Okay. I'm 22 years old and I'm letting my anxiety run my life. It get so bad it turns to depression. Therapists are not working for me. I can't seem to find the right one. This doctor put me on lexapro which I just started taking today. It gets so bad that if my boyfriend doesn't call me when he gets home from a night out with the boys I have an anxiety attack which lasts all night until I hear from him. I then get no sleep and have to work the next day. Then since I'm exhausted I get depressed and my life goes downhill from there. I need help with this and I have no idea where to start. Anyone know what I'm going through and have ideas?

Thanks for all the help guys! Are there any natural things I can do like food to eat or exercise more or something?

Hi Corissa,

Lexapro worked wonders for me. I never felt a therapist alone did any good, but everyone is different. Give the lexapro a week or two and you will see a difference :)

Keep trying different therapists. You need to find one you connect with. Believe me I have tried probably 5 or so before I found a great one. Its like any other profession, there are good ones and bad ones. And from being on lexapro I can tell you it is going to take a few weeks for you to start to feel the effects. Welcome to the site.

Its both. He has never cheated on any girl and we are crazy in love but I get scared when he drinks and I'm not there and that there may be another girl. But there never is. And I also get scared that he will get in an accident on the way Home and I will lose him. I have anxiety really bad and ocd too. I have tried to pinpoint it by myself I just don't understand this stuff very well and therapists I go to never help me.
