Hello.....I am new to this forum.  Hope it will help me to connect with people who have the same disorder.  I was diagnosed with depression about 12 years ago and have had about 5 episodes.  I think this one is the 5th or maybe the 6th...lost count.  The last one I had was the worst because I developed insomnia and lost alot of sleep which seemed to aggravate the symptoms.  I take trazadone to help with the sleep so hopefully, tonight I will get some good sleep(well needed).  It seems to still be as bad as I remembered it to be, but I hope to use the tools I learned from the last time to ease the pain...

*HUGS* Welcome to HW Deary.

I haven't been around a lot but I've been apart of the forum for a long time.

I've suffered from anxiety and panic attacks since I can remember.

I don't suffer with depression so I can't connect on that. I only get depressed from getting so many panic attacks and the fact that I can't travel. That def depresses me.

BIG HUGS

We are all here for you! Try reading a book, no matter what time of day it is I will pass out from reading a book.

Hello! I'm new here, too. I've read many books on anxiety and panic attacks. Sometimes in the books are ideas on coping with depression. A doctor said you must live your day "as if" you're not depressed. The key words are "as if". Eventually your body and mind will get the clue. Practice. Let us know how you're doing!
