Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The medicines prescribed by your doctor are combination. Your doctor is your best judge and you must trust him and believe that you will be cured with those medicines. You have these symptoms because you are thinking too much. Leave the thinking and go for your daily routine. Have a job and do it whole heartedly. Involve in a hobby and enjoy it. Be active in some outdoor sports and live with it. Exercise and have healthy diet. All these should give you good relief. Instead of doing things which should help you overcome anxiety and depression, you are lamenting your problems and your fate and doctor. How is it justified? Anxiety and depression are not diseases, but disorders. Disorders are treated with lifestyle changes and psychotherapy.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
