Im new to this online community but I am desperately seeking help. Im 26 years old and feel very tired and worried at all times. It affects me everyday and I just dont know what to do. Im on antidepressants but it doesnt seem to work. Ive gone to CBT but felt like that was a waste. What can I do?

Maybe try talking to your doctor about highering your dosage. Or go to counseling more often. I'm sorry you are struggling. I suffer from depression and anxiety every single day as well.
Hi Vonnah, thank you for responding. Im currently on 40mg of my medications and we arent sure what to do from here. How do you cope with depression and anxiety on a daily basis?
I'm on 20mg but i don't think it has helped that much. I'm 19 and has had depression since 12 but i don't think i have really found a coping method to be honest. I guess i would say listening to music helps and going shopping. Usually when I'm depressed i listen to songs with more meaningful lyrics and sometimes the songs have a dark mood but it helps me sometimes. Its hard to explain. I listen to indie/alternative. Then other times when my mood is kinda neutral, i will listen to happy songs that will help lift me up and stay positive. I hope that helps at least a little.
Thank you for that advice. Im 26 and have had this since I was 20/21 so not quite as long as you. I hope through these blog posts we can help each other feel better!
I'm about to write my long post about my whole story but yes i believe we can help each other and find other people as well! Its my first day on here and this is an amazing website to help people who are struggling. And my opinion is no matter how long someone has had depression or anxiety than another, it is just as equally important.
