Hi,
my names Mike, i have been suffering from anxiety now for as long as i can rememeber. Its got worse when i got into my teens and i turned to drink and drugs to relieve the symptons which led to multiple addictions and various other behavoural problems. Im 24 now and have over the past year managed to stop taking all drugs completely, but now i am plagued with anxiety again and depression as a result of the fact that i have no life what so ever. My doctor has prescribed SSRI anti depresents but they dont seem to stop the anxiety and if i ask him to prescribe anything else, like say valium or beta blockers for when i am going to try to get out into the real world for a job interview or a date ect he just flat out refuses and says he cant as i have suffered with addiction in the past. He is being very unhelpfull and sometimes seems rather smug about it. Which has left me feeling like thats it this is the rest of my life now there is no help. Starting to wonder whats the point??
