I am overcoming a depression that has lasted about 8 months. This was due to an ex bf who I fell victim of manipulation. I was not able to take anti-depressants becuase my body cant handle it. It's been 8 months and although I have gone to therapy for it, there are moments in which I t hink about it and it really bothers me andI start to feel low and or have anxiety. IS there something I can take when I feel this way? Is there something my doctor can perscribe that will isn't addictive or an anti-depressant? What can help me from anxiety??

don't take drugs talk to God , pray and read your bible it will lift you up in way you can not imagine. loving yourself and knowing you were only trying to help him and he turned out to be a leach the way it sounds. he used you i have been use in the worst way also but i knew i was trying to help him and if he felt using me helped him, he was wrong. see what you don't know he will never get away with what he did. have you heard the term what goes around comes around. it is the law of nature , it is so true so stop feeling bad, he will get it back ask any one, you see at the end the joke is on him, and if he use you once,he will try again. it may be a year from now or later he will come back and this is when you look at him and walk away tall. you know when a dog buries his bone he always return to the sight and so will that dog. get out of the house there are other people out there . don't let him enslave you where you are afraid to live life. take yourself out to dinner and go with the girls. and when you start dating again don' t forget about the girls. in other words keep your life, don't ever sit at home waiting for a man, if he comes okay if he doesn't it okay to. keep your girls close to you ,you will always need them and take some, i said some of their advice. smile because God loves you and so do i. good luck you don't need medication.

Sadly, we are conditioned to reach for a pill for a fast fix when problems arise. Before reaching for the pill bottle, try stress management and relaxation therapy. There are quite a few of these offerings at hospitals, universities and mental health clinics. There is no anti-anxiety med that does not have addiction potential. You could also benefit from talk therapy. Just talking about this issue to someone (a professional) who understands and can offer coping skills to get rid of the problem works wonders. You can also learn ways to head off these problems in the future.

Hi sweety!!
First dont let these feelings about this boy make you feel like your not normal. We all play the role of fools in relationships sometimes. Yes there is something your Doc can prescribe as an emergency type of medication for anxiety. Based on use when you only need it. I think i have heard of people having klonopin or valium or xanax on hand when they know they are going to be in a stressful situation just incase. These shouldnt be addicting if you only use it when you need it.
God Bless you sweety.

Medication will only MASK the problem. You have to practice changing your way of thinking. When a bad memory enters your mind, think of other positive things. Keep your mind occupied with positive thoughts. Medication will only complicate matters. You can also return to your therapist and resume your sessions for a while. Feeling of hurt and anxiety are normal, but there comes a time when you have to let the break up go and move on. GOOD LUCK!

St Johns Wort can help mild anxiety and depression but you have to be careful with it as it can interact with other drugs (especially birth control pills). Maybe talk to your doctor about it
