like a lot of people on this forum, I'm in a bad way. I don't see a way out of this. I think this is it for me. My anxiety started overnight a few months ago. Since then the quality of my life has plummeted and the simple things are now virtually impossible and I am a mere shadow of my former self.
Been on lots of medication – nothing's worked (though the side-effects managed to pull through). I've had many expensive CBT sessions but they can be distilled down to 'if I behave in an anxious and depressed way, that makes everything worse. Behave as though there's nothing wrong with me'. I've gotten no-where with this.
It saddens me to my core to think this is me now. I have nothing to look forward to and I do in fact dread each day.
I know what I've written is an example of negative thinking (among other things), but I can't seem to think positive. I guess that's the depression.
Just a bit of a whinge. I'm sorry, I'm just hoping someone might give me some positive feedback.
Thanks
