I am 28 f. I have tried sjw for anxiety and I have noticed a huge difference in a few days. Normally, my head is just full of thoughts that stress me out and make me down. But now my mind is feeling clear. Like people say, I can feel that anxiety part still there, but it is at the back of my mind and I am able not to go there. I used to wake up in the morning when my daughter woke up and I was so grumpy, like a big cloud in my head and i couldn't get rid of it. now when i get up in the morning i am not grumpy at all. i will go to a herbalist to make sure i am taking it properly. i also don't have the nervousness so much now. i will keep monitoring and see how it goes. but so far, it is a huge relief to not wake up and feel angry all the time.

I can relate to your days. I wake up some mornings and think what's the point. I have a three year old son who is the joy of my life a good wife and a great home......why would I have anxiety you would think!!!!! I just started taking SJW myself and I can already feel it working. It feels somewhat like Paxil, but not as strong. I hope it helps you.
Keep me updated on your progress.

Hello I hope you are doing great. Did you take a anti-depressant pill before? Did a Dr. prescribe sjw to you ? I started sjw on my own. I am not ready to go to a dr. I have a lways been a constant worrier. But I can honestly say that I think I have had some type of depression all through my teens and now at 28. My brain is always thinking and wondering about things and that causes me stress. It felt like a cloud over my head. It doesn't feel like it's there anymore. I don't sit there and think and think and overthink stuff. and i wake up in the morning so far now and i don't fill like this big grumpy cloud is pushing me down and i don't mind getting out of bed right away if my daughter wakes up. like i said before, i still feel like me, but all that worry and stress part is at the back of my head and i can control to ignore it now.
i am now also taking a vit b complex which i heard people take with sjw on here. i will wait for 3 weeks when my bottle is gone and then i will go to a dr or the herbalist...probably the herbalist to find out if i am taking it correctly. they will probably tell me to see a doctor. i just don't want to sound like i am a giver upper or a whiner.
i can really notice a good change though. so it makes me quite sure i have some type of disorder or depression which i should get checked out then. i just can't see how someone can diagnose depresstion or anxiety disorder or which one it may be?
what about you? how long have you felt depression or stress?

Liza,
I had to change my screen name, you're still talking to the same person.

Liza,
I've only been on SJW for about two weeks now, but it has made a difference. My anxiety has been in and out of my life since I was 17. My latest bout was triggered by a trip to california I had to make from the east coast. When I got back I was a basket case. I went to my Doctor and she put me on Paxil. I can't really knock it because at the time it was a life saver. However, it seemed to work too well........I didn't care about anything and my job started to slip and my sex life was dead. I was not anxious, but I had zero drive. I tried to go off of that cold turkey once.....big mistake! My anxiety came back even stronger, so I changed Doctors and my new one prescribed Serzone which helped, but it gave me IBS-D terribly. I went back to my Doctor and he prescribed something, I'd like to tell you what is, but I threw it in my medicine cabinet and decided to get off of Serzone slowly. I was fine for about three months and then my anxiety came right back out of nowhere. I decided to check the internet for information on alternatives and found this site. I did not consult my Doctor. I figured it's not in his best interest to have me take something he didn't prescribe. I have never been diagnosed with depression, just anxiety. I have had bad nerves since High School. I was in a close knit Catholic School for 8 years where everybody knew each other and little did I know that was a comfort zone for me. When I went to High School that's when it changed. I was overwhelmed by the number of new strange faces and size of the school. It seems senseless now that I think back. Since that time I have had anxiety problems on and off but it took me an additional 19 years to finally seek help. Along with aniety I also have IBS-D, a really nice by product of bad nerves.
That's my life in a nutshell....no pun intended.
Bill
