Hello, First time posting here & kinda nervous even about typing this out.
Literaly one day, I just woke up with a hurt neck from sleeping probably and BOOM had straight 24/7 anxiety. my head wouldn't quit trembling & it felt like I was going to have a seizure.
After about 2 months of that, I literaly have probably 95% reduced anxiety. At least I dont feel panicy to much anymore, But it left me emotionally drained.
I still have these head tremble things & sometimes just think I have a Tumor or something but it soon passes.
So onto the point here latley I have been feeling depressed (kinda) & VERY intrusive suicidal thought keep coming in my head for a matter of seconds really but they scare me & idk why. It happens probably 5-10x a day the past 4-5 days.
Sorry to make you read my life story I just thought typeing it and talking might help a little bit. Before all this I wouldnt consider myself a happy person to say but I was by far not like this. I never worried about or even felt similar.

I have also been to a Dr about my Anxiety & was prescribed Cymbalta & was told nothing about the side effects/withdraw symptoms. I dont swallow anything without first looking it up regaurdless.
The side effects dont weigh out enough on how im feeling to give them a go. I took one and was left vomiting for an hour or so & simple youtube testimonials will tell you the drug really has messed some people up pretty badly.
Worsened depression/Anxiety,BRAIN ZAPS(sounds horrid).

Sorry, I guess I did not ask a question. Does anyone have any advice? Will I get through this constant feeling of being down. Also the back of my head hurts, Kinda this weird pressure/pain & my short term memory is out of whack so it also worries me, of course I jump immediately to brain tumor, Good thing is though I don't really have any anxiety just feeling down & always think sad thoughts.

If anyone has any advice I could use to lessen the depression further. I would read them with eagerness & an open mind. As stated above I want to try other things before medication. I dont want anything to do with the side effects,
Would love to read some others insight as this is all new & overwhelming to me very much.
