Waiting on Neuro Appt., Falling into Depression

[iWitch]

I have posted a couple of times, and am still waiting on my neuro appointment. After having this crap for 9 months I feel like it's not just the anxiety thats getting me, I feel like i'm now being sucked into that big black hole of depression,and I'm never going to get out. Has anyone else felt like this? I'm kinda sick of fighting it

I've been there. Keep your head up, things will get better. Try to get some help working on the anxiety/depression, maybe CBT or pharmaceuticals.Hang in there,Gary

Thanks GaryI went through a patch of about 6 weeks where everything was great, now I'm back to square one. Thanks for your quick reply

One thing they will tell you if you get professional anxiety help is that you won't conquer depression and anxiety in one attempt. It tends to be a 2 steps forward, one step backward process. The key is not to stress too much over the setbacks, and just focus on the gains you have made and the positives you have accomplished instead.

I have been down in the beginnings, really anxious and depressed. I was put on Anti-depressants(SSRI's) and they really worked I think. But what I have to say: here they are usually combined with meds to calm you down a bit for the first weeks, because they actually make your anxiety and nervousness much worse in the first weeks, before they start to help you. I didn't take them because I was afraid I would be not able to care for my 2 little kids (2 and 4), but if you have the chance to, take this second crutch in the beginnings. Pure SSRI's are ....tough..the first weeks.
