Hello Guy,
I'm suffering from the worst depression of my life. I'm 54 yrs. old, American and live in Thailand, by the way. I've had on/off depressive episodes since 1984, anxiety episodes since I was 20. While I haven't been suffering as long as you have (my present problems were ignited last June), I can relate 100% to the feelings of terror that it will never, ever end. Every minute of every waking day is agony and torture.In my latest downturn, it appears pretty certain that the anti-depressant I took, called Aurorix, actually worsened my condition. So I nearly feel as if the drug poisoned me. I KNOW what drug has worked in the past, so I'm planning on going back to the U.S. in early March to get it (then return here). The point is you are not alone. I have been posting a lot on this board and you can see my name frequently if you scan the threads. Now I'm telling you what so many people have told me. You are not alone. Stay in touch. Though our problems are very different, our fears and terrors of never getting out of the nightmare are the same.
