Depression and anxiety

[readinginthedark]

Hi everyone, I am new here. I got diagnosed with social anxiety and depression a while ago. Things were supposed to get better, but so far, things are getting worse. I am not sure what to do. Does anyone have any advice.

I can suggest two books: Be Calm is one; the other is DARE. I've read both recently and I'm doing so much better at controlling my anxiety.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Finding a good counselor is key I have found to working through anxiety and depression. My heart goes out to you. I suffered with depression for 25 years. For over ten years now i have been free of depression so please keep fighting. My faith in Jesus had everything to do with my healing. I have found that all the junk I once worried and cared about was not mine to handle and giving it over was a turning point. There is usually a trigger to anxiety and depression working with a good therapist can help you get to the understanding of what that is and then starting from there and working forward is something I have found helpful. Praying for you.
