I have really been enjoying researching Anxiety, and have learned a lot by writing these posts.
Anxiety is very frustrating, because the cause is not always visible. When I am through having an anxiety attack... I am left with a feeling of almost stupidity. I feel stupid that I reacted to a situation in such a way.
That feeling is normal, as I'm learning. That a lot of people feel it. But, it's a mental illness and should be treated accordingly.
You have to treat it, if it's stopping you from living the life you want to live.
While medication can help (they really didn't for me) they can often leave you feeling like a "zombie". You can feel less in control of your own life. Often times this can be fixed by another trip to your doctors office, and being candid about your responses to the medicine.
Some people have explore some Alternatives though. And, as I stressed in the first Post... I am not a doctor or anybody qualified to give advice on medication or treatment... these things should be discussed with your doctor before trying.
I think Alternative Medicine warrants a couple of posts, because of just how much information is out there. So, the next couple of posts will be about this.
I want to start with something that I am really excited about. It's an herbal substance called Kava or kava-kava.
Kava's root gives off a sedative effect (or relaxing) without feeling disrupting mental clarity.
I have never taken Kava, but after reading more about it... I am going to give it a try.
I have heard of it in a few different forms. There's a gum, a powder, and a pill... The powder can be added to a cup of water and drank.
For more information on Kava I'm going to post the link to the wikipedia page which has a ton of info.
I was going to also put up information on St. John's wort... but I am finding just as much information against it as for it...
