MissCath -

Your situation with the alternating depression and anxiety ( sometimes both together) sounds so like what I experience. I had these problems from a young age, but now it't taking over and I feel too weak to pull myself together.

I'm sorry to hear you have health issues to compound your hardship. So have I and they seem so debilitating, but if I wasn't so down, I don't think they would seem so bad.

There's nothing more doctors can do that I would allow. I truly believe that this is not strictly a medical problem. It's way beyond that.
