Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I feel like I'm drowning in my emotions. My depression is so overwhelming I feel like it's suffocating me. I also have severe anxiety. I am medicated but nothing seems to get rid of my symptoms. Medication has helped and I have talked to my doctor about changing things but she's very reluctant to do so. I'm afraid I'm not mentally here enough for my children and husband. I'm trying to find my happy place, but all the things going on in my life are stopping me from reaching a happy place.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction.

Get help. Look for a therapist and make that appointment. It's not too late to turn your life around. It's going to be okay. You just need to talk to someone.

It may also help you legally, too, if the judge sees that you have started therapy.
Good luck! It will be okay.
My mental health symptoms have also proven to be med resistant. Oh, how I envy the folks who can pop their med cocktail and step out into a normal, satisfying life without ever looking more closely at the root causes.
In my own case, psychotherapy programs and peer support have proven to be the more effective treatment. Pro support has been valuable, but the peer support is far more comprehensive. My pros are like reference books that never leave the library. My peer supporters are the ones who are in the proverbial trenches with me and there to proactively help me translate the pro theories into real world action.
This very forum is one of the nodes on my peer support network. I hope it serves you as well as it has served me.
Welcome aboard.
