Topic Title: We all need a helping hand
| | "We all need a helping hand" , Sun 22 Jul 16:01
I have just started using SJW in the last few weeks. I think it definitely helps to reduce my anxiety. I have had a very emotional year. I started drinking quite heavily about two years ago, my marriage started to fall to pieces at the beginning of this year, one of my best friends died, my dog was put down and my grandfather nearly died. I live in London and have quite a stressful job. I think I had some kind of breakdown about three months ago and had to go back to my parents for a month to recuperate. I gave up drinking and smoking and started to get fit, emotionally and physically. The physical part was very much the easiest part but I thought, if I had a stronger body, then it would help me too have a stronger mind. With the help of my family and a fantastic councilor, I managed to turn things round and to begin to look at things rationally. After a month I came back to London to try and piece my marriage together but unfortunately this has not happened, hence the use of SJW.
I don't really know what point I'm trying to make, maybe it's just to say that we all need a helping hand to get us through the really hard times and if it is a herbal remedy or family and friend's then so be it.

Good for you Welsh Boy, I am suffering badly, after being on anti depressants and anti anxiety drugs on and off for nearly 10 years, I have been on "nothing" for the last 12 months. Things were going really well, until lately when things started falling apart, a lot of stuff with friends, getting too involved with their problems; a lack of love in my own life; and now, the possibly of , an extremely sick father. Having a brother who suffers from schizphrenia, our family life has been somewhat "difficult". I feel I need a helping hand too, I am going down old paths and habits and getting extremely anxious and depressed and teary all the time. I think the world is a sad place and life is sad, and all the time I long for the golden sunshine days of my childhood (I am now 38 and still single). However I am hoping to look into taking SJW, not wishing to become the "veggie" I was on other anti-depressants, I can only hope that I get through all this **** like you have. My very best wishes for your full recovery.
