Firstly I must say, thank you for making this forum, its very reassuring for me to find other people that are trying to overcome their symptoms. (Too)
So where do I begin? I have been suffering from Anxiety and Depression for almost a year now (maybe even longer, but I have not been aware of it), I am taking medication (Mirtizipine) however I do at times doubt it works that well, as I still having feelings of Anxiety daily.
Basically I am wondering if I am taking the wrong medicine, or do I grin and bear with it (easier typing that than applying it)
As previously my depression was severe, although my depression has lifted somewhat, and my mood has lifted to where it was previously, (or at least near too) my Anxiety is still as high as it was when I begun. (the medication)
I have attended a number of counseling (sp) sessions, and to be honest got some great lessons on how to deal with panic attacks, and how to combat the general feelings of anxiety I have. Sadly nothing yet has "cured me". The feelings of anxiety I have are
this feeling can last anything from half an hour, or longer I feel completely ridiculous at times as I can not enjoy things as much as I used to, for example
Like I said I have been dealing with this for a year now, and I guess now I am getting used to it now, although when the Anxiety occurs it feels absolutely horrible and real, and after I feel stupid at myself.
I look forward to any advice, and comments.
