I hate the depression but the anxiety is somehow worse and it really interferes with my health and my resolve to ctb. I think just a calm depression would be enough to feel better, but anxiety is what's really messing up my life right now. I tried to take luvox but it make it worse in the mornings.

I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder ( amongst others) 24 years ago.
Only meds won't help, because that doesn't solve the real problem.

I understand not everyone wants / can go to therapy, what really helps me when I'm scared is breathing techniques and meditation.

You have to practice that daily for the best effect imo.

Hope my answer will help a little.

as said, these are fears which are anchored in the subconscious due to trauma, the best solution is meditation because we are more or less free in this state from any thought making us slave to these macabre thoughts, work on the breathing side and on the aspect of emptying the mind when you meditate there are plenty of tutorials explaining how to meditate for beginners, good luck <3

I've always felt like I've been ruled by fear but this year caused my anxiety to shoot up to crazy levels to a point where I just can't ignore it anymore but it feels like all of the means to seek help for anxiety are sadistically designed just to torture the anxious mind.

Absolutely. Ever wake up with heat palipations and cold hands? A minor crisis gives you a panic attack? That's me.

I sometimes wake up in a panic attack before I know what I'm panicking about.

I was also afraid of this .... From my small experience with sipping some it sort of knocks you out though. I didn't have energy to be in a panic but with more I don't know....

True and taking a bunch of benzos with it. Was the taste bearable?

Yeah the only medicine that actually helps is clonazapam but that just makes me loopy. I don't want be high on drugs basically to feel somewhat okay. I'm never actually gonna feel better until the quality of my life improves and that's not gonna happen.

I completely understand how you feel. I've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (among other issues). I've been dealing with anxiety what feels like my entire life. My body is constantly in a fight or flight mode.

I suggest looking into distractions; medications have never really helped me.

24/7 as well, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, night terrors. It never fucking ends and it's so much more shit to deal with than just depression on its own. Both at the same time all the time is fucking hell.
