Default Re: Depression, Anxiety

i havent been on meds for years . i have tried them , but it was reactive depression , which is an acute form , there was a time when i really needed them , that was after court settlement when i got royally screwed . in bed for a week sleeping 22 hrs per day , then i knew i needed them . recognition is the key which only proffessionals working with you can tell .
So how do i control reactive depression , after years of surviving it starts to become easy , we all have hard times , a mood is temporary , if you can stop yourself from going agro , that means you can sit it out , and after a while , you realize that situations are only temporary and then will pass , this is the same as with good times .
People will start to see you as a very strong person who doesnt get wound up about much , Balance and acceptance is the key . . unless you cant control your actions , you dont need meds . but if you cant , you certainly do need meds , they work .
