I was listening on the Radio yesterday about this clinic That I recently went to for research studies. The woman who was talking about it made it sound like it was her answer to her prayer. Unfortunately, it didn't go down that way for me. The doctor at the clinic had diagnosed me and told me I have Anxiety depression and that I would be a good canidate for there research studies. I knew I had this depression quite sometime before I walked in. I didn't want to go on medication cause I was scared of what side effects might occur. Anyhow, I managed to take part in this research study. They paid me $50 each visit and told me to take there medication they were prescribing me. I started taking the meds and the very next day, I started vomited all day and I couldn't get out of bed til early on the evening. I thought I was a gonna. I went back the next day and told them what had happened and that I had to get out of the study. They let me out and from that day on I had sworn never to do such a stupid thing again. At least I learned my lesson the hard way.

Anxiety is a chronic and exaggerated feeling of worry or tension, even if there is little or nothing to provoke it. People who suffer with anxiety often worry constantly about their health, money, family, or career. Sometimes they simply experience feelings of nervousness, restlessness, and stress without knowing what is provoking these feelings. They may feel as if they are “keyed-up” or “on-edge” most of the time. Often they are unable to relax and enjoy pleasurable experiences because of their persistent worry. Even when they realize that they have no real reason to worry or that their level of worry is out of proportion to the situation, they are unable to relieve themselves of their fears.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety affects about 4 million Americans. Those who experience anxiety sometimes also struggle with depression or substance abuse. There is help available. Psychotherapy, prescription medication, and natural alternatives for tension relief are some of the options that may help those dealing with anxiety to cope.

I have suffered from anxiety all of my life. It was unfortunately passed down my family tree, and I got it. With the anxiety...I got depression. I don't know who wouldn't being anxious all the time like I am. I have been unable to leave my hometown for years, and sometimes have a hard time even going to the grocery store. I go to therapy once every two weeks and still have yet to find a way to get out of the cycle of anxiety and depression...
