anxiety and depression...desperate?!

The only constant in the universe is change.

Over time the stressors in your life will change; how your body reacts to certain medications will change; the availability of new medications will change and the people with whom you have the opportunity to interact will change.

I won't question your assertion that as things are today, your problems are unsolvable. But the situation may look very different in 3 months, 12 months, 24 months, etc.

In the meantime, (a) keep trying and (b) pause each day to appreciate the small, good stuff. Maybe it's just a nice day, you've got a great cup of coffee and there's a really good song on the radio. Maybe it's getting geeked out about some blockbuster movie coming out in a month that you can't wait to see. The point is to recognize that a lot of good moments usually go by unnoticed. Notice them.

I'm in the same boat as you with the "currently unsolvable" issues related to anxiety and depression. I'm continuing to try and stopping to savor the good moments.

Dear, I've struggled with anxiety and depression a lot too. Many of my best (and only) close friends have moved away and have lost touch with me in my life, as one example, and I've gone years with basically no friends but plenty of mockers...I've totally been where you are.

Thankfully though it doesn't have to stay that way. I promise there IS hope.

If counseling is not helping you may need a medication. I have had these feelings off and on for as long as I can remember. For me, I have found that medication is necessary and improves the quality of my life. Not that life is always roses, but I feel relief. My primary care doctor prescribes my meds so getting in to see her is easy. But, it does take several weeks for them to help you start feeling better.

HI, I wish I could give you a hug. To tell you that everything will be better. You have taken the first step in getting help, but dont give up. YOUR too important to someone. Get more help until you find something that will help.
I wish you the best, and remember to breath, it always helps me.

Just a mom that cares

i used to feel exactly like you do right now, but i hate feeling weak. i tried councelling once and i didnt like it, found out i have mild paranoia slight depression and cant stand crowds and want to hide from the world. But i got sick of it, so i set my self a challenge, face your problems. its like when someone says face your fears for example, if someone is afraid of the dark sit in the dark till you over it. But for you, you need to go in to crowds, the perfect thing is to get a girlfriend, force ya self to interact with her want to get to know her, if she wants to meet you, take her to the pub, have a few drinks or have 1 or 2 before you go out to settle your nervs. but by getting a girfriend will help with you confidence, because she will tell you what you want to hear make you feel good. Also find someone you can really talk to share your thoughts, write it down on paper you dont have to show anyone but it gets it of your chest and mind. im still the same but im alot better then i was before. i have someone i can talk to about it all, you just need to believe in your self and confince your mind that your a stronger person, and your not weak. also distract your mind when you start to think badly, telly a film, writing something out, walk, music x
