View Full Version : anxious and depressed

I have been depressed for 8 years, but my anxiety only started recently. I have brain damage that I got in a car accident when I was 19; I am 23 now. I have tried the anti-depressants Prozac, Buspar, Zoloft, and Paxil, but that is all that I can remember. None of them work for me.
I go see a therapist tomorrow, and I am very scared because of all the therapists/psychiatrists I've been to over the years, none of them have been able to help me, and I've told them all how I feel. I think that I have Social Anxiety Disorder; I am scared to death of people in groups of more than 3.
I am constantly shaking, I cannot cry(when I had my accident it inhibited my ability to cry for some reason), everything severly annoys me etc.
I do not know what to do. I feel like no one will ever help me. Is there something specific that I have to say TO GET HELP?

I am so sorry about your accident and the pain it has caused you. I keep reading on this board, that you just have to keep trying new therapists until you find one that you can relate to. It seems like certain meds work for some and not for others, also. If nothing seems to help, you could try some natural remedies. Fish Oil (pills) are good for memory and depression/to focus also, as is Ginko Biloba. Camomile tea is good to help you relax, and there are others. You could get a book on natural health/remedies and look up different things that have worked for other people.

It's just a thought. I don't know if some things would mix well with your meds, but I know for sure that there is help out there.

Gotta go for now.
