How many times have you read on the Internet pleas to 'help me calm down'. Often these stories are seemingly banal about the pressures of family life, relationships, work problems and so on.

Others are horrific where violence threatens to rip family life apart and physical and sexual assault are no strangers in those households. But the pleas are heartfelt and we can see that even banal problems can lead to great distress and wreck one's nerves. Who wouldn't be stressed out and anxious in a case like that?

Then you get all the advice on the forums but one is always constant, it seems to me. That is to get stuck into the present, leaving the past and the future to their own devices. That is great advice because once we start on that thread, we can shake off the worries by getting involved in some physical activity.

There are many reasons why this is good advice if I want help to calm me down. The first is that the body relaxes and is focused on the physical and the mind frees itself up.

Another reason is that the endorphins are released. These are the good mood hormones and they can leave you feeling better, less stressed and anxious and above all in a better mood and able to face what is thrown at you next.

When I needed help to calm me down, I read a great book by Pema Chodron which is called :- 'When Things Fall Apart. Heart Advice For Difficult Times'. Understanding what we go through when stressed out and anxious and how it can help us to get out of tunnel at the other end is crucial.

Do not be influenced one way or the other by the Buddhist slant because this book gave me great advice when it really did help me, and I learned techniques to help me relax in the middle of all the chaos and learned how not to panic.

But when I also need supplements for depression and anxiety I use herbal remedies. The first reason is that I am convinced that these are sufficient for my needs as I do not wish to go down the medication path with anti depressants. The most popular ones are St. John's Wort and th Passion Flower.

Then I know that with some lifestyle changes, I can make great progress and the plea, help me calm down, becomes less urgent and pressing.

Find out what the alternatives are for curing depression which will enable you to live a normal life again. Click on the website to discover safer and gentler ways of coming to terms with stress and learn how I learned advice on how to help me calm down.
