It doesn't seem to matter what I do or don't do I just can't rid myself of anxiety and the intense despair & despondency that go along with it. Today was supposed to be a nice quiet, alone day after a few days of having to be with people. I am an extreme introvert, have a social phobia and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm on antidepressants and anxiolytics, but some days nothing helps. I pray, I garden, I take extra doses, but the anxiety stays with me. I feel like such a failure. If all this can't help, then there must be something wrong with me. I really fear for myself; that one day it will be unbearable. I'm so afraid that my mental health care team will give up on me if I don't "improve". I hurt. Please send hugs. to all and thank you.
