I keep having depressive episodes. They usually come on after anxiety/panic attacks but can come on randomly. Psychiatrist has diagnosed me with dysthemia.
I've tried all the coping techniques I know to help with this, distraction, doing happy things, positive things, etc.. but nothing is working. It doesn't help. And I can't take it any more.. I can deal with anxiety but I CANNOT deal with depressive episodes. Every time it happens the hope and happiness fades from me and I want to die to have it over with because it hurts too much.
Im currently on Lexapro 20mg. I'm going to my GP this wednesday to ask for more help but I don't know what else there is aside of benzos. I'm getting put on antipsychotics when I need see my psychiatrist but I can't wait that long. I need help now.
Can anyone please offer me advice? Does anyone go through the same thing and has found a way/medication to cope? I really need help. I'm not giving up or quitting, I'm just at the end of my thread. I need to fix this, each time it happens I go through hell.
