychological treatment, so it be
recommended for others who need it most. I acknowledge I had paranoia/fear/anxiety sort of problems but it took
time for me to stabilize my mental whirlwind and that through meditation, not medication. As you said,
I agree often times we need medication as biochemicals in our bodies are to be blamed most of the time
for these mental or physical problem to which we can't deny the therapeutic remedies, but totally
dismissing my advice on calming self and soul(meditation) is nothing but disdain.

You have to remember, physical and spiritual, we have two bodies. We should take care each of 'em. People
get physical problems as they go farther from their spiritual existence. Sometimes, it's really healthful to
know your spiritual aspects as well.

So folks, try that tips above, go get your comprehensive stool test and all that, you won't regret.

Well, I have to admit that alcohol consumptions on every weekend might be the greatest factor for my problem. I used to be a heavy drinker in the past. Looking at the Wikipedia, I have to say that I have anxiety disorder: panic disorder and Agoraphobia, with little depression on the top. I developed social disorder at one point, but don’t have that any more.

Sajhamod, I am definitely going to stop drinking alcohol (slowing down already, could not quit instantly), and going to avoid caffeine & nicotine as well. In a month, I have decided that I am going to see a doctor for prescription medication, if nothing works (everyday exercise, meditation and positive thinking). My psychotherapist in the past also suggested relaxing exercise first and medication if everything fails. Medications definitely come with some side effects, but it looks like I don’t have any option. One question though, whom should I see to get the prescription: psychotherapist or medical doctor?

  Thanks for the suggestions!

 @ choela i saw internal doctor as they are better than generic doctor or psychiatrist would be fine. 
@bittertruth u said u had paranoia/anxiety/fear problem too but that is something everybody has....i am talking about the anxiety disorder here and once u get it trust me u wont get out without medication. it happened to me while i was working. As usual i was working in a office and when it was time for the lunch and as i got up i start feeling like panic attacks. I coudn't move. it came instantly. and so i took a sick leave and i stayed home and try to overcome it. i tried ramdev, deep breath wateva u call everything watching youtube and google but never felt good. I already passed 1 month and it started getting more worse. I had no option but see a doc. its the brain game bro not a body game u better be clear on this. once i start taking medicine it started getting better.it took me atleast 4 months to overcome it. i still carry my medicine incase if i feel uncomfortable. see the symptoms are your leg starts shaking, u'll have heart palpitation that u never had before, u start getting fear, u start sweating. I know i dont get fear but its the brain that does this and u can't control it. i think its called a seizure. now if you go to any pharmacy for the medicine i mentioned u can't get it instatly they have to order it for you. u have to show ur id and that u'll be registered under government agency. paxil and clonazepam helped me bro. but see clonazepam are taken in nepal by those druggist to get high. but if u have anxiety disorder it won't make u high nad make u feel better, so if get high that means u r not having anxiety disorder but probably just a minor anxiety that everyone has. I was a victim once and so i share it coz i have gone thru it.

now its upto u bro if u gona do meditation and shit or go see a doc. I once tried going to brahma kumari for meditation thinking that i could overcome it with out medicine but when i check their website they clearly say its not for the people who has psychological disorder coz they know that it might help but trust me it won't cure. so again u must be clear wat exactly are u having...just a minor anxiety like everyone has or severe anxiety that i had

Thats it bro...holla if u need any more suggestions......

 @ choela when u visit a doctor it doesn't mean they will give u medicine at once.... they will test ur everything like thyroid, gastric, blood pressure, height and weight imbalance. for me i was in a very good shape. all test were negative and so doctor had no choice but give me a medicine. coz doctor they at first refrain from giving the medicine. he also knows that if it can be treated the other way or think if i have any other disease but if not they will only  prescribe u a medicine.

Spritual, the problem with you is you think too damn much. You don't have to do what I say but for just one day, say FU*K YOU to everything. 

Say FU*K YOU to that guy who makes more money than you.
Say FU*K YOU to those friends who eat away at your soul.
Say FU*K YOU to those Americans who think they are better than you.
Say FU*K YOU to everything you don't like and agree with.

It is a big world out there. Don't be scared. If you have crappy friends, let them go. A lot of times, we hang on to people we don't like because we are scared we might end up alone. I am telling you, crappy friends will kill you. And stop thinking about what is gonna happen in the future. Nothing in the future is guaranteed. Just give it your best and work towards it but don't let it drive you crazy just thinking about it. 

Say FU*K YOU more often. People might think you are crazy but your own sanity is much more important than what other people think. 

P.S. Trust me, nothing is wrong with you. It is all in the mind. Try to control it than let it control you.

sajhamod, Yah, am not anywhere near to what you've gone through. Medication/surgery are there for acute cases like yours. I hear you brother, may good health be there for you and always. Glad to know that you are feeling better now.

I had a friend who was deeply depressed and ended up taking his life on his second attempt. He was a brilliant guy - highly intelligent, analytical, creative and had a terrific sense of humor. I wish he were alive and could go through this thread. He would have so much to say. Here are a few things I learned from trying to help him battle the disease. I only wish I could have done more.

(1)Depression is like hair-loss - it doesn't occur all at once but gradually over a period of time. The early signs are hard to detect because they can be confused with symptoms of more benign neurotic conditions like anxiety which most people go through at some stage of their lives. Some people with a family history of depression or schizophrenia may think it will skip them or their generation. They can go through their teens and twenties just fine and escape an early onset but it can start in their early thirties and later too.

(2) Don't believe everything you think. Being depressed and well-read can be a potent mix. We are bombarded with information every minute that we are awake. The conclusions we draw from what we hear and think may, paradoxically, not always be the best for us, especially when we are ill, stressed or depressed. Google is the worst possible place to diagnose and cure yourself.

(3) Let the psychiatrist read the DSM. It may be tempting to read it yourself and get a leg up your doctor, but remember he is far more experienced in detecting symptoms and false positives. If you play doctor yourself, you are your first patient, and even though you think you have the knowledge to diagnose yourself, you don't have the experience to come up with the correct diagnosis and treatment.

(4) Be honest with your doctor. Don't use the information that you have gained from reading about mental illness to manipulate your doctor's diagnosis or to mask a deeper problem.

(5) Screw the stigma. Depression and mental disease may be stigmatized in American and Nepali society by some but those people are just not worth bothering about. Those who love you are bound to accept you for who you are sooner or later. There are sometimes  productive ways the mind can compensate for depression.   Here's Edgar Allen Poe: “Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.”

(6)Isolation and depression are lethal. This is a chicken and egg situation - does isolation cause depression or the other way around. The answer is not important. What is important is they don't go hand in hand and it is imperative to seek out friends, family, helplines or whatever support system is available.
