Can anyone give me an answer

You need to get your anxiety under control first.  Are you taking anything for that?  Be patient with your doctor and keep him/her informed of your current feelings.  He may need to make some changes with your meds.  I strongly suggest counseling in addition to what you're already doing.  Start by going on small outings with someone you trust and just go at your own pace.  Best wishes

I agree with your doctor about working helping but when you are gripped by something like this it is excruciating to even leave the house, let alone work.  I'm going to throw out a couple things here and you can tell me if I'm way off mark or getting close.  Do you get outside much in the sun?  Light helps to supplement melatonin in our brains thus boosting energy and raising serotonin levels in the brain which combats depression.  You can actually buy a light box which you can sit in front of for a short period of time, these boxes deliver about 10,000 lux (where sitting in an average home with shades open deliver 200 to 300 lux.  There is also an excellent easy to read book I highly recommend called "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook"  by Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D  you can find in bookstores.  Please read.  You should probably get back on your anti-anxiety meds even though you feel numb because you probably still are carrying a constant low-grade stress continually.  If one of your antidepressants does not work don't hesitate to try another until something works.  You probably have a persistent resistant type of depression that just needs some fine tuning, and I am certainly not making light of this,  it is devastating and paralyzing and hell to live with.  I'm so sorry.  Hope this has been of some help.

the only one of these questions i answer on psychiatry are what i recognize.  i am not a doctor nor am i a mental patient.  i am a family member of a schizophrenic.  take it for what it's worth, print out your question and get to a GOOD neurologist/psychiatrist SOON.  there IS help out there.  do NOT rely on meds, but know that they are part of teh solution.  you need a lot of counseling and you do need meds -- maybe a few years -- maybe for life.  but it WILL get better.

Sounds tough but it is depression... not anxiety.  You need someone to teach you some positive and motovating thinking techniques to counteract that apathy.  Things that may cause it are lonliness, sense of belonging (family or community), lack of goals and ambition or perhaps even failing to see what you have achieved.  I will not discount spirituality either as I feel that all people have a spiritual need and that must be fulfilled to be more complete.  I have my own spirituality that gives me direction in life in soo many ways, it's amazing.  Now I know you may be saying "no you don't!"  But even if a person is athiest or seeking money they are looking for fulfillment and a sense of direction and completion by believing what they do.  So these may be matters to address.  I am no professional, just had a lot of life experience and my own battles.. eve for a young fella...lol.  Feel free to reply if you want explanation on any of this.
