I have been struggling with extreme panic and anxiety for 17 years and am at the end of my rope. I guess I am treatment resistant, especially when it comes to AD's.
>>>>Benzo's, low dose atypical chill pill?
I have just watched a youtube about Dignitas, a Swiss non-profit organization that offers euthanasia for terminally ill people (a category we with mental illness do not fall into).
>>>>I'm not the only one one that enjoys uplifting programs.
Anyway, my immediate family has become dysfunctional because of all the trouble I have caused over the years.
>>>>They became dysfunctional because they are dysfunctional. Families handle this stuff in different ways. Do they study your illness. Educate themselves?
The guilt is killing me! Would it not be better to crawl into a hole somewhere by myself and try to stop my mind from racing all the time? I have had absolutely no success with meditation, mindfulness, belly breathing and all the rest. Maybe I can find a deserted island somewhere.
>>>>A therapist told me that guilt is a wasted emotion. You should find the right meds, they are out there. You'll really get stressed living in a hole. Sooner or later you'll have to wash clothes, go to McDonald's, renew your drivers license.
You need something that will help with anxiety, that's your goal. What's your doc say about it?
