Hello

Hello, I'm a 20 year old female and suffer from anxiety and depression. My anxiety has recently spiraled out of control. I don't think I can fight this alone anymore.

You're not alone. Know exactly how you feel

Booksandtea, you never have to fight this alone. You need a therapist and possibly some medication. You will have to get a psychiatrist for meds and they will ask you questions about your symptoms . Don't be fearful, most of us with anxiety and depression have the same two things. You need someone to help you. Write often.Liti

Have you looked to a therapist of any kind? There are many methods to help you organizeyour mind a bit so you can come back from the onslaught.

You don'thave to go at it alone.

If there are any local support groups I would highly recommend that. You don't feel alone with your problems when you can talk to some other people with similar concerns.

You are not alone, many of us struggle everyday just like you. From experience I suggest you see a Psychiatrist. They can prescribe medication that will help. It will be baby steps at first, but you will get to the place of feeling better. Remember progress not perfection.

You can and you will. See a therapist and have a good support network. If you work, see if your HR department has EAP.
