I have read several of your answers and they are all very good.I do quote the bible to myself ,and I do read things about worrying in buddist text too.its very calming and about the only way that I can relax enough to go to sleep but it seems the worry returns in the morning .i do things to keep trying to relax and not worry during the day but its hard.i will try everything that you all have said to try and just let go of the worry .Thanks

Sorry you're feeling this way. I have been there myself... well, I'm still there!
I'm really not sure what you can do other than keep talking to your therapist. Express how much this is really bothering you.
If you do not want to take a prescription anxiety med, try an herbal one such as Valerian.
I really hope you feel better. I know it's so awful to feel alone.
Email me if you'd like.

I have depression too and I believe the first answer is a good one I read the bible some the other day and this teacher guide to being enthusiastic
Read the Bible and know how ever the rest of your life goes as long as you do each day things you should do you've done ok and if something happens you will know at that time what to do and you can't know what to do for things that haven't happened yet and may never happen
I read a page that said wear a rubber band on your wrist one day and each time you begin to feel gloomy snap it they said it helps
God bless you

You are suffering from anxiety. It's typical in this information age. Remember, most of the stuff you read or hear has to be bad, because that's what sells!
So, don't pay attention to most, if not all of it, ok? Don't fall for THEIR game and fill their coffers with your money.
Second, we have become a nation that has neglected the BIBLE. For once, bring it out and start to READ IT. It will have a calming and reassuring affect.
You will soon find key verses to repeat to yourself when you start to feel worried. I did, and it works for me every night. I can sleep after that.
May you grow spiritually from this and lead you to the TRUTH and set yourself FREE!

My mother suffers from anxiety and depression. She takes a drug but she also does a lot of gardening. She says that it relaxes her just to hose the lawn and garden. I can only suggest that you speak to an expert on the subject of depression and that you take up a hobby that you really like if you haven't already.

I have this problem too. I think we just live in a very uncertain world these days. The best advice I've gotten is this: There is no reason to worry about things you have no control of.
We're all sitting in the balance, just live your life as best you can and be true to you.

you think too much ... if you are on meds and they aren't helping then tell your dr.
f**k the bible ... that makes things worse cuz life isn't the way it says. Ask God for help and blah blah though when you do ask for help and not to wake up feeling the way you do does s/he listen..??
Learn to meditate .. listen to music to get your brain onto something else... it helps. I know I am the same way
though I wish i wouldnt wake up...
