Ok so - I deal with PTSD, BPD, GAD and depression. I have taken many medications - found they worked for a time and then they stopped n I just more or less started becoming somewhat dependant on a few of them - so I started tapering myself off of them when they would no longer do me any good (aka I still got suicidal or etc) and tried to talk to my docs - they bounced me around from med to med but lately they just say "you have been on everything, what do you want me to do?" so..i started looking for alternatives n only taking the meds when absolutely necessary. The best thing I found is essential oils.

I use:

lavender oil - inhale it for anxiety, or put 2-3 drops on pillow for sleep

rose oil: inhale it for depression

cedarwood oil: place 3-4 drops on palm of hand n rub hands together, cups hands gently over nose n mouth n breathe regular for 1-3 minutes (for dissociation)

peppermint oil can also be used for anxiety and depression but i find it does not work as well

When inhaling, you can simply hold the bottle under your nose as you naturally inhale (do not breathe deep) or you can diffuse the room with it

I get all my oils as the 100% therapeutic grade 0.5oz bottles (those last about a month) from Essential Oils, Soap Making Supplies & More | Bulk Apothecary

I hope that helps
