Unhappy dont know what to do

I was diagnosed with depression about 6 years ago im what they call a self harmer - i recoverd for a little while in the past year i seemed to be ok made life changes began on a new path and all that stuff and stopped cutting, unfortunately in the past month or so i have dropped out of uni refuse to leave my house go into panic attacks started cutting again cut myself off from people and can see no future.

i have been on about 8 different types of antidepressants in my time none of which seemed to help in the slightest (hence why so many) i am diagnosed with insomnia as well and cant seem to find anything to control this... i see acounsellor once a week and have been doing so for three years.

i am now at a loss i dont know what to do or how to overcome this i know i did it once before but for some reason i cant figure out how.. i am now scared of myself because its becoming so uncontrolable.

if *anyone* has ANY advice please share because im so utterly scared right now.

thanks in advance.

hi

well Sal im not a doctor and i cant fully relate to what your going through...but what was it that helped you to recover the first time? And what was it that brought it all back? Maybe you should try what you have before to recover...and not take the same path that you did that led you back to your old ways. For me, it really helps to know that others are going through the same things that I am...do you know anyone like that?

well i hope that was a little bit of help...i really hope things get better for you.

Sal,
you've tried 8 diff. antidepressants & none
worked? Ever try a tranquilzer like Klonopin
or Buspar? I've heard Trazedone and/or Ambien also
work well.
Good luck
