Every time I have gotten up the courage/stupidity to schedule an appointment with a doctor by the time it comes around my anxiety is so high it is making my physically sick.

I don't really consider this treatment resistant because I'm not seeking treatment. I'm literally to afraid to seek treatment. Maybe I'm just that screwed up.
I think that treatment resistant depression is diagnosed based on having tried several meds and them not working. So I am thinking that no, you probably don't have that diagnosis.But regardless, it is terrible to suffer. I am sorry that you haven't found any relief.
Can you see a counselor?
Thanks for this!
