Greg, you can and will get your old life back, anxiety and depression is an illness that you CAN recover from. I know it doesn't feel like it at the moment when you are feeling so low but it will get better. I can't remember if you have had any cbt? Just want to send you :hugs: Try to be positive and know that you can overcome this.

Greg, I don't know your history, are you on any medication? Maybe you need an alternative.

If you've not tried CBT it can be very productive, but you need to be able to take it all in and put things into practice so IMHO it works better when you've attained some sort of equilibrium.

If you can feel a big depressive episode coming I strongly suggest you discuss matters with your GP.

That said, I'm sure the members here will give you lots of moral support and advice.
