I am working through similar issues... Well, make sure you're getting proper nutrition and vitamins (no caffeine). Your body is probably revving so hard, that you're burning through all your nutrients - so need to replenish. Try the amino acid L-Theanine which helps with anxiety and SAM-e which helps with depression. Also, if you get panic attacks, Ativan under your tongue can stop it right away (ask your doctor about it - but, be careful to not use it too much - it can be addictive). And, really research any anxiety medication you're given beforehand. Maybe an older drug like Ellavil would be better - again, do some research.
Also, once you're stabilized, try to find a good, highly-qualified hypnotherapist. They can do wonders to get the body and mind to slow down - and to make life more comfortable.
Good luck to you. Also know that there are many posts on this site - which means that there are many others working through tough issues. So, you're not alone. And, your life has value - so, make yourself take better care of your body and mind.
