Mental health problem

Does anyone have any of the following?

Depression

Social Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Schizophrenia

etc etc

How do you deal with them? Do you take drugs? Cognitive behavioral therapy? Etc.

P.S. No medical advice. Just your life story.

I have seasonal affective disorder. I do not take meds. I use light therapy. But there is nothing wrong with taking meds if that works for you.

I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep

But I listen to music. Music helps

I have anxiety comes with heart palpitations and left arm discomfort .. I dont take any pills.. Prayers, zikr and dua works for me..

I have had severe anxiety and depression for over a decade. Didn't take any medication until two years ago.

This is because for the past two years I've been suffering from severe PTSD. I am also receiving cognitive behavioural therapy.

Depression. No medicines yet!

Long walks, hiking and cold showers have helped me a lot. Also my 5 year old son who keeps me on my toes all the time. But I have my off days where nothing helps.

Just to add to these, I have noticed that fasting helps me a lot too.

I have anxiety, especially health anxiety, and being a diabetic myself escalates my problems. I am a doctor and last 2 years depressing for me. Without medicines I can't control my anxiety. Along with medicines, sometimes light hearted movies, shows like SNL helps a lot. Besides my son keeps me sane. But having a little one and having health anxiety is never a good combination.

Relaxing long walks help a lot though. For me visiting new places helps too.

Anxiety and gets panic attacks sometimes

No medication but yeah slow music helps in such situation

I don't know what I have

But at night. I always feel a sense of fear that something might happen to me and there is no one to take me to hospital . I get heart palpitations and nightmares.
