Close Anxiety
Let's see. I'm 26 and was diagnosed with depression at age 16 - though the older I get the more I realize I suffer from anxiety above anything else. In fact, I'm starting to think my anxiety is preventing me from getting a good job - despite having a Bachelor and a Master's degree. I'm looking for people to talk to and ways to deal with these feelings.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- It worked fairly well when I was on it, but I didn't have health insurance for over six months so I was without it. Very scary. My appointment is in 10 days though!
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- It helps burn off some of the anxiety I've been feeling - that is when I'm not too depressed to go!
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- I've been taking Lexapro for nine days now and already I've noticed a dramatic decrease in my panicked thoughts.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionIt's been 10 years and it still hasn't gone away.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- When I'm on it, it works fairly well.
Open Sexual Abuse
I was molested by my father between the ages of 8-11. He was arrested shortly after and has been in prison for the last 15 years.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I was in therapy from ages 11-13 then again from 16-17. In all honesty, I could probably afford to go back to therapy to deal with issues of anxiety and depression.
