Three weeks ago I had a disorder comprised of anxiety and major depression. Today, I do not.

How? How long was your disorder and what did you do to get rid of it?

Delighted you asked. Six years ago, I thought my way into an anxiety disorder and almost three weeks ago I began to think my way out of it. It was a gradual process that took about two weeks of factual analysis and relaxation.
I'm now completely calm, happy and confident that this disorder will never again return. It appears as if I have awoken from a hazy dream. The world looks and feels completely different, my thoughts are lucid and positive and I haven't felt like this since I was thirteen.
Its 2am, but I thought I'd login before bed to see if anyone had replied. I'm currently in the process of writing up the techniques I implemented in order to achieve success; although I suppose that could be done here. Its a formula. I want to help everyone. I'll need a decent hour though, but it'll be done.
I don't want to leave you with nothing, so for the moment I'll leave you with this:
Question: You must question everything. The solution to your issue lies within your own mind. A problem cannot occur without a reason, and where reasons are present solutions are too. Essentially, the cause defines the solution. Are you with me so far?

| Me too. I don't have an actual 'anxiety disorder' anymore, but I just can't get over it, still anxious in a normal way, & depressed. |

Thats natural, although with my new outlook I fear nothing and no-one. That is a fact.
Does your depression cause dis-order to your life?
Is it genetically inherited or does it occur from negative thinking?

| No, it wasn't genetically inherited, I used to be really happy. I was subjected to violence a while back which set off my anxiety, & I couldn't trust anyone for a while. I was scared it may happen again & again. But I began to realise that it was a one-off (rational thinking, which helped me get cured, but there were other things I did) & I feel a lot safer now, but depressed. I'm thinking more positive now, but I find life hard going. |

| I don't think he/she took any illegal substance because that can make anxiety worse. Yes, you have to think you're way out of it, rational thinking, you really have to listen to Melody of Rain, part of the reason why I got cured of an actual 'Anxiety disorder' was listening to what ex-sufferers told me to do to get cured. |

Again I am SORRY!
But my problems have completley ruined my life for nearly 20 years,you could not believe how ill I feel most days , and for some body to say that you could sort yourself out in 3 weeks is a complete joke in my eyes. I have been to hell and back and are still half way there.My physical symptoms are so chronic I can hardly function somedays that there is no way I can believe the words of someone like this.I have tried every trick in the book, so dont tell me that Melody of Rain is for real , because whoever they are they are talking a load of CR*P.

I know you've said you've tried every trick in the book, but the only people that can really help you are ex-sufferers. I'm one too. Sorry that you've suffered for so long, I think maybe my anxiety wasn't as bad, but these disturbing thoughts I used to have & the social embarrassment still hits me hard at times.
Sorry, but you have to start believing that you can get cured, that's a positive thought in itself to actually getting cured. |

You need to keep a couple of things in mind regarding your persistent problems. First of all, the depression you speak of is often just a residual effect of anxiety. Many people who experience anxiety tend to feel 'flat' and 'out of it' for some time after the REAL anxiety disorder is over. This can certainly feel depressing. The important thing is to be patient and let it pass while connecting yourself once again to the world around you. Just remember that this is something that won't go away quickly. It will take time. So be patient.
As for your other problems (ie social problems), remember that overcoming the anxiety disorder itself does not mean that these problems will go away. After all, your anxiety disorder was not caused by problems like social embarassment. Rather, it was caused by STRESS resulting from problems like social embarassment. So anxiety disorder CAN go away without dealing with problems like this. However, if you don't deal with these sorts of problems, you leave yourself susceptible to the return of anxiety disorder. |

You've just found your cure; positive thinking. Every word you wrote was negative which can only occur by either persistently taking the piss, or negative thinking. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume the latter, as I'm an optimist. You, appear to be of a pessimistic outlook which, if indeed true, is the cause of your 20 year long anxiety disorder.
Are you calling me a liar? Are you suggesting I would 'lie' to these people?
If so, what is your basis? Surely all solid conclusions necessitate a solid foundation, do they not?
I would appreciate answers, please. Do not unjustly defecate my name for I am here to help you.
I will now clarify, in case my statements are anything less than lucid. I said it took me about three weeks to come out of it an return to a comfortable state. I had to change my outlook. Trying every trick in the book wont help if you discontinue your efforts after not succeeding. You must try again.
At present, I'm back tracking through the pivotal thought process that ushered forth my liberation but I need people to pose me the right questions as frankly my memory appears to be only gradually improving which is because I was mentally stressed for such a long time.
Do not be envious though. I am not here to be complimented but as I have already stated and will so once again, I am only here to help and I believe I can. If not, prove it.

You DO have to realize that different people heal from anxiety differently. Some people (like yourself) can recover in a VERY short time. However, MOST people take ALOT longer than three weeks to recover. This is well documented by such experts in the field as Claire Weekes. The key thing to remember here is that anxiety is directly caused by stress. Negative thinking does not in itself cause anxiety disorder. It only causes the stress which causes anxiety disorder. Therefore, taking away negative thinking simply reduces this stress, which ALLOWS your mind to heal (notice I didn't say that it MAKES the mind heal). And this healing process takes time, which can vary from a few weeks to a few years. |

The truth in its entirety; you are completely correct.
Questions please.

I definitely did not take an illegal substance in an effort to return to my present state. In January I was arrested for cannabis possession and that was the last time I used an illegal substance. I used cannabis to temporarily ease my symptoms. I used nothing but positive thought - although I couldn't think for a long time in order to exit the situation. As soon as I calmed myself down physically, my mind began to function at optimum competence and within three weeks of analyzing [destroying] each and every negative thought I was cured.
