(((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) I know what your saying, I have an anxiety disorder and take meds.....helps big time. But going back to your thoughts on religion (buddhism) I to have explored this as well as alot of other religions and decided that they all have something to offer,so I take all the good stuff that will help me. Intellectually I think it has made me look at life so much more differently especially since I have been dealing with my mental health.
Yes we have to be so careful when it comes to religion, especially us who suffer from mental health issues,I think we are more open in our minds to this kind of stuff. You were ment to go down the path you went down, so you can discover what you uncovered about yourself,without that you wouldn't be where you are. You have accomplished alot and did not have a wasted day,and that's one persons oppinion.

Thank you so much for the big hugs, we all need it.

In relationship to medictaion, you guys seem to take it, but i had a few months of both Lexapro and then Eleva, when i convinced the silly psychiatrist to give some medication.
(i think she thought i was to emotionally smart for medication, as i'm very very mature for a 22 year old)
And found medication only made me a happier, but disn't stop constant mind chatter. And the second time i took the second medication i was so mental stubburn it vertualy did nothing what so ever. This was when i thought i was being open minded enough and "ignorant" for closing the door on buddhism.

I find regualar exercise helps so much for my mind, plus i enjoy it. But must admit i don't want side affects of medication again and felt my short time with it did nothing except make me a bit bubbly and second medication did nothing.

I feel i know now when i'm 'silly thinking', i just talk my self through it and somtimes it takes longer than others, but usually gets quicker.

Would it be wrong of me to say i'll give myself a bit more time before i decided to talk to another psychiatrist. As i really want to do this naturally but realize i could be stubburn for saying this.
