Has anyone been to many therapists with little to no progress and feel hopeless about their depression and anxiety?

i have been feeling a weird hopeless feeling in the past coue days. i just returned from a trip where i actually had a pretty good time. when i got back i felt very depressed and then i started to feel some of the past deep anxiety feelings. i have been on lexapro since december 19th and i thought it was helping, but the past few days have been very tough. im not sure what that means but i can definately relate to a hopeless feeling. my "what ifs" are that nothing is working and nobody can help, even though there have been plenty of times where things did help and i have felt better in the last couple of weeks. I am kinda worried that i have taken some huge steps backwards and im not sure what that means or what to do.

I feel the exact same way.Ready to just give up on the whole thing and only had the program not even a week. I'm too depressed and anxiety ridden to do the program. Nobody I know understands... not even my psychologist.

Well, that was a few months ago when i wrote you back and i have to say that my anxiety and depression changes from day to day or even week to week. but the one thing i have learned and am learning is that i never go crazy or die like i think i am going to and i actually still can have good days and good feelings. I know that it is the worst feeling in the world when anxiety is at its highest, but it can and will pass. And focusing on hopeful, positive things and not your symptoms or how you feel can help. The worst thing you can do is try to analyze why you feel the way you do. just call it what it is, anxiety-problem thinking-False Evidence Appearing Real... Focus on what is true...your not dying, you will feel better, this process takes time. I am still battling but i am also doing alot better than i was. i have been as low as you could get and in the same day got back to feeling normal. Our mind is very powerful, but you can learn to reprogram your thinking. i just rambled alot but email any time to talk about this stuff because there are many people out there going through the same things and your not alone.I pray God will help you have the Peace that Passes all understanding.
