    Hello Sue

    You need to give yor medications time to work, given time over the next three weeks yo will hopefully start feeling a little better. Sad to say there are no quick cures here you just need to have patience.

      Try and compartalise your fears and concerns and move on until you feel able to address those problems you have. In that way you wil be able to address each problem in small bites. This will encourage you to move on as your problems become less You need to gain some form of encouragement and confidence to move on

      All the best

    You are fortunate that you have managed to find some normality.  I am full of anxiety, cannot get it down no matter what i try.

    what are you taking which has helped you get a little window?  Everything i try has made me worse so far.  

    I have been seeing psych for over a year and i dont think he has got it right yet.

      Sertraline is the gold standard according to my dr. So hopefully after a few weeks you will feel better.  Lots of people find it helpful, its just a pity it takes so long to get into your system.

      keep posting and see if you begin to feel a bit better.

      It does yes but as my doctor said to me when you've hit rock bottom it takes time to get back up and i know hes right im just being too hard on myself! Do you have medication for your anxiety as it sounds like you're having a really bad time too xx

      Yes, theyve tried me on several anti deps but none have helped.  I am currently tapering off mirtazapine as instructed by psych, he says i only have anxiety not depression, im not somsure, hes new and has only seen me three times.  Old psych gave me diazepam for the anxiety, now i take 5mg at night and 2mg in day but the lowering of the mirtaz is causing extra anxiety and imthinkmthats why i am not good.  Have asked to see psych soon but no appts.
