The hospital didn't happen yesterday and after my night and my day so far I just don't have it in me to try today. I'm not suicidal or depressed. I'm just dead or empty inside today and I could care less about anything or anyone so I'm choosing to write here and let you all know. Thanks for listening.

At least you tried to get help. That is amazing to me as it shows you have a good attitude even if it didnt work out.

Dragon, I do not know what caused your anxiety disorder in the first place, whether it is a reaction to something or whether inherited. But you know how easily our nerves can play tricks on us and convey horrible feelings of hopelessness and despair: it's so easy to get caught up in the chain reaction of anxiety leading to symptoms leading to more anxiety leading to more symptoms.

Dragon, the symptoms are many, the answer always the same. Stop fighting the symptoms, accept them for the time being; learn to live with your anxiety and you'll be able to live without it. Fighting back, obsessing and stressing about your anxiety only makes things worse, they are the sustenance on which over sensitised nerves feed and thrive.

I presume you have been examined by your doctor, maybe even had a second opinion. I don't know you Dragon but I tell you this: you are in no danger, you are not about to die, in time you will recover and your thoughts and feelings return to normal.

Happiness will enter your life once again, why shouldn't it? Part of your feeling of emptiness is caused by nervous exhaustion: you need more sleep and lots of it, seek out relaxation techniques, search out the self help techniques which are so right for you.

Only a thin barrier divides you from the happy world of normalcy which is waiting to welcome you. You have only to kick the door in!
