Of course, you'll hear a lot of people say that it'd be best to talk to a therapist. Some of us believe in them, some of us don't, do what you think is best for you. That goes for medication too.
Here is a good place to go: www.dailystrength.com I'm AbstractSprite on there, if anyone wants/needs a support group outside of Gaia, that is the perfect place to go.
They are not licensed professionals, but sometimes they are a good place to go in the time of need.
What I can suggest to you, and what everyone else can is posted below...

Stuff that had worked for me:
Friends - understanding always helps
Medication - Lexapro, it takes the edge off of the anxiety and takes care of the depression...my depression comes from my severe anxiety
I still have some anxiety attacks...
Most people don't like it because they can still feel anxiety attacks.
I like it because I can work through my anxiety attacks, but not have panic attacks.
The way I see it, anxiety attacks come before panic attacks. The anxiety attack is when you start getting keyed up, and the panic attack is the feeling of the point of no return.
religion - when I have faith
time - when my brain isn't eating me a live
alone time - when I'm falling over myself in depression
therapy - when the therapist isn't there to enjoy herself speaking and sounding smart...oh and thinking she knows what she's talking about because she spent 6 to 9 years in college studying a bunch of words...
Stuff that hasn't:
Friends - pestering doesn't
Lexapro - Once my cat died(only 2 weeks ago)
She was 15, I knew her my whole life. I got thrown into a deep depression.
Medication - Citalpram, what you have to realize is that not all medication is made for everyone, it depends on the person and the results do vary
When I took that crap I saw blood, guts, and gore everywhere and I became suicidal
One thing that I never am - suicidal... I don't believe in it, it's an easy out, and I'm all about being stubborn
That crap made me feel it without doing it... it was ******** weird and scary as hell
My family - my sister is a b***h, she only cares about herself, she physically,verbally, and emotionally abused me...she's also one of the ones that made me claustrophobic
my brother - he still creeps me out even though he's no longer the same person, he gets made when I bring up the past, and he has a bad temper. Did I mention he was the one that sexually abused me? OH, and he's the other half of the totem poll that made me claustrophobic. Hello anxiety, good-bye sanity.
My parents, loving, but don't understand the first thing about me
my granmother - verbally abused me...that and she's just a b***h

They aren't licensed professionals, but they are an online support group who have helped me in the past.
