Having dealt with PTSD, ACID shocks, prostrate cancer, injuries, COVID I can sense your mental outlook.

Colleen is an excellent monitor of posts and hope she contacts you.

I go to Mayo Jacksonville and see a hosts of medical professionals including Mayo's Psychiatric Division. Your mental health is just a important as physical health. I am not sure where you live but if anywhere close to a Mayo would strongly recommend trying to go there.

There are many many medications that can help anxiety and depression. I am on them. I think that and the excellent psychiatric specialist I see at Mayo has made all the difference it may ability to deal with all these life issues. I see the psychiatric specialist every 6 months and go through an assessment to see if need to alter or add medications. She works with every single other medical professional I see to make sure they are working as a team.
I can feel your pain and strongly recommend seeing a psychiatric speciality clinic like a Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, or other major institution. Mayo works as a team and treats not only my physical health but my mental health. All are concerned and work together to help I get the best quality of life possible with all my conditions and stress.
Your anxiety and depression can be addressed both medically and prescriptions to help you improve your quality of life. If I can help you in anyway or would like to send secure message please do so and will gladly help you as I felt the same way as you did but got the help I needed.

Thanks, I think I do need some mental health help and will try to find it. My concern about taking a depression med is that I've heard they make sexual side effects even worse and I'm at least hoping *something* will come back in that area in the future.
