Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks

[LampBench]

This is my first time posting on here. I don't even know where to start. Basically about a month ago, I started having really bad anxiety. I've never had anxiety before. It's only gotten worse. I've developed depression and I have at least one panic attack a day. I've researched and tried everything. I've looked into therapists and psychiatrists, but where I live, there aren't many.Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations. I really need them.

LampBench, I encourage you to make an appointment with one of the few psychiatrists that live in your area. It sounds like you have made progress in researching them. Is telemedicine possible where you live? If so, it is often easier to get an online appointment. I hope that you are able to make an appointment and be seen by a psychiatrist soon.

Welcome LampBench. I would say to reach out to a primary care provider if you can. They can at least get you started. Since this is something new happening to you, it may be a good time to get a physical workup, have your labs done, etc... to see if there is any physical cause to your symptoms. If all is good after that then they may be able to send you in the right direction and help you find psychiatric help. I wish you the best!

Welcome! if you feel a panic attack coming on then you can put an ice cube in your hand and it helps. I hope you can find help and support soon 😉
