    Speaking as a therapist and human being, hang in there. Anxiety is something that can't be managed over night. It begins with that first step and takes dedication every day to apply the skills that you will learn. I have been in the profession 15+ years and counting, had a trauma in 2007(erroneously held at gun point by local SWAT) and went for therapy. I've since healed from that event but still go in for a 'tune up' every now and again. It works if you dedicate yourself to the concepts and skills, manage your expectations for how treatment works (that's a huge one), and surround yourself with a supportive network of people (family and/or friends). My best @lastexitlondon

    I’m thinking of you Rob.  Sending you love and strength as you navigate these difficult days.  Persevere.  You may yet find hope and light.

    What did the doc say?

    You may be going through withdrawal.  Seeing life - seeing yourself - without any filters can be frightening or overwhelming.

    Detox does a number on the mind and body; get through this as best you can.  We're behind you.
  • I haven't been able to  see the dr yet . I am calling tomorrow.  Monday.
    Im very grateful for all of your  care here. 
    Im very lost and lonely in my soul.

    Im driven to tears by all of the  care. I promise i am doing my best. Dr said to take ssri  meds again. I really dont want to but he said if im not its like refusing treatment. I just have lots of bad experience  of them. Im going out of my flat for the  3rd time in a week. I will try to go to my allotment.  (Thats a plot to grow veg i have. ) its not called that  in other countries i think. Anyway you all are so kind and understanding.  If nothing  else i know  all over the  world people are pulling  for little me from london colney england.

    Does your doctor know you have had bad experiences on ssri's? Hopefully you find a medication that you can tolerate.

    removal of the alcohol and other substances will allow the meds to work as designed.
