First of all this is my first time ever dealing with theses feelings. I am a only child 34 male. This all started a year ago with a health concern. I had hightned anxiety and depression and overall just didn’t feel good. I have had every medical test so that I could find somthing to blame it on. Nothing has ever came about medically. During this time my father attended suicide and my mother divorced him. So it just compounded the pain I was already dealing with. I have lost all motivation and drive. I am sooo tired and burnt out. I used to be the one that would be doing everything and always taking care of stuff. I have a great home, good job and a live in girlfriend. I just do t care about any of that anymore. I am a slug. I wake up in panic every morning for no apparent reason. I have started on celexa 10mg 4 weeks ago and nothing has happened. I take the occasional Valium to help with sleep but then I’m complexly the confused the next day. I have tri d yoga, accupunture, alternative medicine and western medicine. Are there any suggestions or hints out there for me? I feel so lost and alone.
Hi Michael
I'm sorry for what you are going through.
What is your Drs long term plan with you? Can he up your Celexa or put you on something different. Is your girlfriend supportive? Have you been to therapy? With all you have been through, talking to someone might help some....
Hope things get better for you soon.
Hello Michael.
Michael you said all of this started a year ago. So up until a year ago all was well. Right? Then you went through lots of test and they could not find physical cause of your issues but then all the anxiety started. Am I correct?

Yes I have been to therapy! It’s just seems like it’s her earl amxiety at this point which led to depression. I have actually felt a little better these last two days but wake up really foggy. I wonder if I should switch the time on taking the celexa. My evenings have been really good and almost normal.
All was well up to a year ago. Yes you are correct I have even had a sleep study done and all was well. I wake up foggy now. I wonder if I should switch the time of day I take the celexa my evenings have been pretty good! All I want to do is sleep in now!
Michael one very important thing that we don't want to gloss over is the suicide attempt by your father. If that was my father..I think that could have been the beginning of my anxiety and depression. Does this fit at all?
