I feel the same, I’m really struggling with depression and anxiety is skyrocketing the past year. I can’t get a handle on the anxiety, it just came upon me suddenly the last year and half. I get anxious with any docter appointment, and it is severe. I have fibromyalgia and SAD, plus depression may also be genetic. I’m become sensitive to many meds. I have one of the best psychiatrist for many years, and just learned he is retiring in June.

I have been isolated more than usual with losing a daughter the past seven tears, and as the grief lessened I then came upon the issues of aging. Also with fibromyalgia you become accustomed not to do like others,

This is my first post, so will close with I hope sharing helps.

Hi, @french -- I wanted to point out a couple other threads on Mayo Clinic Connect that you might be interested in:

-- http://mayocl.in/2C15h1t (about drug help for fibromyalgia pain)
-- http://mayocl.in/2E89P7O (about fibromyalgia)
-- http://mayocl.in/2BgA8dI (about grief)

You truly have been through a lot of very hard times with your daughter and also with your son. Wondering if in addition to looking at medications you've also had any talk therapy since losing your daughter?
