Don't know where to turn or what to do

[Ovalbug]

Yes, I think the quest for perfection and wanting something/things fixed is definitely part of anxiety/depression! I think seeing the psychiatrist will really help (in my case, this is true) Also, loneliness is also part of the condition.

Please could you tell me what happened during your psych meeting and what the outcome was?

I tend to over simplify things and can;t see past a conversation going along the lines of...

What's up?

Long term clinical depression, PTSD, social anxiety.

What have you tried so far?

I list all the drugs tried and their intolerable side effects - all SSRIs + Mitrazapine, (plus months of talking therapy).

He/she says, "yes, they're common side effects of these drugs".

I say - "yes I know, I've 'finished the internet' looking for an answer - please can I try Wellbutrin as it looks to work well, with no sexual side effects"

He/she says "I wouldn't recommend that for you, as you have significant anxiety which will be exasperated with Bupropion..."


I'm just frightened that there isn't a solution available.
