Meds didn't work for me. Nor did CBT. The only thing that has helped me is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT can be done using a $20 self-help workbook. ACT has even helped me go back to a job I lost while trying meds and CBT. One of the best ACT self-help workbooks is called "Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life" by Dr. Steven Hayes. Do yourself a favor and look into ACT.
