im going through A hard Time with panic attacks anxiety depression! :-(

I have been getting anxiety and panic attacks and depression for 10 years now.

It has never gone away, I just try to live with it.

I did try some pills a long time ago but they give me bad side effects so I stopped taking

them
Then was too scared to try any more. I cannot remember the name of them now.

Had some counselling in the past that helped a bit.

I have not much confidence in my self and feel like the odd one out most of the time
I Hate being on my own.

My childhood was not too great. Had a step dad that always put me down and hit me.

He would not let me go to school that much.
I have no education never had a job, Don?t drive, cannot Read and write too well all I do

right I get it spell checked for me.
I have been married for 6 years now but been together for 12 years I have a son, ten

years of age.

i always feel tense - on edge & anxiety & panicky - i feel stressed! All my muscles aches

and pains me :-( how can i relax?

chat soon Lisa :-)

Hi Sweetie! I am a Panic Disorder victim too. It has only been a year that I've been living through fear and this crazy disorder. Til this day I don't know what the root of my breakdown is, but I know for the first few months, I was miserable. I went through the hard-core depressions, the agorophobia, insomnia, didn't eat, cried everyday, hyperventilation, the whole "sha-bang"! I was in total shock and confusion because I didn't know why i feel this and how can I get through this. I have two little girls ages 9 & 5. I would have to tell myself that I had to be strong for them. I hated them seeing me like that so I wouldn't show it in front of them.

Having a strong supporter helps greatly. I cried to my Mom day and night, who would constantly tell me "its all in your head"! Telling yourself to STOP and take slow breaths through your nose helps so much. Just to close your eyes and zone out. The muscle relaxation exercise may help with the stiffness, it takes some patience to learn and concentrate, but once you got it, it helps.

I would surf online for ways to fight it without going on meds. Unfortunately, the numerous paramedic trips and doctor visits had inforced me to take meds. I'm on Paxil and at first, I hated it. I'm getting off of it and switching to a low dose Buspar. You really have to try different meds before you settle with the right one. I have a girlfriend who tried alot of anti-anxiety pills before she found the "one". Every so often I relapse and get panic attacks, but they aren't that extreme, and I continue to tell myself i'm ok. I keep myself extremely busy.

Keeping a journal and writing all your feelings to let it out and let it go. Write a "pretend" letter to your step-dad screaming in writing what you feel and how you felt. Read it outloud to yourself as you let you anger come out. Burn the letter and let your feelings burn away like the paper. Hopefully that will help!

I'm back to working the 8 hr days and keeping my schedule pretty consistent, I feel if my body is scheduled, I don't allow myself to sit, think, and panic. I'm really looking forward to the day I get off the meds completely and live anxiety free. To have hope for success, and strive for the better (day by day), eventually it will happen. Its all up to you. YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN CONTROL THIS.
