I am so sick & tired of feeling anxious I just hate this. I go through every day waking up and fighting my way through the day. Today I am so wound up I dont know which way to turn !! I have had anxiety /depression for about 6 years or more and am just fed up . I thought meds would help more than they have . I feel like crawling in a hole and never coming out. This is so sad for me as I know there is a life out there I would give anything to live . I am married , have 3 wonderful children, and 2 beautiful grandbabies. I am not enjoying them the way I want and need to . I dont know how to keep going , I am tired . I beleive in God , but I just dont think he is listening to me . I have all this but feel so lonely and sad. I feel worthless as well as a big burden to the ones I love so desperatly love . I just hate the way I bloody well feel . It is so painful ! I just want to feel normal whatever that is .

" If I were you, I would talk to your doctor and tell him/her that whatever meds you are on, are not working. It's so miserable to have to feel anxious all of the time. I was once where you are and it is awful. I still get anxious but nothing like it was a few years ago. I sure hope you can start feeling better soon. xxxxxx "

" How many med changes have you been through? Sometimes you have to try several before you find the one that works for you.

" I think we can all relate to what you are saying. Here are some tips to help you deal with anxiety.
Remember that although your feelings and symptoms are frightening, they are neither dangerous not harmful.
Understand that what you are experiencing is an exaggeration of your normal reactions to stress.
Do no fight your feelings or try to wish them away. The more willing you are to accept them, the less intense they will become.
Stay in the present. Be aware of what is happening to you rather than concern yourself with how much worse it might get. Don't add to your panic by thinking about what "might happen" If you find yourself asking "what if" tell yourself "so what"
When you find yourself thinking about fear, change your "what if" thinking. Focus on and perform some simple, manageable task.
Notice that when you stop thinking frightening thoughts your anxiety fades.
Be proud of the progress you've made. Think about how good you will feel when this has passed and you are in total control and at peace.
You will get better and improve over time. You won't feel like you do right now forever. There will be better days ahead. "
