I'm 68 married male dipressed since last two years going through sevre anxiety/Dipression and fear 24/7. Using Cymbalta 30mg and Clonazipam0.75 mg to sleep and 0.125 mg as needed for anxiety. I did four ECT too without any change except increased anxiety and headache. I also did Psychotherepy too. I'm not getting a moment of relax 24/7 and feeling hopeless/helpless isolated all the time. I'm cutoff from every thing also lost family support too due long sickness, This happen two years ago due to some of married sons issues disturbing his family and 4kids plus my entire family. I could not cope with it and fall trap in mental illness. I'm free social worker and helping needy and suffering families of all the communities providing them resources for all kinds of needs and problems. I'm still trying help but loosing interest due sickness. Theses days I'm loosing my mind and remain upset 24/7 trying to recover but failed. Don't know what to do? No treatments are working. Please advice and help.
I don't know what to tell you since you already tried so many medications and since you already tried psychotherapy. Where do you live, do you live in a city? I am thinking about something. Maybe you can try and move somewhere in the nature, live somewhere in the mountains, next to a river, or in the woods. Get away from people and medications, leave everything behind and try being on your own for a bit.
I live in Houston, TX but it is not posible for me to move fro here due multiple reasons and problems. Secondly, the family problem is worsening further making things worst for my son's family due his attitude with his wife and kids. It make me more sick, dipressed and anxious. I'm going through sevre panic attacks today and don't find any way out to resolve problem and also control my sickness. Anyway, kindly pray for me and thank you very much for your concern and suggestions.
I needed to unlock my brain to start living but due antidipressants and their side effects plus morning anxiety and Dipression don't let me get out of bed every day. Anyway, I'm struggling to cope daily and hope to see some light soon. Once again Thanks for responding.
