Hello . Melissa! I can notice you are in big suffering and just you know what you’ve been feeling. Do you have a psychotherapist of trust? I’d recommend you to go find some cognitive therapist. I’m a psychology student and at the office I make internship, we treat people by using cognitive behavior therapy. We teach people with panic disorder, general anxiety and depression about how their disorders work and the importance of their thoughts and beliefs on the disorders. A good thing to when you start feeling you will panic, try breathing inner per 4 seconds, keep the air per 4 seconds and release the air counting up to 5.

can u make an appointment with a counselor ? THE TYPE OF DOCTOR THAT knows these drugs the best is a psychiatrist. they know what to do also. if u are having a panic attack, go to you tube and search for " Stop panic attack now!" she walks u thru it and helps u calm down. shes has had many panic attacks in the past. theres many meditations on panic, anxiety, DEPRESSION, breathing etc !
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! :heart:

I have a psychotherapist but she tried to put me in a crisis center bc im having panic attacks i also do theropy I’m so scared I’m never gonna get better

i have same as you. Makes every day so hard. theyve tried so many anti deps, i just dont tolerate them. ive ended up on diazepam alone. thinking of trying a hmeopathic doctor. CBT was rubbish, just told me all the things i already know and cant overcome. i think its suitable only for more minor cases. pity because it might have saved me hundreds of pounds if id known that first

Hi Melissa you are not alone even though you may think it. Patrik is right, cognitive therapy is the way fwd. I have suffered with severe anxiety since I was a child and it is only now I am getting to grips with it and I am 65!! Everyday I challenge my thoughts and most days I will put myself into a situation I feel uncomfortable doing no matter how small. I have to work extremely hard because at the end of the day it is down to me. I have grown in leaps and bounds and my confidence is growing every day although I still have more challenging to do. One baby step at a time.

how are you today MELISSA? it is so hard trying to get through all this when you feel no better day after day. i too have tried countless meds for anxiety and depression and none have worked for me. ive done over 20 cbt sessions, no help. ive tried acupuncture, hypnosis and mindfulness. every single day is a challenge and you never seem to feel better. i wish i could help you but all i can do is sympathise and say keep in touch, you can pm me if things are bad.

I’m even on xanax and they don’t work either I fill like I’m never gonna get better I’ve lost all hope

I care. Many on this site feel, or have felt, what you feel. This is an ILLNESS. It is not who you are, or who I am. I am praying for you to find what works best for you. Prayer is very powerful, and helps me greatly through the days of despair. God bless you.

hi melissa please read the book hope and help your nerves end anxiety by claire weekes..

thank you I pray but I fill like I’ve let God down that’s why I’m like this it’s been going on for a yr now and I’m no better so I’m losing hope…i have panic attacks around my husband but he makes me fill safe idk why I attached myself to him I don’t want him outta my sight

Don’t worry; you will get a ride soon. Don’t lose the energy of your mind.

the depression is crippling and the anxiety is so wearing. i cannot let hubby out of my sight, im scared i might do something silly. i dont know where to turn as these anti depressants havent worked for me and psychiatrist has gone through many. i feel there is no answer
