Stay strong it's picking up the pieces what it feels like here I just am in the midst of it too

[Afraidmale in reply to Ronkoz]

Y does it feel like it's taking so long this time to get over. I was fine for years and then out of nowhere it hit me. I just want my life back.

Are you on any medication? Do you have any emotional support?

[Afraidmale in reply to Eliza2]

I'm on medication not sure how much it's helps and my support is not the best I'm just trying to hang in there.

[Eliza2 in reply to Afraidmale]

I know sometimes that's all you can do is try to hang in there. Sometimes everyday is a struggle. I get it. Which medication and how long have you been on it?

[Afraidmale in reply to Eliza2]

I'm currently on zoloft and effexor I've been on zoloft for about 10 years or so and the effexor I just started a few weeks ago.

[Eliza2 in reply to Afraidmale]

Did the Zoloft help when you first started it? Will you keep taking both ?

[Afraidmale in reply to Eliza2]

Yes I felt fine on zoloft for years I never had a problem until I stopped taking it 3 years ago and ever since then I been going through anxiety and depression on and off now.i don't know if I'll keep taking both or not.

[Eliza2 in reply to Afraidmale]

Zoloft works well for people who can take it. You may just have to stay on it.

[Ronkoz]

I will support you use this to vent at will

[Afraidmale in reply to Ronkoz]

Hey Matt. You said you were fine for a long time and then it came back. Sometimes identifying the "trigger" can help work through it. I'm glad you're here.

[Afraidmale in reply to ADAAadmin2]

Yes I was fine for along time all I did was take a couple of days off work to do things around the house and then I went back and this all started.

Are you on meds? I have had anxiety and depression for the past 8 months. Some days are better than others. Do you have a therapist ? It's really important.

[Afraidmale in reply to Ddorne]

I've been on medication for 10 years or so. And ya i have a counselor

Hi! My name is Brenda & I've posted a few times about my thyroid. However, this is a different problem. He now has me on Xanax because I'm dealing with several problems. I live with my mother who is 95 yrs. old & I'm 65. But now I'm concerned about some of the signs of dementia she may have. My sister also sees some of the same. Also, I'm disabled from an accident & it's really difficult for me to share some of the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning the house; but I do all I can. Mother still drives ..no problem but I do worry about her. I guess I just need some moral support & lots of prayers! Merry Christmas! Brenda

I would see a therapist that is what I do go on psychology today and look for one in your area

Hi Matt. You are not alone. I have been going through the same exact thing for the passed 6 months. We can definitely get our life back. Have you taken the step to see a therapist? I finally took the first step to see one. We are here to support one another. Do it for your little one.

[Afraidmale in reply to Jojoctz]

I have a therapist but things don't seem to be better I'm just here going through the emotions every day. I feel like I'm drunk all the time like it's depersonalization I don't know just hate all of this.

Hi! I've not posted for a while. I'm still on antidepressants (25 years+); now I am also on Xanax. .5 mg. Some of my problems are associated with a fall down stairs--stroke, displaced bones in foot, hair coming out & many more. I am so distressed. My faith & prayer life help me get through the day, plus the 8 different meds I'm on. I can't remember any happy days. Thank you! Brenda
