Have Anxiety and Depression??

osbornsm

I've been battling depression and migraine headaches since the age of 8 years old.

Migraines have mostly subsided, thank god.

But now i am left with the inability to function as one would consider a "normal" day-to-day schedule.

How do you other sufferers deal with this?

was diagnosed being bi-polar & could be depressed or at times have anxiety...(over 20yrs ago)... they prescribed me Xanax for the anxiety to take at night-but had jet lag in the mornings,,,so caffeine'd up to get going.
Tried anything from Prozac,Zoloft,Lexapro,Depakote,etc.....but all seemed to make me tired.
After i had a knee replacement 3+ years ago,,,found myself really low on energy & even nodding off driving home from work.
My doc tried me on Vyvanse & what a huge difference that made,,,,boosted energy & focous afer about 2 hours & last all day w/no side effects,,,,i had to cut caffeine intake some to keep from being over-charged....but it works for me.
morning 30mg.Vyvanse & 3mg Xanax in evening......kinda sounds like doping/but i function well during the day & rest well at night.
As to some-this may sound extreme,
Both meds come in lower & higher doses...& at 6'5"+ 255+lbs. this is currently working for me.

True, but then there’s an unhealthy fear of public speaking which is what I have. I’ll get nervous days before I have to speak and the anxiety gets very heavy. Most of the time I know what I want to say but I come across these mental blocks and cannot articulate what I want to say properly. I’m really hoping a Toasmasters changes me for good and instills a sense of confidence that I see so many people effortlessly do.

I think toast master will help a lot. The thing that toast master does is give you a lot of practice in a safe environment that will translate into success. I worked with a lady that was skittish as a cat on a hot tin roof when it came to public speaking. She always seemed anxious even speaking to her peers. She went to toast masters and became a very good and impressive speaker. I help her confidence in so many ways. So go for it and good luck!
