I’m not sure how to describe what my life was like when I was 12 do you have a question

[Hidden in reply to Buttercup4]

B4,

It's possible your situation at 12 contributed in some way to the D+A+P symptoms you and I have both experienced.

My parents divorced at 12.

My father lined his 5 kids up,

Said I'm leaving forever, and left,

with no explanation at all...

New here too. I think many people are experiencing worsening symptoms during the pandemic. I never had panic attacks outside of driving until last month. It's actually a little scary. I'm glad I found this group. It really helps to know other people are going through the same thing.

yes i agree, i wasnt even aware that i might have depression and social anxiety until i went to college this year during covid. the pandemic really just amplifies whatever isnt going right in your life

[Buttercup4 in reply to tub2c]

That’s stressed in itself going to college you’re doing a good job just keep going

[Buttercup4 in reply to BluePeppermint]

That’s the thing with panic attacks symptoms are always changing it’s always different it’s just a matter of learning how to control it

Welcome to the group buttercup!

I know how you feel.

Is there anything you think that is causing this? What is worrying you?

I think we all are feeling some level of depression. This has been a challenging year. But of course that doesn’t help you. Have you talked to your Dr. about how you’ve been feeling? If not, I would surely suggest you see what a professional would recommend. What I try to do is to be very mindful of what I’m allowing into my thoughts. Stay away from negativity on social media, TV, family members, etc. guard your heart and your mind. I have some articles I can share if you’d like. Inbox me if you’re interested. Take good care use this forum, we’re here for you.

Hello and welcome to the forums. So sorry to hear of the way that you have been feeling. Have you been to see your doctor and/or a licensed counselor?

They may be able to help you start to sort through why you are feeling this way. I would also encourage you to look at Louis Giglios message I lift my Hands for his story. We are definitely living in challenging times. Please let me know if you would like any additional resources.
