Few months back I went for counseling and was diagnosed with social anxiety, and anxiety in general and my counselor said I have signs of clinical depression but on my 7th session with my counselor she was yawning and covered herself with blanket Whole she was sitting.. I kinda of felt she wasn’t listening.. I get it’s tough for them.. but It felt it wasn’t really helping so I discontinued, coz I was paying her 70$ Per session. She did give me one good advice - that all work is godliness even house work.. which I good advice but she didn’t really help otherwise with my attacks or this constant feeling which I want to snap out of. And I don’t think I have the energy to talk again about my childhood and all over again with some other counselor. So does anyone know how I need to go about it? I can get any help seriously. I don’t have thoughts about killing myself or anything. Just low self esteem, affecting my day to day work, and anxiety attacks, mainly social anxiety. I want to be stronger when baby number 2 arrives and much much happier and healthy mentally. I have a 2and half year old and right now only have energy to care for her fully and not myself..I’m 8 weeks pregnant and want to be happier mentally And well prepared before the baby 2 arrives. Coz I baby no. 2 is a blessing. help with any suggestions please.

I suffer from severe anxiety but it is under control just now. I take sertraline and it literally changed my life. I feel normal for the first time in years

Did your doctor prescribe that for you?
