I have been In such a low mood and my anxiety is so bad so days I can't get out of bed because it's easier not to have to deal with the world i have the skin on my fingers bitten away they are so sore. I can't shake this sad mood at all I think to my self right tomorrow is a new day and i will be more positive but when tomorrow comes its back to square one please any one any advice xxx

    I am 33 yrs old and I'm going thru the same thing you are not alone 

    Do you feel like your whole body hurts? Even your breast ? 

    That's what I'm going thru.

    Try happy thoughts I know it's hard 

    Just know that you are not alone

      I think I have always had it to be honest was always a nervous shy child not really able to make friends. Was really strict about keeping my routines and things in a certain order. I have had CBT b4 which some what helped me but now I feel even worse it feels like I have let every one down coz i am now back to square one xxx

    Sorry to hear this . You are only 30 and have your life ahead of you.

    Mind my asking if the Prozac ever helped at all?

    It is known to cause depression so needs discussing with your dr as he may wish to review this med.  Diazepam.

    ​If you take it as you need it then this means you are suffering some withdrawal signs and symptoms which may account for the way you are feeling. Pls see your dr or request a telephone consultation at least. There is a lot of support on here..

      Yes it did for a while bit I have been on the 60mg now for over 2 years. I was given the diazipan because some times my anxiety is tht bad my hands shake I get all nervous and the doc thought it may help the physical end of my anxiety I am not on these long term just until I see the mental health team my doc said she isn't really in a believer in diazipan as they take the feeling away but it comes back.

    Hi Deborah. Is there anything that drives you to the point of feeling low? Thoughts? Triggers?
