i have anxiety and depression symptoms, what can i do to stop it for good?

August 7th, 2010

asked:


i have severe anxiety and depression symptoms, i have very bad migraines, an extremely difficult time concentrating, thoughts of suicide, loss of interest, and sadness, and the worst is that i cant even stop myself from having these symptoms, i have tried EVERYTHING in order to stop except prescription meds, but my parents wont let me get tested for it, my difficulty concentrating has caused me to get cut from basketball, be antisocial and do very poorly in other things including school, please help me find a cure to get rid of it forever because i don’t want to resort to bad things, because i have big plans including to join the military, and i don’t want this to get in the at

sadness, depression, anxiety, HELP! : (?

Madigan L asked:


im 15 years old and ive been suffering from depression/anxiety disorders for a while now, at least a few years. i dont really hide it; my parents know and i am willing to talk to people. i see a therapist and a psychiatrist and sometimes my school counselor. last year, my psychiatrist put me on 15 mg of Lexapro (an antidepressant) and it didnt work. we switched meds and now i am on 100mg of zoloft. it has helped i guess, but im nowhere near where i want to be. i was doing a little better for a while, but now i am having a terrible relapse. im feel so sad and empty and alone. im starting to go back into my “i dont care anymore” phase again. also, i miss so many people. i recently have had a lot of important people in my life taken away (some were fired teachers, many of them long-distance friends who are adults and probably arent going to really hang out with me) i have great friends and family but no matter what i am just so alone. im seeing my therapists next week and i’ll tell them all of this, but i really dont know what to do. my life is just ******* so bad. i dont think this is something therapy and/or medication can cure. please help me! :”’(
