Hi guys I haven't been on in a while, I am still struggling bad every day with extreme anxiety and panic attacks to the point were I want to pass out.

I feel so alone because I feel like I am bringing everyone down with me so I stay away, I don't get any joy for any of the things I used to.

My thoughts are very distorted and I feel like am goni insane.

I feel your pain, as I feel so alone too and that I’m bringing everyone down. I feel that everyone overgeneralizes in how to get better because they don’t understand.

I had been trying to get better without prescription medication. My negative thoughts have not allowed me to make any positive improvement, so I decided to go on an antidepressant. I’m hoping that it can provide me with some relief to where I can focus on other ways of getting better; talk therapy, cognitive therapy, meditation, excercise. These have been proven ways to help relieve mental illness but without willpower they won’t work.

Have you tried any of these things? I hope that the medication with give me some kind of willpower to persevere and I hope that you can find some relief too.

Also, I recommend reading the book, “Feeling Good,” by David Burns. Although I have had trouble reading it due to my negative thoughts, I do hope that it can eventually provide me with insight, & you too.

Loneliness is a terrible feeling. We can feel better!

First, you are not going insane. This sucks. The fear and guilt that go along with anxiety and depression is suffocating. I suffer from very similar problems. I am terrified of having more panic attacks. I try to celebrate every second that I amokay. I try not to let it have control.

I can relate to all of those feelings. Know that there is hope & people who feel just like you. I assume if you havent been on in a while you were doing well enough during your absence. What helped then?

ive had a few episodes like yours recently.life has a lot going on too much for the head to cope at times.here to chat if you want.

I was the same for 7 months its terrible! You need to accept it an it will slowly go away. Wen you feel u dont want to do anything push yourself & go for a walk meet up with friends. Are you in therapy or anything?
