You are more than welcome. I know that I too am always grateful to find kindness and encouragement when I am struggling.

Don't worry though. Better days are coming your way.

Honestly, "treatment resistant" is just their way of saying they have no idea how to help you because they're incompetent, and you're not "textbook". It's not you.

So on that note...I think you should keep trying until you find someone who is willing to work with you and who will actually put forth the effort into helping you.

best wishes.

Thanks for your post. I kinda agree with what your saying and kinda don't. Yes in some cases untrained or people who are not focused on treating anxiety disorders might easily label someone 'treatment resistant' cause they don't know what to do with them.

However, there is a very real thing. Because I have tried some many therapists using many different techniques, etc. and meds. it is a fair label. I know there are people out there who can help me, the main issue is money. I have none, no income, and no insurance. So it's unfortunate that it seems the only way to get well in my situation is to be able to have money to afford it. I've asked all the 'specialists' if they offer any type of sliding scale or payment plans, anything, and I get the same answer. It's really sad that people who are supposed to be helping those in need can't budge on their fees. I understand they can't do it for everyone, but if I were able to work I'd have insurance to cover it. I just don't see how having a few low-income slots is going to bite into your practice- we all know your making enough already.

Sorry for the rant, thanks for the post, I appreciate it!

Hello!I just wanted to say that I can totally relate!I too don't seem to respond to treatments.Let's just say that I'm also On 1mg of xanax extended release 3 times a day and still have alot of anxiety and panick!Very frustrating!I've also have tied several thyrapist.Everyone around me has pretty much given up.I feel very sad and alone.On another note I am in the position to have to fix myself.That's really what it all comes down to.You have to let go and totally trust God.I'm going through all this right now and have been for almost 12 years!The last 2 years have been very difficult.I'm not willing to give up even though I know that sometimes that's what we feel like.My famous words are "I just can't take this anymore!"It feels like someone is secretly torturing me.I want to make it to the light at the end of the tunnel.We have to start pushing through those fears and sensations and just let them go!I do sometimes think that we're holding on to this because there's something that we don't want to deal with.If your anything like me it's so hard to pinpoint what that is.I really hope this has helped you.God Bless

Hi there,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear you've had a hard time, but I can tell that you are a very hard working who is going to beat this. You have a great attitude and I think that will help you overcome this.

I know why this occured but you don't really need to know why in order to get well. It's just a small component. I'm on Klonopin and it doesn't do much either. All we can do is take it one day at a time and pray.

My thoughts are with you- big hugs !
