It has been an intriguing topic to me lately! I have known several people that have it and one or two that have overcome it. First off, from past experience through others and myself, there are several kinds. We all experience it sometimes but for some, it can be come a medical issue. One kind is anxiety, workoholic/perfectionist, overwhealmed and stressed, and also perhaps moral for some which would be overbearing guilt for small things usually triggered by living in the past. How do you think are healthy ways to overcome it? Do you feel medication is the answer or perhaps counselling or spiritual intervention. I over came my guilt through spirituality where I know someone else who could only get out of a life long depression through medication alone. Apparently, this affects over 20 million americans, yet I am sure the number is far greater. I am trying to become an expert at this topic, because I do not want to live my young life like one person I know who had it for almost 30 years. They would go almost 8 month stretches at a time with anxiety and stress. They have been cured for almost 6 months and plans to never get off of this medication. I want to learn as much about this to help others who I may encounter with problems. If you have any past experiences or other comments, feel free to post them here.
