Anxiety & Depression Run in the Family
Do anxiety and depression run in your family?
Anxiety Question:
Does anxiety and depression run in your family? Do you have it and how do you know?
My mother is sort of a hypochondriac, so my family has seen a psychologist on and off since I was 14 and before. I've been labeled ADD, LD, depressed, anxious which by now I am, and many more.
I was just wondering how others dealt with it.
Anxiety Answer:
Yes anxiety and depression run in my family and yes I have them.
If you think you might have a mental illness - such as anxiety or depression, you should educate yourself about the symptoms of the different illnesses so you can see for yourself if you need help.

Dealing with Anxiety Advice
My "Inner Critic" reduced to a dull roar
As a result of experiencing a severe mental/emotional disturbance about 10 years ago, I eventually came to understand that my thoughts were creating my life and therefore were creating my problem. Unfortunately no meditation, chanting, visualizing, writing goals, subliminal training, hypnosis, could stop these thoughts constantly pounding my brain with their negative message.
Now everything has changed for the better! I started listening to your "Dissolving Panic and Anxiety" CD religiously for 1 or 2 months, and then listened to a number of your other CD's which I will listen to throughout the day and each night. I am definitely feeling much better and I have been able to get myself back into "active" mode. The "Inner Critic" has been reduced to a dull roar and I can now consciously intervene when it gets too tough or won't shut up.
To those who are also dealing with the demons of an incessant "Inner Critic" I would say, "Keep pushing the 'play' button. It may take time, sometimes years, but it really works."
Thank you and best wishes!
