In need of advice

I don’t know what too do, I’m 18 and I suffer from anxiety and I believe I might be depressed as well and I have constant thoughts of wanting to end my life and I’ve tried counselling before and it didn’t help. Anyone got any advice?

What type of counseling have you tried- one on one, group, etc? Also, have you been prescribed any meds?

Prescriptions aren't the cure so to speak but antidepressants can lower the lowest of the low feelings. I too have those thoughts but the medication has reduced those thoughts. I also take klonopin to help sleep. I have used them on occasion for social anxiety during the day. They make me tired so I try not to use them much.

You can google support groups in your area. I go to one for depression and anxiety and I find them helpful. It is good to get out of the house and be around people that you are comfortable with.

Also, there is an anxiety and depression support forum on this website that you can also join. There are a lot of people who are willing to listen. 😊
