Re: Nightmares, anxiety, shaking, depression. Help.
It sounds as if you suffer from seasonal depression (SAD), which is triggering panic symptoms. Do you have a history of anxiety/panic besides during the winter months?
I can understand your wanting to get relief at any cost, which would entail medication, but don't do it. In the end you will be sorry. They do more harm, no good, and are highly addictive.
Supplements that will help are:
Colloidal Gold: This supplement works in a three-fold way. It encompasses body, mind, and spirit. http://www.utopiasilver.com is a very good source. In fact, they have a first time buyer offer where you receive one bottle free for every 8 oz bottle ordered, but you must call them to receive this offer. After that, by inserting coupon code LR001, you receive a 15% discount if it is not on sale. Colloidal gold lifts one's spirits.
L-Tryptothan
I-Theanine
Trace Minerals. Make sure they are plant derived. These are also available from Utopia Silver the above coupon code will get you a 15% discount.
Bach Flower Remedies. Go through the list and pick products that relate to your particular symptoms.
Hawthorne Berry Syrup will stop a racing heart.
Look into iodine supplementation. I take SSKI and magnascent. You can get added information as to the benefits of iodine with regard to anxiety and panic conditions in the iodine forum.
During this time, make sure you do things to relax and to make you "happy" such as relaxation exercises and meditation. If you are not familiar with these, I will be happy to give you pointers. Also, the emotional freedom technique (EFT) should be of help. This works by tapping on certain acupressure points throughout the body.
I believe that these suggestions should be of tremendous help to you. Of course, continue with a healthy diet. Try to eat as much raw as possible. No sugars or refined foods.
My best to you,
