I totally understand. 20 years of trying everything and I still get overwhelmed by it.

All of the above, and you keep fighting. When it beats you sometimes you have to adjust your life.

Medication - keep trying to find what works
Therapy - CBT, DBT, Interpersonal
Meditation
Mindfulness
Spirituality
Acceptance
Diet
Exercise
A sense of purpose and meaning
One day at a time, one moment at a time.

All proven to help but sometimes it just kicks your ***.

Since last April Fetzima has worked like a miracle but recently I have had to up the dose twice and eventually it will quit working. I will cross that bridge when i come to it.
