Tammy,
wow can I relate to that fear of "never being happy". I have been there. For years. I had severe OCD symptoms, and whenever something new came up, I was afraid that that particular thought would stay with me and torment me "for the rest of my life". I was afraid of meds for a long time.
I am also taking an SSRI, I am on Prozac now and have been for a year. For me it worked wonderfully. Like, "wow!" kind of wonderfully. aybe vbecause I really believed that it just had to work, because I had read a book about somebody for whom it worked and I wanted to be like that person?
I also did a short term cognitive-behavioral therapy, but only for a couple weeks.HANG IN THERE even if you think you will never be happy... oh don't believe that!!!
