    Hey have you tried an antidepressant? Im on zoloft. Ive been on it almost 4 weeks still struggling with anxiety but 4 weeks ago i couldnt eat i cried all day everyday couldnt sleep at all. Now im eating sleepin better. Still have a cry here and there but def better. Im hoping each week i will get better and better as antidepressants arent supposed to start working from 4 to 6 weeks. Trust me i know how hard it is to push through. But we will get better. Think of it like the flu you feel like crap but you know it wont last forever.

    Hi Cyril - you sound like a teenager with some serious anxiety problems. It doesn't sound like your parents are being very helpful right now, although you do mention appointments with various doctors who have said you are well.

    The trouble is that you don't believe the doctors. This is an anxiety disorder and you would be helped by therapy/counselling.

    At your age meds are not a brilliant idea, although some people do obviously benefit from them. Your doctor may be able to judge this. if you are not keen on your family doctor you could change with your parents' help.

    are there counsellors at your school?

    Are you seeing doctor and therapist? Are you on meds? A fast acting xanex or kalonipin could be helpful in managing the immediate affects. Perhaps a pain killer for migraines could also help.

    I have done yet MR because no one let me to do it cuz they say that there is no need for this...I have CT appointment for 21.09 but i doesnt give me anything and because of my past now everything i get is anxiety or deppresion and i just dont have any support u know...My parent are from those "hard" people who dont go to doctor for anything and just are confident that i am fine i say dot i would've have some more serious symptoms if i had some hard disease , doctors agree with this but its just so hard because i dont even have who to talk to i just listen music whole and you know feel depresed...

      Well, you are in a hard spot. I would try school resources, nurse and they can recommend a therapist or psychiatrist (perhaps at no cost to your parents). That's your best bet for relief. School sends you to ER they have to listen at that point. Just saying. You obviously need relief and you may have to inconvenience a few people to get it. But if you start to feel better because you ruffled a few feathers, then it's worth it. I had to tell people I wanted to hurt myself before anyone took me seriously. Not recommended for you,  but you get the point.

      I'm not surprised you're nervous. It doesn't sound like you have a useful support system at the moment. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.

      Therapy is very likely your best option, and staying with the forum here, to get support. Most people here understand very well how you're feeling.
