The battle continues....

Naww, I really feel you here, a lot of the things you say strongly resonate with my own ordeals I have been through. I will withhold from dishing out advice, and just offer some consolation that your experience is saddening for me, and I'm sorry you are feeling this way.

Please, reaching out is very courageous, well done!

Hey @Tazzi I havnt figured out how to create a post here yet but you sound like me.

I seen a physchiatrist today that prescribed me 2 medications very low doses as I have a fear of medication and I struggled to try and take one at all.

My symptoms

Headaches

Tingly arms legs

Heavy feeling all over body

Feeling depressed

Scared of what's going on

No appetite infact a fear of food has stopped me eating for several weeks

I have bad attacks in between this 24/7 stuff and they involve hot sweats heart palpitations feeling I can't breathe tiredness although most of the time I feel I'm about to go into a coma and so scared to sleep in actually not sleeping well.

I want to be better as we all do

But when you hit rock bottom it's hard to get back up.

And no matter what anyone says it never feels it will be ok

Just know that whilst it might not get better anytime soon there is many others suffering.

Hey @anon1988 ,

Thanks for sharing.

If you want to create your own thread, you can click here. But it's also totally okay if you want to stay posting here.

I hear how scary and uncertain things are for you at the moment.

Yet reading your post, I can't help but think whether the side effects are due to the medication itself or the anxiety of taking the medication? Do you have psychological supports as well? The thoughts which bring on the anxiety may be something to work with.

Please know you can call SANE's drop-in line when you feel you need to speak to someone 1800 187 263 (M-F 10am-8pm AEDT)

You are not alone @anon1988 . I hear it is hard for now, but things can get better.

Let's just say, when you hit rock bottom, there's no other way you can go except UP! You've got an entire community here to help you up.

Please take care. You too @Tazzi

I have therapy although I find it more stressful then helpful
