As a newbie to all of this the irony is I feel anxious writing this. Just over a year ago I went to the doctors with sleep problems and I was diagnosed with mild to moderate anxiety and depression. I was prescribed sleeping tablets but turned down antidepressants as I was ashamed and didn't want to admit I needed that much help. I told myself good sleep would solve all. I also went along to 12 sessions of cbt told myself I was cured and how wrong I was. 2016 has been really tough with multiple panic attacks that leave me depressed and exhausted and thinking horrible thoughts. At the end of November I finally went back to the doctors and asked for antidepressants. I am currently on 150mg daily of trazodone but feel no different and have had 2 panic attacks since. Is there any daylight at the end of the tunnel because talk about feeling hopeless
