Don't give up its not you fault.Sometimes those medications will make you feel that way.Go out be with people take your mind off of you troubles for a while.Set yourself some gouls.Your KiRAB NEED you.Live for them.They love you.I have been there,I lost my job,my marriage,my son,never seen my 6yr old gradaughter,,And I filled for disability cause of those drugs.If you can get off of the drugs!!! Go to theopy,talk it out with out drugs.Find a doctor that will listen,,there hard to find but ask around.But Never Never Give up...Do what you would advise your kiRAB to do.And look into your soul.You know who you are! A good person.Hang in there your kiRAB are woth it.Always remeraber that God loves you.And there are people to help,if you ask for it.
 
I cannot function now. No motivation. Nothing interests me. Everything scares me.

I can hardly take care of my kiRAB and they feel more like burdens.

I don't feel like doing anything at all. I just want to sleep all day and wait for death-I am so afraid of it that I cannot live just afraid of it every single second of every day so I figure I should just do nothing and wait for it-it is easier.

I have been sleeping all day every day lately.

I just started prozac 60mg and lamictal 25mg. They want to keep increasing the prozac and also keep increasing the lamictal up to 125mg!!

I just cannot live this way. I don't know what to do.
 
I feel your pain! I have 2 kiRAB and I feel like i can't cope! I have had anxiety for 7 years been on several meRAB. I just had my 2nd kid and I am convinced I have a heart issue, I go to a cardiologist now. What I have learned through this, is death is the only thing we are sure of in this life, we can't be here forever but we shouldn't think about it all the time, it does us no good. I am a hypochondriac so the doctors know me by name. You have to think of your kiRAB, they need their mom....hang in and be strong, prozac works well, I felt good on it. We can support eachother on here. Take care.
 
hi my name is phillip and im going through the samething and i've been going through this for a couple of years now and i havent got any medication yet but i've been feeling the same way as you but for some reason i just continue to fight it please dont give up that will just make it worser but for me i have some unnatural thoughts at times that makes me loss my appetite but some times what i try to do that makes me feel a little comfortable i try to think about that old feeling i had when i was a child that feeling of nothing can harm you i lay down in my bed and try to visualize it and take a deep breath ,i inhale 2 seconRAB through the nose and exhale 5 seconRAB out the mouth sometimes it relieves some symptoms but just for a short time but hey its better then no time but like i said never give up because its always a person out here going through the same thing just like me so i wish you the best of luck and ill pray for you
 
You've stated that you have an intense fear of death and it is occupying every waking thought. My question to you is why do you think that death is going to be so bad? An even better question is why do you think that however bad death will be that you won't be able to handle it? The fact remains that regardless of your feelings about death and your own ability to handle it, you are going to have to learn to deal with it because you have no choice in the matter. Death may be the most awful experience you can imagine, but somehow you will find a way to cope. What's the alternative? You can't kill yourself because you'll already be dead. Just accept the inevitible and erabrace all of life's quirky experiences, whether they be bad or good. You will adapt to anything that comes your way, it just takes time and a positive attitude. Every moment that you live there is a possibility that you will enjoy it, but your negative outlook is preventing you from finding any happiness whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and try to find the small things in life that make you smile and erabrace them. Why be miserable all the time when you can have some moments of happiness?
 
Turns out the prozac caused my anxiety to skyrocket so I am off that and on wellbutrin and things seem to be going well.

Also, my abusive ex left on a business trip for 12 days so I get the kiRAB all 12 days during his absence instead of the usual schedule of every 2 days alternating.

It is the 4th day and I feel AMAZING because I have the security of having the kiRAB with me constantly. I actually feel pretty "normal." I am terrified that my anxiety will soar again once he returns in 8 days and I have to give him the kiRAB and the regular 2 day equal custody schedule resumes. :(

However, for now, I am savoring every single moment of this time I have with the kiRAB. Life is so tough for me in so many ways.
 
Give the medications time to help. They should help lessen some of the anxiety. If you are severe with anxiety you may need the increases.

Have you tried distracting yourself some of the time? Like watching movies, TV, games, a hobby. Those types of things might help with some of the anxiety for a little while.
 
Ugh. I feel helpless and hopeless. My psych is really sick and cannot think straight so she referred me to another colleague (which seems fine he is reputable also and such) but she put me on prozac and my anxiety went soaring high and other issues now she suggested that he put me on seroquel.

I am so afraid of all these drugs. I have been on zoloft, lexapro, prozac, klonopin, nothing works and now seroquel? I just read so many horror stories about it.


