I have been diagnosed with a form of depression (I know WOT type) and hydrobrimde taking citalopram 40 mg / day which is an SSRI and a mulitude of anxiety disorders including PTSD that I take 6 5 mg of diazepam a day. I was sexually abused as a child and just left an abusive relationship. The problem is even with all the medications you take and I'm still breaking psychatric care to mourn all over the place and find it hard to leave my house-agoraphobia, the only thing that consistently can do is take care of my son and take him to school. I'ma single mother and has very little support from family, since they are scattered all over the world and only my friends jokingly call me the queen Vally. I feel very alone and sad and I hurt as a result. Any advice out there?
Hello as a PTSD sufferer, 20 years in Fire / EMS, 4 years as an advocate for victims of sexual abuse ... and my own therapy, I would like to discuss this in more detail. I have had good experiences with EMDR and great experiences using EMDR on victims of sexual abuse. Without knowledge of their past or treatment, or signs and symptoms highly suggest that all that trauma is filed yet ... and has not been processed. The good knews is a set of symptoms may disappear if you can make it / if you have not done ..... and I'm Taling things stored in a part primitive brain ... one is not conscious. There lies almost universal and the feelings that you believe in the subconscious that most abuse survivors. There are tools for unlock and move those memories / photos to a different area of the brain that allows them to be processed .... one is EMDR. Please email or IM, if interested, hope I have not bored

What is Anxiety? Anxiety Disorders & Attacks
ANXIETY
The feeling of anxiety is common to all and we have all felt it many times in the course of our lives. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it becomes a disorder.
Find out more on Anxiety Disorders and Panic Attacks
Nearly 40 million people above the age of 18 are affected by this disorder in a given year. Anxiety disorder may be caused by a mental condition, a physical condition, the effects of drugs, or from a combination of these.
Some of the common Types of Anxiety Disorders are:
I PANIC DISORDER
This condition is characterized by periods of intense fear or a psychological distress that lasts for about half an hour.
II GENERAL ANXIETY DISORDER (GAD)
This condition is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry, occurring more days than not for a period of at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities. Having this disorder means always anticipating disaster, often worrying excessively about health, money, family, or work. Sometimes, though, the source of the worry is hard to pinpoint.
III PHOBIC DISORDERS
These are persistent, unreasonable, intense fears (phobias) of situations, circumstances, or objects giving rise to anxiety and avoidance. Phobic disorders are classified as general (agoraphobia and social phobia) or specific.
A) Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia literally means “fear of the marketplace”. Therefore, people with agoraphobia are afraid of open or public places. In reality, most people with agoraphobia are actually afraid of having a panic attack in these settings, especially settings in which there will be no one to help in case of panic attack or an actual emergency.
B) Social Anxiety Disorder
The person suffering from this disorder has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. The anxiety in this case arises out of the fear of being closely watched, judged or criticized by people around you.
C) Specific Phobias
A specific phobia is fear of and anxiety about a particular situation or object. Specific phobias are the most common anxiety disorders. Among the most frequent are fear of animals zoophobia), heights (Acrophobia) and thunderstorms (Astraphobia or Brontophobia).
i) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is a type of disorder involving two elements: obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are repetitive unwanted thoughts that make you feel anxious. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors and rituals that the patient feels compelled to perform as performing them temporarily reduces the anxiety.
ii) Separation Anxiety
This form of anxiety is a normal developmental stage experienced by a child when separated from the primary caregiver. It typically manifests itself as crying and distress when the child is away from a parent or from home.
ANXIETY MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT
At Home: In certain cases, it is possible to treat anxiety at home. However, these cases are limited to ones where the attack is of a short duration and where you know the reason for the attack. In such cases, stress can be relieved by practicing activities such as: Meditation, Watching TV, Deep breathing , Resting in a dark room etc.

Medical Treatment: When the nature of attacks is more serious in nature then the patient has to turn to medical treatment. Medical treatment depends on the cause of the anxiety.
There are cases when the cause cannot be identified. In such cases, the only way to treat is control of symptoms.
Medication does not cure anxiety disorders, but it helps to keep them under control while the person receives psychotherapy.
With proper treatment many people with anxiety disorders can lead normal, fulfilling lives.
