I have severe, debilitating anxiety/major depressive disorder and it affects my ability to do the majority of the things I want to do, informs every decision I make, and fills my thoughts 24/7. 

I've been in therapy for 3-4 years with different methods/therapists. I meditate. I practice breathing. I read self-help books. I've trialed over a dozen medications with zero improvement. I'm doing everything right. Even my doc is getting a little antsy, he keeps saying something's gotta give.

It gets better for a couple months at a time (still very anxious, but less emotional pain) but always comes back worse. I'm not suicidal but I can't live with this much psychological pain, doubt, anxiety, and fear. 


I just feel so hopeless. I truly don't believe I'll ever be able to work a real job, be a good partner, do anything with confidence...
