I have being suffering for over a year with this depression anxiety issue. I made it through my divorce, house sale, custody issues, new job etc. But now with a recent mild heart attack, job layoff, and relationship problems, I seem to not see an end to this pain. My anxiety attacks seem to last all day and night, unless it is a heart attack again, I don't know how to deal with it.

Please help. I feel alone and helpless

Hi Sparky26, I'm sorry you are feeling this way at the moment :(

If it were me, I would try to stay calm, pick up on every special moment, for example, the shining moon, smell of flowers etc....though obviously, not if they are any things you are allergic too.

Also, I would stay in contact with the health care professionals.

I don't know that this helps, but I am hoping you feel better and gain any help that you need.

:)

Sparky sorry your feeling bad. I manage through it because I have a 12 year old who needs me. I have had my anxiety back now for about a year and a half. I had been sick for that long and nobody could tell me why. My anxiety went through the roof not knowing what was wrong. Just recently got it figured out. If you already had a heart attack, do you feel like your symptoms are like that? If not it's most likely anxiety. But it sounds to me like it might give you peace of mind to go get checked and be reassured. I know sometimes I can be relieved by them telling me I'm okay. Sending positive thoughts your way.

I try to focus on my 8 year old son. But when he's not with me I feel so alone and helpless. My girlfriend went away for 10 days with her family "to clear her head". Don't know what that means but I won't be able to find out for a week. Just being alone compounds things

When my daughter is at a friends I read or listen to music. Find something to keep your mind busy. Easier said than done trust me I know. I'm still trying to figure it out too.
