I use St. John's Wort as what I call my "good faith attempt to have a good attitude." It is a mild, organic antidepressant. (Do you suppose it is the origin of the term "worry wort?")
The thing is, it does not take out your PROBLEMS, but it may indeed take out your worries. Worrying does not count as an activity. Analyzing, meditating, planning, contemplating -- these are activities, but worrying is just spinning your wheels. St. John's Wort can help you get over that tendency and decide to move on.
A big old warning about using alcohol as a medication: alcohol is well known for its addictive properties, both for physical and social reasons. The classic "sympathetic bartender," after all, is only selling more alcohol that way. As millions of recovering alcoholics can tell you, it does not work and it is a nasty addiction to have to break. Don't go that route.
The great thing about using a natural supplement like St. John's Wort instead of a prescription drug is that you open up your options of what sort of wise person you want to talk to. Granted, you need to talk to someone. But why limit the list to those with prescription-writing authority? Perhaps the problem is more effectively dealt with as a spiritual matter, not a medical one.

i've got heard of human beings doing this too. yet i think of maximum take a destroy each 4 months. i might ask your surgeon approximately while and in case you're able to take a destroy. i might think of after some months you would be as bloated as heck and can choose to take a destroy ( yet i've got by no potential been on the pill for some at once months.) and that i wanted to function that there are beginning administration pills that are accessible and that they are designed which you may in basic terms have 4 classes a three hundred and sixty 5 days. it could be safer to pass on one among there because of the fact that that's what it quite is designed for

Quit deciding to be such a professional victim. Take your power back and quit looking for a quick-fix. Quit asking people to fix your problem.
You have to make an effort YOURSLEF. That is the best way to feel better. The effort you make will directly build up your self esteem.
Once you make an accomplishment, it will motivate you to feel more confident about tackling another task. You will gain momentum and feel better, but YOU HAVE TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
See a psychologist, not a psychaitrist. You don't need meds. All you need is some new perspective and alternative coping skills. No one but YOU can "fix" you. Psychaitrists fix people with meds, psychologists make people fix themselves.
Replace "I can't" with "I am not willing to" and get up off your butt and just do it. There is an apportunity hiding behind every obstacle. 90% of those obstacles are ones you actually put there (helplessness, excuses for lack of effort, perceived shortcomings, etc).
View your obstacles as challenges, to improve/learn/overcome them. Each time you face and overcome a challenge, you get a boost. It is the effort that you make to produce the outcome, that fulfills you.
Whether you tell yourself you will be successful or not, you will be right.
Think about it.
Take care!

Your best bet would be to visit a mental health professional. Unfortunately there are no pills to remove all worries and pain is a fact of life. I have never met anyone who hasn't been hurt in some fashion. But if you are truly depressed and are drinking to get rid of the pain, then you need help. I am sure that you have figured out that the alcohol isn't working. Seek help from a professional if you feel you need it.

Antidepressants are meant for people who are so depressed, they can't function - not for guys who pity themselves after a breakup. Sorry to be so harsh, but get real. You're a smart guy. You don't need anesthesia for the ordinary trials of an ordinary life. A breakup gives you an opportunity to learn about who you are and become a better person, painful though it may be. Take a chance on growing up. Sorry to be harsh, but I am just so tired of hearing about people who take low expectations for granted and won't even face the most basic challenges of growing up.

Hmmm....you might try an OTC Magneisum pill. They are for high blood pressure and may help calm you down, so your worries don't effect your health. Sorry, that's all I could come up with. But please...stop using alcohol to drown your troubles...that only leads to liver problems.
Oh...don't let a break up with any girl do that to you! NO person on earth is worth risking your health over! I am a woman...and I know women better than men do.

Pills dont make you forget your worries. They aid you in coping along with therapy.
