I wish I could wave a magic wand to relieve your depression, fears and anxiety @parus @shoregal45 and @swanie. I wrote about what has worked for me, but I recognize that it may not work for you. Being on Citalopram also diminished my depression, panic and anxiety long enough for me to be ready to find and use ways to relieve most of my physical pain. I remember how I felt when I was mired in my fears and couldn't see or find a way out of them--it Was like being in a cage. Chronic pain increased my fears and depression. I'm holding out hope that something someone has written about here will be helpful for you. I'm sorry that you are having these problems in your lives.
Warm regards,

Thank you so much for sharing. My situation is compounded by having to find a new psychiatrist AND primary care (he retired which sent me over the moon!). Also, fear of seeing the orthopedist. I guess you could say I'm a hot mess at times, but I keep on truckin'.

Yes, sorry to hear of your suffering and praying it eases and soon and fully.
I like to read about my conditions and, if you do, too, here's an article on that very thing - Anxiety AND depression, and things you can do, from Psychology Today, like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and I suggest learning to control your thoughts to positive. Louise Hay, the late Author, said to say this affirmation over and over - "All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation, only good will come. I am safe."
