how bad your anxiety and depression got for u? And do u take medication now? And if yes do it helps u? Am just trying to understand and try to stick with my medication with hope that things will get better. Because right-now I want to give up tried of struggling daily and my son football game today and am not going because of anxiety and panic attacks I feel like my life it worthless and I feel helpless

I feel for you, I have just come out of a long stretch of panic attacks, depression and anxiety, it took a long time about 1 1/2 years time, but the psychiatrist I now have put me on med's that did what was needed to get me well. I will take them willingly every day, it can take a while to get to the right one(s) and strength. I am now on Gabapentin 300 mg for anxiety and sleep, Zyprexa 5 mg, for mood and sleep. Viibryd 20 mg for clinical depression. I now feel wonderful and am so happy to have myself back. Only other med I take is thyroid which can help with depression, has your Dr. checked your thyroid? I am 76 and gone thru a lot of hell in my life thru the depressions and will gladly take med's to keep me sane. Members in our family tend to live long so I want to be well to enjoy my life.

Hope this is of help to you, have you tried going to a support group, they are great and generally free. Get all the help you can, you deserve to be happy, and your son needs your support. I send you love and hope, come talk to us here we will help you if we can. Sprinkle 1.......xx

No support groups I have a psychiatrist who gave me Prozac and Xanax and I have appointment to see a therapist on October 16th my anxiety is always through the roof and being anxious all the time makes me even more depressed and am just struck and my only safe place is my house I can’t even go shopping with my mom no-more because of always panicking and soon is I get the confidence to go to the store in walk in my anxiety goes crazy I always end up leaving out very quickly leaving my mom and whoever else came with me in the store I go to the car and cry and the feeling of helplessness and worthless come to me and than I started feeling so alone and the first thing comes to mind is go get a drink u know it will make u feel better and u want be anxious but I know my alcohol mind is lieing to me am trying my best to stay away from alcohol and weed because I want to feel better sometimes I just want to give up and stop trying because is to exhausting and frustrating and I don’t see nothing getting better for me right now tried of going through hell daily really need some encouraging words to get me through this
