text: There are options that can help you. Medicine and therapy. You should definately be talking to a therapist or someone who can help you and you along with your therapist can decide if medicine is something you need. \n\nHere are some sites you can check out on depression:\n\nhttp://www.allaboutlifechallenges.org/Dealing-With-Depression.htm\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.org/depression/diagnosis.html\n\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=18543\n\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/depression/article_em.htm\n\nHere are some sites on anxiety:\n\nhttp://www.med.nyu.edu/psych/screens/anx.html\n\nhttp://www.pe2000.com/anx-breathe.htm\n\nhttp://www.couns.uiuc.edu/brochures/testanx.htm\n\nThere are lots of things that can help: medicine (lexapro, neurontin, xanax), therapy, alternative medicine. \n\n\nIts good you are taking care of your self and wanting help. That definately the first step and its definately the hardest step. It really sucks and often on the path to recovery you can start feeling worse before you feel better, don't let that get you down...\n\nOften times just talking to someone can help. \nIf you are anxious let yourself worry only once during the day and write it all down, every time you are anxious writing it down can help a lot and just talking about it. \n\nGood luck
