Severe anxiety and depression here's what I've tried...

Postby Wyllowdaemon » Tue Apr 16, 2019 6:53 pm

I'm coming here because quite frankly I'm getting beyond desperate. I have just recently started therapy, and I'm hoping it will help but right now the anxiety and depression are extremely bad. I'm taking several medications: Klonopin and Budpirone for anxiety, Trazodone for sleep and Cymbalta which I hate and am hoping to get off of. I've been having suicidal ruminations, severe anxiety and paranoia about my job, and I'm losing interest in everything. I'm withdrawing and I just can't deal with any other stress at the moment. I m trying hard to get a handle on this. What can I do.

I'm not sure, except to remember that, 'this too shall pass'.

I'm unmedicated, save for the case of beer I've been working on. I'm in the same general boat as you, anxiety about my work is not only justified at the moment (for a change, I'm also very paranoid) but extreme. I don't know what's going to become of me, atm.

Suicide ideation... I mentioned that in the OCD forum, just a little bit ago. Having a lot of that, yes. A desire to escape. I don't really wish to be dead. I think. It just seems like a nice escape, at the moment.

You're taking meds, and going to therapy. Something I envy, right now. I think giving those a change to help, is the best thing you can do at this time- just stay the course. I... am very tempted to try and get some professional help, myself. Like you, I don't know how much more I can take. One thing I've found, however, is that we can take a lot more than we think we can. I think because a lot of times, we don't have much of a choice about it. I remind myself, or try to, that it could always be worse.

If you are able to, it may help to go to therapy more frequently until you feel an improvement.

Also, going to a support group of peers with your condition can be of substantial help.
