Carrie - With what you've experienced in your life it's not surprising that you'd be dealing with both depression and anxiety. Thanks for taking a step forward by writing to us and seeking assistance.
While you're on medications to provide support, it would likely help you to have someone to talk to who can help you sort out your feelings and deal with the issues that are causing concern. I'm going to suggest you contact a national hotline that provides free and confidential assistance for people who are feeling alone and helpless. The trained people who answer the calls can both help you and help you locate support in your local community. Please don't read anything into the name of the organization - It's the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), While they help anyone dealing with a suicidal crisis they also help people in emotional crisis, and your comments indicate that you're in such a crisis right now. They are available at all hours, every day of the week. Can you get in touch with them right away? Good luck to you. Pat
