Hi, thank you for responding. I guess I need to go into more detail about my journey. I began seeing a psychiatrist shortly after my son was seriously injured when he was 8 years old. I was molested as a child and I didn’t remember at that time. My husband was an alcoholic.
I had severe depression and anxiety. I have tried so many different medications, hospitalization 8 times/lifetime. The psychiatrist was a psychoanalyst. I saw him for 17 years. Moved to another state and continued to seek help. I tried ECT, THEY Couldn’t get me to seize. And so on. I finally found a therapist who was fantastic! I still see him once in a while. As for medication, I’ve tried so many different kinds. No miracle cure there. However I wouldn’t have made it without them.

@ellenkolnes I'm sorry for what has happened to you and your family. I have tried ECT too and TMS without help. I have gone through sexual abuse PTSD, domestic violence and life. I too have tried all kinds of medications and I am trying to get off a lot. Some of course you have to take like statins or blood pressure medication. I'm not recommending medication for you I was just feeling your pain. I don't know what else to tell you but hang in there. And I'm glad you do see a therapist/doctor. Good luck to you and if you ever want to talk privately let me know. Hope you feel better somehow and I will be thinking of you
