been in that type situation many years, anti-depressants work but give bad side effects to many, benzodiazepams are pretty effective,you need less anxiety to work on the other aspects of your life, we all NEED TO FEEL WE ARE WINNING, however bad it is we need that little success or bit of 'normality' to help us, coming on here is something that helps
