Newbie Intro

[Robinrenae]

Hi everyone! I'm Robin, nice meet you all. I have suffered with anxiety since 15 years old. The depression came in my early 20's. I've been on lots of depression medications over the years. I'm currently on lexapro and my doctor has increased my dosage from 10mg to 20 mg and added ativan 1mg in the morning and .5mg at night.

I was managing my symptoms ok most of the time until last year when my then 18 year old son who has severe autism became sick with h pylori and an impaction. He was so sick for 9 months, my heart was breaking over and over every day for him and I almost had a nervous breakdown. Since then my anxiety has been the worst it's ever been in my entire life. The meds are helping some but I still don't feel like myself and I feel hopeless a lot. I'm trying really hard to be positive but it's a daily struggle that I some times lose. I came here to talk to people who really understand what I'm going through and hopefully help others to feel understood too........The struggle is real, but remember roses can grow thru concrete.

Love and light ❤

Hi Robin, I’m sorry to hear this is happening to you. My nephew has severe autism and I see how trying it is for my sister and her husband. Your post called out to me.

I’m also currently going through my lowest point with depression and anxiety and it’s been so hard to go about my day to day life as if everything is normal. The struggle is definitely real and I hope you are able to find solace here with people who feel the same way.

Thank you for you kind response. Tell your sister and brother in law hi from a fellow autism warrior.

Since we are both at the bottom right now maybe we can help each other up a little. I look forward to talking with you more ink
