Well, i'm not sure if i'm in the right place but I can only try. I know I need help and I know I'm not getting the help I need but I don't know how to get it.

I'm not sure exactly where on the forum to post my issues so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

So hello. I'm a 26 year old male suffering from pretty bad (and treatment resistant) depression and anxiety. I lost a close family member last year which made the anxiety side of things a lot worse and subsequently lost my partner who meant everything to me.

I have spent the last few months having breakdowns and anxiety/panic attacks and being put on various SSRIs and feeling like the doctors/psychiatrists aren't helping me. I'm going to stop there as I should probably be posting this in a dedicated forum.

Thank you, I hope so too. If anyone knows what subforum I should be posting in specifically that would be great too.

Depression from panic/anxiety. This is the closest subforum I've found for "depression". You could read the different threads and start one of your own as well. There are lots of tips on dealing with trialing medications and a bit on how they work, which for me helped a lot. Also, CBT therapy for anxiety, which a lot of people find helpful.

Good luck, and :welcome:
