I feel anxiety when I have to talk to others cz I feel like am disappointing everyone and I feel completely lost. I take anxiety medication but it's not working I still get panic attacks at night and i suffer from insomnia. I feel no happiness everything seems so temporary,I just try to distract myself with something or the other but it's not working I still feel extremely down.

I understand you're going through a lot . It is important to prioritize your well-being. You have taken the strong important step in seeking support it is the step to feeling better.
Since the medication isn't helping the way it should , it would be good to speak with your doctor about adjusting it.
Additionally, therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can help manage negative thoughts and anxiety. Having someone to guide you through these feelings and coping strategies could make a difference.
Consult a psychologist to get help manage these overwhelming feelings, even in moments of high stress .

Permanent solution is to accept the challenge, and to solve it,

Hi Dear concerned, It’s essential to seek immediate support. Reach out to a mental health professional to adjust treatment and explore therapy options. Build a routine with calming activities, like deep breathing or journaling. Share your feelings with trusted people for support, as you don’t have to face this alone.

Hey, Iâm really sorry to hear that youâre going through this right now, and I appreciate you opening up about how you're feeling. It sounds incredibly overwhelming, and itâs important to acknowledge that what youâre experiencing is tough and very real.
It seems like your medication might not be working as effectively as it could, and thatâs something definitely worth discussing with your doctor. Sometimes adjustments are needed, or maybe even a different approach might help. Please donât hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional. Whether it's your psychiatrist or therapist to explore different options.
In the meantime, try not to carry the weight of feeling like youâre disappointing others. Itâs really hard to see it in these moments, but your worth isnât tied to how you feel or how others might perceive you.
I am also sensing there may be lifestyle concerns. Modifications in eating, sleeping and movement may help you immensely. I would also highly recommend you to get a blood test done to check for Vitamin B, D levels and levels of magnesium, zinc and iron with a trusted doctor. This may also help you immensely.
I would invite you to seek therapy from a trusted trauma-informed therapist, who specialises in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or EMDR.
Distractions might not be working right now, and thatâs okayâit could be your mind signaling that it needs a deeper kind of care. Youâre not alone in this, and there are steps forward even when things feel hopeless. Please reach out for helpâyou donât have to go through this by yourself.

Hi,
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's important to know that you don't have to go through this alone; reaching out for help is a vital step. It sounds like you're experiencing a profound struggle with depression and anxiety, and the feelings of hopelessness and numbness can be incredibly overwhelming. While medication can help, it may not be enough on its own for everyone, and it could take time to find the right treatment plan. Speaking with a mental health professional can provide additional support and offer coping strategies to help manage your feelings. Consider discussing your experiences with your doctor, as they may suggest adjustments to your treatment, such as therapy or different medications. Please prioritize your safety, and if you're in immediate distress or having thoughts of self-harm, please seek emergency help right away. You deserve support, and there are people who want to help you through this difficult time.
