Question:
Hi, G, Welcome to ASAP! We have all been at the end of our rope at different times but always seem to trudge along. Do you have a psychiatrist or are you on any meds? There are many great meds to help with this condition… smiles, elise

We’re glad you’ve found us too. I know most people here have gone through what you’re feeling. I’ve been through the various stages….at the lowest, I had gone through ‘not caring’, then just being really abusive toward myself. So I know what you mean. Every now & then, I still feel the negative trying to get grip. You can manage with the right help! You didn’t mention taking any prescriptions…..I know (just from being here!!!!) that their are many meds that help you manage your anxiety/depression/<insert your own item here Not to mention groups (like this for example) and people (PhD types you know! ) Hang in there and know you’re not alone by far! -Z-

Hi G…as a relative newcomer to this group, let me say there a lot of great, caring people here. You will learn alot just as you read. So far, I have become educated on the difference between addiction and dependence, the need to wean on to certain meds, the value of and the way to use benzos when necessary, and the need some people have to use a benzo as they adjust to certain meds. These insights alone have been invaluable to me, along with the support I have received through my last few days of depression. Keep coming here, and keep reading the posts and the replies to newcomers…you will get educated and you will see that there is hope! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I hope to read more from you here. I have come very far in the 14 months since I found this group, and I give a lot of credit to them. I am the one who sought and made the changes, and did the work, but I can’t put a value on the support and insight from other people who understand.

Welcome G! I went through a period of time like that where I didn’t even want to try to help myself. It wasn’t worth the effort anymore. I can’t remember how long this went on for, but I finally got myself out of it and went to a pDoc who helped me so much! I’ve had PTSD, ag and PD for 16 yrs. I’ve been on Desipramine for 5 yrs. and Ativan for close to 3 yrs. I feel now that I’m worth fighting for. I hope you will feel the same way about yourself. Most of the people here are very dedicated to ASAP and extremely supportive. I think you’ll like it here. Di
