I Gave my life back over to christ and i currently take klonopin i fell better but the aches and pain and thoughts of death always get to me what can i do
It sounds like you need two things--first, someone professional to talk to and help you figure out what you need in order to feel better. Probably you need a chance to grieve and heal from your father's death, and also some treatment for the trauma of his dying so young. There may be more wounds you need a chance to heal from as well. The second thing I recommend is seeing a psychiatrist who can figure out what medication works best for you. You may need an anti-depressant, which works for anxiety too, while you also do talk therapy with someone. Are these do-able steps for you?
For 25 years, compassionately helping women heal from depression, and it's
destructive criticism, losses and traumas, while building self-acceptance and confidence.
