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.

I am praying I will start to feel better soon as days are so long and I am really struggling can anybody give me any positive feedback or there improvements please.
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.
