You are right Scott. I just feel like I am running out of time. My employment insurance ends soon and then I will have no income at all.
I think in order to do any of the things you mentioned, I would have to take some of my Klonopin to calm me down enough to do these things. I try to distract myself by reading or writing or going for a walk, but the whole time I am thinking about my problems. Even if I go out with friends it's the same thing.
Thanks.

> Maxime, you MUST find a way to reduce your level of anxiety. Take a temporary vacation from the thoughts that plague you by doing something you enjoy or at least provides a distraction. Go for a walk. Take a nap. Read a book or magazine. Take a bubble-bath. If sufficiently distracted, your anxiety level will abate, and you will be able to think more clearly and perhaps reduce the size of the catastrophy that you feel overwhelmed by.

I have never been in the hospital for depression or suicidality, even though I have been experiencing nothing but for years. I have found that anxiety is the killer, not the vegetative anergia of depression.
