I have been feeling depressed lately.Sometimes when I get really upset I have aniety attacks.

[fauxartist in reply to Sadden]

I have had that happen on the rare occasion and it's scary.... I have to try really hard to focus my breathing to calm down and relax...

[Sadden in reply to fauxartist]

I do that to.I try to breathe to calm down.It does help sometimes.I have been depressed for a few week's now.Just a lot going on.

[fauxartist in reply to Sadden]

it does seem to be that time of year...a lot of people are feeling the fall blues, and I personally hate this time of year as my garden goes to sleep, and it gets colder....so I have to try and stay above it the best I can...but this disease is just that.... we have a chemical imbalance and we feel sad just because we do...it does not have to be any reason why.... and that's what you have to remind yourself.... don't look for a reason to feel this way....you just do and all you can do is hold on till it passes. I do take SSRI's and they help but don't prevent the bad lows, I just don't have as many. Are you in therapy or on meds to help...that isn't always the answer for some, but in the early days....it did help me sort out some contributing factors that made my depression worse.....

I am on medication.I am going to start therapy.The medication isn't really helping.I am afraid to take too much medication.I hope that therapy will help me.I haven't had anything help me.
