Hi
Obviously if you have severe depression then fine, I have had anxiety disorder and if you'd have been on the old forum long enough you would have known how bad I was, they tried me with tablets but they made it worse and I didn't really want to take them anyway just everytime I went to the doctors they were trying to shove them at me, at one point in my anxiety I did the bare minimum and just spent the rest of the time in the armchair as I was scared to move, so it wasn't mild anxiety at all.
I didn't mean as if you are ignoring it you are just prolonging it. I personnally didn't fancy pumping my body full of chemicals when I have managed to do what I have posted. Like you said each to there own, but I chose not to live my life that way and to do something about it, soul searching, thinking more positively, I would never be working, Being Chair of a finance commitee on the governing board and secretary to the PTA at my childrens school, if I hadn't taken the bull by the horns and got on with it.
Don't get me wrong I still get anxious and I still get missed beats, fuzzy beats, all sorts but I get on with it now and don't sit there worrying about each and everyone of them, I would be a lier if I said sometimes they didn't bother me, but I've had to accept this is how my body is and thats that, instead of thinking I just want to be normal again why do I get these all the time, maybe this is normal and why waste my life worrying about it all the time.
Please don't think I getting at those of you who do take anti-depressants as about 6 years ago I was put on seroxat, and I felt ok for a while, but even though my doctor said they were not addictive it took me months to get off them, then my heart started missing beats more and the anxiety was still there so I just prolonged the anxiety, yes I felt ok for about 6 months, but it didn't help in the long run.
Take Care
