I have tried counting and looking around for things to focused on. I just don't know what to do to help me with it. any ideas?

What kind of medication are you on? If you have started an antidepressant, give it some time to work. It takes about a week or so to start feeling the effects and sometimes over a month to get to full effect.

Have you tried meditation, yoga, and exercise? Vigorous exercise regularly can really help depression an anxiety. Do you have a therapist you can talk to?

sometimes the anxiety runs so high that it reaches a point where no one thing can help us. Often in these situations we need to work on everything, the right meds ( try including propranalol into the mix if your anxiety is more physical), if its more pshychological a benzo would help ( but remember to take it for short term), then good diet, excercise, a good routine, deep breathing relaxation techniques, and most importantly hope, believe that youre going to get well, and think of things youd do once youre better, work, travel, whatever excites you. Lean on family, friends, for support.

I see two options: One, many times anxiety is actually a part of depression. That's probably why your doc is prescribing an anti-depressant. Two, find another doctor, one who will more specifically address your anxiety. Best to you.
