Boy, have I been where you have been. The end of 1989 and first part of 1990. Would wake up during the night feeling so anxious and scared that something was wrong with me. I lost alot of weight and was very tired all of the time. I had psychosomatic illnesses. My stomach was in a knot all the time. Felt like I was in a cloud for so long. One day after Christmas my father-in-law who is a doctor, put me on prozac. 2 months later I was seeing clearer than I have ever seen. The beauty of the world became clear and I couldn't believe I could feel this good. Prozac brought me out of my depression. I never felt like committing suicide, but just felt so awful I just wanted to die. I do not take prozac anymore, but I take a mood stabilizer for bi-polar. Just was diagnosed with that last year. Most people who are bipolar also take prozac or any other anti-depressant. There is hope for you. All you need to do is find the right doctor, a psychiatrist, who can give you the best treatment. One other thing, I believe that you have alot of anxiety just as I did and yes I still do, but at least the depression went away and the anxiety is at the low end. Good Luck
