Hello all.

I know it's against the thread rules to ask for medical advice of any sort, but for the past couple of weeks my anxiety and depression have been acting up really bad because of situations with where I'm living I have no control over.

I have already seen my doctor a week an a half ago, and he has put me back on medication, but it doesn't seem to do anything more than make me feel like a zombie. It doesn't even seem to take the edge off.
I have to wait another 2 weeks before I can go back to get "re-evaluated".

So Playgrounders, I'm looking for some non-medical suggestions on how I can try and keep things in my head from getting out of control.
I've tried meditating, doing things that relax me, talking things out with people and the like, and they help for a little while (a few hours) but then things start getting on top of me again, so please, any help would be great.
