Same for me . Depression and anxiety are debilitating ! We understand each other , because no one knows what it is like to walk in our shoes . I am trying so hard . I am on meds and do therapy . I am terrified to change meds because of withdrawals and my husband is battling cancer . Been on Zolloff for so long . Unfortunately had too add a benzo two years ago when his cancer reoccured . I also still
have Covid anxiety 😥. Anyone else in the same position ?

I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles with depression and anxiety. And then sick with covid and worrying about your husband. Your plate is overflowing!! My heart goes out to you. There are safer drugs than benzodiazepines out there and to me zoloft is like pissing in the ocean. A group of drugs called snri's might be more appropriate. Then perhaps add an atypical antipsychotic as well. It may require more than one or 2 drugs to level u out. See your therapist more frequently or if you're not happy with her, change therapists. You have to be your own best advocate bc no one else is gonna do it for you. I wish you the very best...pray to your Higher Power also.
