Frustrated with my anxiety! Please help!

[qtsmiles84]

So my issues with anxiety started 3 years ago. I am a stay at home mom..at that time my kids were 1 and i had a 3 month old baby. My husband just got layed of from job, and was now working a job he hated! I got extremely overwhelmed and that morning i woke up dizzy, completly out of my mind, confused, felt like i was going to die or loose my mind. I finally went to my doctor 3 months after that since my symptoms werent going away. He put me on zoloft...i went home and started taking the meds...i did good on the meds for about 10months and then i started getting my same symptoms back. The feelings of not being "present" never went away while on meds but i didnt think about it as much. After the 10months on the meds i had few what i would call an extreme feeling of not feeling present, my heart would race, and i would get dizzy. Its the scariest feeling ever! I wouldnt wish it on anyone! So i thought the meds werent working, and they were making me very tired. I then started seeing a psycologist...i went the first time and cried the whold session lol...she suggest upping my dose of zoloft....i didnt think that would work so she adviced my dr to change me to celexa. At this time i began to feel better again...they symptoms began to subside...but thd feeling of being detached from the world and myseld have never gone away...ever!. I decided to not go back on meds and just do the cousiling...which was working ou fine until i relized how expensive therapy is! I was forced to stop cause of cost. Since then i havr just been living with it..and i am just so tired of if! I dont knos what else to do...i sick of feeling this way...i feel like im missing out on life! All the articles i have read have said that its all in your head and u just need to change your mindset...but know body ever tells u how! Ive tried thinking positive and to pray and know that God is with me and will bring me peace...but everytime things get better ill have an "episode" and i feel like im taking 10 steps backward! Can anyone help me? Im extremeley frustrated and am ready to get on with my life already! Thanks for your help..
