I need help

3 Replies

I have had anxiety and depression for 5yrs. I'm afraid of the anxiety so my nerves have gotten more sensitized. Im crying everyday and I'm scared. Im on meds but they are not helping. If I don't find someone who can help me with the thoughts I won't get better. Please help

I know it's hard. But you came to the right place if you need to chat and let things off your chest. If meds are not helping you can also talk to your doctor for alternative ways to keep your anxiety and depression under control

I’m afraid of the anxiety also. Meds didn’t help me either. Well, benzo’s do but they are just a band aid so I’m trying not to take them.

There is lots of good advice here on this site from reading through the posts. I’ve started working through a workbook, but I’m not good at journaling. I do think talking about what you are feeling and the thoughts do help. I’m not seeing a therapist because I can’t afford it.

If there’s anything I can do to help please message me.

There's a free app that helped me a lot called "feel better". Search it in the app store. There are also pretty affordable online therapy you can do for about $35-45 if you Google online therapy. But if you have a chemical imbalance it's hard to overcome that without adjustments to medicine I believe. Please tell your doctor you feel this way. They can't help if they don't know. I'm so sorry you are struggling with it. I know the feeling. ::Hug:: 🙏
