Hope

[Worriedman19]

Well today I visited a new doctor who seemed to give hope on managing my anxiety and depression. He told me that no person should suffer from multiple panic attacks daily. It was very hard for me to change doctors due to my over physician has been with me for ten years. But I feel positive on moving forward on to new meds and therapy

Please see a psychiatrist- I got a proper diagnosis after 27 years of my GP saying I was ‘just depressed’. I actually have Generalised Anxiety Disorder. Also checkout Anxiety UK website for help. Good luck

Hardest diagnosis I ever had and definitely gave me more panic attacks than before. Today have cardiology stress test - how’s that for a perfect recipe for a panic attack? Have taken diazepam but oh my, am I dreading it.

Good luck

Hi!

I hope you are feeling better! You are in my prayers! I went through the same thing for years, but it was caused by a metabolic change. I could hardly wait to go to bed at night, so I wouldn’t feel the panic. I really empathize! I did find an outlet from the panic though. I started going to the golfing range and hitting golf balls. It helped me focus on something else that I enjoyed and gave me relief. It was very helpful. But I wasn’t able to get over the panic entirely until I started taking Zoloft. It was amazing for me. I hope this might be helpful! I wish you the very best! My heart goes out to you.

All my best,

BC
