Did/does anyone else have trouble controlling the anxiety and depression?

I am probably doing way too much mental back tracking here, but I keep thinking to myself I should not have been focusing so much on the sexual sides last year and worried more about the mental ones.

In the weeks leading up to me being forced to admit myself at work. The anxiety and depression had been building up so much that it was probably obviously visable by my demeanor that I was going through shit. I find myself thinking, would it have been possible for me to focus and calm myself… to psych myself into being relaxed…

I don’t know. I do know I asked for FMLA (unpaid medical leave) twice and they tried to talk me out of it, due to it being too complex to acquire… I wish I would have pushed for it… 12 weeks off spending time around family and friends might have helped.

Maybe I should have asked for a less demanding assignment.

Obviously I should have not been writing anything in emails about my condition or suicidal inclanations on my computer even if it was in my personal email account.

What happens, happens and my lawyer tried to counsol me by saying to me that I couldn’t have done anything because the propecia was fucking me up…

I always felt I was a very strong person mentally but finasteride tears you right down and hard. They should start giving it to terrorists at Gitmo to break them and get information.

Anyone else have any luck controlling the mental side effects while they were going through the worst of it?

the mental sides suck man, a few things that have brought mild relief …

apple cider vinegar (seems to have helped insomnia a bit as well)

fish oil (mercola sells a high quality krill oil)

probiotics (i truly believe it has helped the overall situation, including mental, and mercola makes a great one, but i have read making your own sour kraut for example, which is fermented, contains huge amount of good bacteria)

a good clean diet

none of this is a cure, obviously, but i think it may have brought me some mild relief … everyone is different, but i would recommend all of the above … again, these are not cures man, they are band aids, at least for me, but they are worth a shot … i am going to try your alpha blocker asap i think by the way

feel better my friend
