Welcome!
I just want to expand on HanSolo's excellent comment about antidepressants. They are indeed slightly constipating which has been a blessing for me. I take them to keep me depression free, the help with D is just an added bonus.
As far as anxiety, I very recently had an eye-opening experience. For years I've done all the right things to keep me in a good frame of mind, therapy, meditation, etc. But I found I was dreading an upcoming plane trip due to other health problems. My therapist prescribed a small dose of Xanax, an antianxiety drug, and MY GOODNESS what a difference. I felt like a normal person for the first time ever in my life! I had no idea that my level of anxiety was a) higher than normal, and b) easily treatable. I wish someone had told me!! I had been borderline agoraphobic, which I thought was just laziness, not wanting to go out. I was afraid to make phone calls, which I thought was laziness again, procrastination. I was nervous around other people, which I thought was shyness or fear of intimacy. Now, nothing fazes me! I go about my day effortlessly! What an absolute miracle!
I know it's not for everyone, but I just wanted to share my experience!
