I'm sorry Pocha45....you seem to be stuck in a very bad place...if the meds your doctor is giving you to help and they are not helping..I would go back to your doctor....You need support and I'm glad your sharing here.

There's absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed about your life. This isn't something you chose. It's a condition that was imposed on you by your own body. If it helps, I completely understand what it's like to have your life fall apart around you. I was hospitalized two years ago for severe depression and suicidal ideation. A friend effectively saved my life by getting and keeping me on the phone then making arrangements to get me admitted. Over the course of the following two weeks, I lost my marriage, my home (she kicked me out), and my job, and I've spent the last two years getting myself back on my feet, healthy again, and slowly piecing my life back together. I've had to work hard to find the right doctors, the right treatment programs (something I'm STILL working on for my anxiety), form new social and support groups I can rely on. I've had a difficult time, as well, holding down a consistent, stable job because of my anxiety, but I keep trying. It HAS been worth it, even through all the pain and struggle. So I encourage you to not give up. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time, or even one breath at a time. Find the smallest unit of measurement you can handle to get you to the next one, and just focus on that. Keep breathing, keep putting one foot in front of the other, even though it might feel excruciating to do so. Remind yourself that you are loved, that you are valuable, even if you don't always believe it. Find even just one person you can trust to rely on, to support you when you can't support yourself. I promise you that even though it's hard, it IS worth it. There is joy and happiness to be found even amid all the pain and trial. And if you have no one else to talk to, you are always more than welcome to message me. I know what it's like to feel alone and cast aside, and no one who suffers what we do should EVER have to go through something like this alone. You are NOT alone. Remember that.
