I Can’t Get Better.

[Meyer_Gdmnx]

Hi guys I’m just done. I feel like I’m never going to get better no matter what I do. I just feel so comfortable with the anxiety and stress now but not in a good way like it’s just a natural part of my life that I accept but again not in a good way.y former therapist said challenge thoughts but I said I don’t really have any thoughts or none that come into my head nothing really does. Who makes me fearful of numerological damage from my folic acid deficiency (despite my GP not mentioning it as a possibility I found out about that on the web) I can’t bring myself to take anti anxiety medication or any medication for that matter. But even so this whole thing just feels so impossible to change it’s so so deeply ingrained in me as a person I wake up everyday feeling not massively awful or good at all just nothing really can’t garner any possible emotions. Everything just seems to perpetually go wrong. I have constant stress I can’t seem to get rid of no matter what I just feel lost and out of ideas

I don’t want to push you in any direction, but when I was so low with depression and anxiety, I was so against medication but then I realized that it was the only thing left to try before something bigger like inpatient treatment. So I decided that I wanted to get better before it got any worse so I started medication and have been doing a lot better. I only started medication 8 weeks ago, and I still have bad days every once in a while but I’ve been doing better.

Thank you so much for your reply I really appreciate it. Unfortunately taking pills is part of my anxiety issue as in I have a massive fear of it. In some ways I’ve improved quite a lot I’ve not had a panic attack in over a year I tend to not have many anxiety attacks anymore it’s just a matter of not feeling good

I really struggled with taking medication at first but it gets easier.

I struggled with med's when first put on them, Prozac it was good for me, I had a few minor side affects and they wore off. I got to functioning properly and every day I popped the pill and said "Thank You". It worked good for me for 10 years til I built up a tolerance, so was then switched to Zoloft same thing, gave me another 10 years of peace and function, after that I have been on different med's and am now settled on Cymbalta, which is good for both depression and anxiety and I have my old self back. So I do the same thing, I pop the pills and say "Thank You", it is so nice to function in top gear. The only time I think of my pills is at the time I need to take them, and the thought does not create fear. So give it a try it is worth it. I wish you well, sending courage, strength, love and hugs.....Sprinkle 1......
