I’ve been struggling with intense anxiety that I also believe has brought on depression for 4 months now, almost 5. I go to therapy, it seems to stress me out more than help, but I think it is still helping. I tried lexapro in March, but had to taper off after 3 months because it was not helping at all, if not making things worse. I have been trying to recover on my own/with therapy since and it is just not working. I’ll think I’m getting slightly better, than a wave of anxiety will crash and I barely cope and handle it. I just think that medication might be able to assist me in getting out of this hole. I understand it doesn’t 100% cure anxiety. But I feel like I cannot really do this with just myself and medication could assist me. I’m just terrified it’s going to be as bad as lexapro. I’m scared I’ll never find a medication and I’ll be stuck like this forever. Can someone or anyone reassure me that it’s okay to need this kind of help? My brain wants my problems to be so much bigger and freak me out, like this might be cancer or a heart condition, I never knew anxiety could feel like this :( support would be greatly appreciated.
