I tried antidepressants from all available classes and had no effect with them.

I am currently going through a breakup with an ex who keeps kicking me. I can only avoid her when I stop my hobby from 14 years (stopping is exactly which I have now done, giving in to somebody who started only a year ago). It causes extreme anxiety in all social situations and has made me very depressed. I have lost all contact with the friends I made the last two years (battling my social anxiety in the first place) and tango dancing has been the context where I felt comfortable enough to start a relationship in the first place (and there is a lot of anxiety that I will never get an opportunity with somebody else in the first place).

But so summarize: extreme anxiety in all social contact and depression. And a history of bad experiences with medication that is typically used to treat depression and anxiety.



Maybe I should write a piece about how this relationship turned out (I have before, during one of our temporary breakups, I guess I can build on that)