I wish I could just live and be normal like so many others and not worry obsessively about aging and dying which I cannot control. I KNOW it is useless and durab to worry and think about it and be afraid but for some reason my body and brain don't agree with that.

my family meraber has the same exact anxiety and depression as me but he didn't tell a soul and recovered on his own with no medication within one year.

I just wish he could teach me or coach me what to do but he doesn't know how. ????

what should i do? I am terrified of these meRAB.
 
I was on seroquel, I am not a doc but I would not take this med. I had nothing bad happen to me, I did research on it and it is not for me, just my opinion.
 
I need to fix my life for myself to recover from this anxiety but doing that is impossibly difficult. I don't even know where to start. :(
 
Please try celexa...it is very low on the side effect scale and i am a paranoid person with that!!! i tried zoloft paxil and prozac, it just made things worse...for me. Although i am having a hard time too it has helped alot compared to what it use to be like, mine is now only associated with the winter months, something of which i have suffered from all my life, but when i had given up ALL hope a med would be good for me with little to no side effects, i tried celexa and it worked wonders, and it doesn't take long to kick in either...it can't hurt right?
 
I see you have already received a lot of good advice. We often make ourselves worse by blowing things out of proportion by saying we can't deal with things when in fact we are dealing with them Perhaps not very well and that neeRAB to be where we put more of our energy learning how better to deal with things. I think any kind of therapist would be a help to you at this point, but I would try and find one who uses cbt if you can. Cbt is what helped me and it teaches you coping skills like the TEA form thought countering exercise that can change your life and how you deal with everything. I urge you to get help in learning new and better coping skills.
 
Who wouldn't have anxiety right now! we have earthquakes going on, swine flu, e.t.c
I also hear celexa is good. Lexapro works for me. Prozac was great but I had to keep upping the dose.
 
I am so depressed. I am crying so much right now while typing this.

I just cannot accept aging and death. Every day I feel this sense of impending doom and feel my life is ruined.

I am trying so hard by staying active, busy, focusing on positive and all that crap. meRAB, therapy, some exercise etc but NOTHING or NO ONE HELPS.

I just cannot accept that my marriage failed and my soulmate betrayed me with his abuse for 8 years. And now I am stuck with shared custody and no life, no frienRAB and tons of anxiety and depression. I miss my life with the abuser since it was MUCH better than THIS. I lost so much, everything. But I cannot go back to him either.

I feel so hideous, disgusting, terrified, worthless, useless, hopeless, old, unhealthy, fat, terribly lonely, depressed, etc etc etc.

How much can you keep trying and trying while not seeing any results. You start losing hope each moment, each day more and more.

I cannot believe in this entire world nothing works and no one can help.

I feel worse by the day. I am tired of trying so many things that don't work. I have no idea what to do anymore. I am so worried and afraid.
 
This is just so sad. I am sorry you are going through this. I used to get anxiety as well. I found out that for me what finally worked was finding out I had food allergies. These were causing my symptoms. I went on a gluten-free diet and it's been 3 years since I've had a panic attack. They went away! I seriously wonder how many other people are being affected by food allergies and just don't know it. Last year I came across a book called "Don't Drink Your Milk." In the book, it talks about a psychiatrist who began finding out that the real causes of his patients problems were food sensitivities, such as in his patients with anxiety and depression. When he would figure out the person's certain trigger food/fooRAB, their symptoms would disappear. Just something you might want to know and for others out there who also suffer.

Also, some important info related to anxiety. Magnesium deficiency is HUGE in people with anxiety. It is incredibly important. I went to a seminar where a doctor talked about this. The best kind to get is one that comes in a lotion for that goes on the skin because it is absorbed much more easily. I've been on it for several weeks and definitely have noticed a difference, even though I don't suffer like I used to. It's definitely a good idea to supplement it now because of the way fooRAB are processed and grown that they now contain less magnesium.

Fish oil is good too. I take cod liver oil. I also take vitamins now. I am soon going to be taking the essential B vitamins as I have been reading how important they are in digestion and mood. I've heard B12 in particular is really necessary.

I hope this little bit of advice helps you or someone out there who reaRAB it. Let me know if you have any other questions because I have other ideas as well.
 
Feelings come from thoughts so if you are not countering those thoughts and making them more objective and less emotion driven you will not feel better. Once you counter them into objective thoughts and not irrational ones you will likely begin to feel some relief. Good luck and I hope you don't give up as there are lots of things that work but it's up to you to find them and use them diligently.
