I know how you feel, but things will get better for us, do you take anti depressants

Yes im on week three of zolft.. i just quit talking clonazepam cold turkey.. i was on 0.5mg for about 3 months.. the clonazepam really helped but i found i wad getting dependent on it.. so i was put on gabapenten to take the edge of the withdrawals.

Just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. Lately I have been feeling the same way. My anxiety/depression as been out of control. I swear for every good day, I have 4 bad ones.

My job is semi-stressful as well. Do you see a therapist. I have one it helps me a little to tall someone, I always feel better after a session the problem is it's only once a week so I feel like the rest of the week I am stuck dealing with my anxiety.

Yes i was seeing one.. i couldent justify the 130$ i was spending at the time on my therapist.. i felt like it was getting me know where.

I have had 6 different therapist until I found one that I like but there are days where I feel as though it doesn't help either. I know what my issues are. I just can't seem to get past them.

Yup its a unique feeling our bodys make... iv struggled with alcohol addiction for about 7 years... only now its gotten worse after iv quit drinking.. i know now why i drank so much was to mask these feelings. But in the end all it dose is make it worse the next day. Im feeling good about myself im not drinking its good for my health and all but now just to fix my mental health would be great.

Congratulations on quitting drinking, you should be proud of yourself. My only addiction is smoking. I probably would have drank but I have 2 daughters that I won't let down. Instead I just take it day to day and hope that it will be a good one.

I smoke aswell.. its also not good for anxiety either lol. But one step at a time, one day ill quit.

[Whattodo26 in reply to Whattodo26]

[Smile25 in reply to Whattodo26]

Lol, yea me too. I keep telling myself the same thing, I will quit one day and I have heard it's bad for anxiety.
