I have Larazapsn if panic gets too much.

An SSRI is usually the first choice med for newly diagnosed patients. Was that suggested, if so do you know why one wasn't prescribed?

I am so scared and frightened sad and feel like I cannot cope with anything anymore.

This is how most feel at the beginning, but this is not a hopeless situation. The overwhelming majority of people recover and go onto lead mostly anxiety and/or depression free lives.

Unfortunately, there is no quick 'cure,' either by meds or therapy. These disorders are often long in the gestation and don't give up easily, although spontaneous remissions are quite common. However, as per above, they most often do respond well to medication. It just takes time.
