Clinical Anxiety Disorder associated with chronic pain and illness

[Jeffwhosoever]

I'm in counseling and looking for more help. Does anyone know of an online counseling service that isn't terribly expensive? I've been 3 times to my counselor but we really haven't gotten far with Cognative Behavioral Therapy for anxiety though I need it also for insomnia and depression. Anyone ever use an online counseling service that you would recommend?

I'm sorry, I don't know about those, but I'm wondering if you might be helped with a "jump start" of anti-depressant. It might allow you to get more out of the therapy. Your counselor may even be in touch with a psych. dr. who can prescribe for you! (Anti-depressants are very often used for both depression and anxiety.) On the other hand, if that dr, wants to prescribe you any benzodiazepines, I would run the opposite direction fast. So many times drs will prescribe them for anxiety - not for depression - even for a few weeks only so you don't get addicted but many are sensitive enough to them to get addicted faster.
