I have been suffering from anxiety for years. I feel hopeless and feel that no medicine is going to work for me. I am lonely and scared all the time. I am tired of living my life like this. I am also an recovering alcoholic due to the anxiety. I just want so badly to feel happy. I have so much to be grateful for. Whenever I try a new med. I get so scared that its going to make me feel funny or something. I feel crazy. I feel like I'm the only one going through this. I've tried many meds and therapy. I just feel like giving up. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

just dont give up. I have felt the very same way even worse. I know what your going through. giving up is not the answer. Hang in there brighter days are coming
I too was at a point where I felt like no doctor, therapist, social worker,aa sponser, friend or relative had the slightest iota of what I was going through or how to help me. I admitted myself to a mental hospital where I was treated like I was overreacting which was even worse. And I also became a raging alcoholic as a result of such severe anxiety that I couldnt feel normal unless I had a few drinks.
It will get better but you have to be proactive. Do one thing new that you have never done before. For me it was taking a yoga class. Do something just for you and have faith that other people, like myself have been exactly where you are. I\'m sure you can offer help and guidance to others on here as well, including me. Take Care
