idk what to do

[copingwithcomedy]

I've had three medication changes in the past year and each time it helps for a time, and then I have panic attacks and I just spiral down to the point where I can't function. I was fighting through it at college for a while, but then it was just to bad and couldn't keep going to class or being around people. I quit the medication I was taking and my anxiety and depression only got far worse. I can't find any relief at all from anything. I feel so alone and it doesn't seem like anything can help me. I tried some Atarax a few days ago that helped but I'm already building a tolerance and it doesn't help as much. Every day just continues to get worse. I just have a horrible feeling in my chest and I just feel like I'm not real. I constantly feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack and I feel so depressed and hopeless. Has anyone had an experience like this that's gotten better?

I used to have major panic attacks and I somehow got a hold of an old book entitled Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes. It helped me immensely.

Are you seeing a therapist in addition to taking the medication? I needed both. Also, I've found in the past that some people mistake a psychiatrist as a therapist. They're usually not very good with theraphy.

yeah I'm seeing a therapist every week.

I'm talking with my Psychiatrist tomorow about getting a new medication so that should help alot.
