Struggling with Anxiety and Depression

I am struggling with anxiety and depression. I had heard about Lucinda Bassett's "Attacking Anxiety and Depression" tapes. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone heard anything about it? Good or Bad? Does it work? Has anyone tried herbal supplements? What works for you? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What can I do next?

I was on Craigslist yesterday and someone was selling the set for like 25 dollars.. Other then that I dont know much of it.

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your struggles. My dh struggles with severe anxiety on a daily basis. He takes Paxil and Klonopin every day. It has helped him out a lot. I suggest seeing your doctor and having him/her dianose you, and suggest something to take while you're struggling with this. Anxiety/depression is an illness...just like any other illness, it should be handled professionally. Hang in there and God bless.

I don't know about L. Bassett's tapes. I'm in the process of reading Joyce Meyer's "Battlefield of the Mind" book. She's a Christian author and it has helped me tremendously. I've suffered from anxiety and slight depression for years. It actually got better when I was pregnant (I never took meds for it). Also, Pilates helped me a lot too. And prayer. Hope this helps.

go to www.sosinc.org. This will kick anything and it's only three days! Good luck!! Saved my marriage and my life!!

My husband got the tapes at a very stressful time in his life and I being the happy go lucky person in our marriage said I would help him. I started the program with him and I was shocked, I think I was much more anxious and stressed than he was it just wasn't my persona to show my "STRESSED feelings." We found a lot of peace thru the program.
Lucinda was just a normal stressed out, anxious person that tried all the things people told her to do and then figured out a way that seems to be working for millions.
I think the tapes along with a visit to a doctor you trust would get you going in the right direction.
What's the saying - Don't sweat the small stuff and remember it's all small stuff!!!!

It is so funny that you mentioned this because I was at a class at church the other day and the lady sitting next to me mentioned that she used them! She has severe bipolar disorder along with anxiety and depression and she said these tapes have really helped her along with her medication.
Good luck!

Many people are pleased with Bach's Rescue Remedy for anxiety. Worth a try. A book that helped me out was The Miracle of Mind Power by Dan Custer...and I also believe in breathing, and balance exercise such as Tai Chi or Qi Gong...I haven't heard about the tapes but let us know if you try them.

You can beat this...but it is a daily task...I face it every day. But I am infinitely stronger each day I beat it. Every backslide feels terrible...but they are becoming fewer and shorter. I am committed to success. If you need help...please please get it.

I think everyone here is wanting you to achieve peace within.
