Last Night I started a row with my mum for no real reason at all. on new years eve, and made it hell for her, now i have never felt so guilty in my life. I always make other people miserable, and hurt people. Its not on purpose but think its because I totally hate myself. My looks my personality, Im just miserable and always have been, Thats not right is it?? I just want someone to understand how bad I feel.

Hi Daizy.
I do understand, if that helps. It comes clearly through in your post.
I remember the misery of mother/daughter fights, now fortunately far in the past.
Hope your first day of the New Year is a better one.

Daizy, babe, really follow what I told you to do. I do care about you and I want to see you get better, but with what you're doing now, you're just going to make things worse. You know how to get in touch with me if you need to talk about anything, but seriously, it's time to take action babe.

> Thank You, Hope yours is a good new year too (and everyone else here). Got told today that what I have is really bad anxiety, but I wont get anymore meds for it. seem to remember you mentioning panic before. If all I have is panic its making me depressed too. Do you have any advise on how to overcome anxiety, build confidence? or any natural remedies that may help? (or anyone?) Much appreciated if you do!

Cognitive behavior therapy has a pretty good track record with anxiety disorders. But honestly I couldn't (or wouldn't anyway) do without my Klonopin. Benzos have a long track record and neither I nor my therapist and pdoc have any hesitation in my taking it. And I'm kind of med-phobic too.
Have you tried cognitive behavior therapy?

> Have you tried cognitive behavior therapy?My appointment today was kind of make or break for me, it was done as emergency so it was kinda my last chance, i expressed my feelings of anxiety, and of depression, not being able to live my life properly ect... and got told its all anxiety, and as effexor didnt work its unlikely that other AD's would, and got told that meds werent a good Idea and I needed to think more positive and get out more, when my whole problem is I cant......... Ive been to everyone possible now and they've told me basically the same thing, so Why do I still feel so bad? everyday is the same. I havnt got ANY SUPPORT anymore, burned ALL my bridges. Im just trying to help myself but it is hard. Cant ago anywhere near the doctors if I wanted to, as I just simply have panic attacks and get dizzy. Its just like a visious circle, and I want to end it. I live far away from any CBT places, only have councelling every two weeks, at that stage of raking the past up, but not had enough to be able to help put it behind me?. I just thought that a natural remedy might help or maybe a book or something.......

There are plenty of CBT help books. "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" is one. But your doctor, sad to say, sounds incompetent. Effexor is more likely to make anxiety worse than to cure it. Not responding to that does NOT mean meds can't help.
Get a second or third or fourth opinion. Antidepressants are not the best meds for anxiety. Period.
