So my anxiety and depression have gotten out of hand. I dont know if im sick with some sort of disease. I have gone to 2 doctors and they havent helped much. I tried to make an appointment with a neurologist today but they were closed when i called. I am very scared this is my first time dealing with severe panic attacks. I have no support at home. I'm alone and I am very scared. I would like to meet people who have a condition like me. please

I have suffered from panic attacks for over 35 years. They are much better and under control but I can still have one when life throws me a curve ball.
I know how disturbing it is to feel these, you feel so out of control, but I promise once you start addressing what is happening by see a Doctor, medicine can help immensely. When I first addressed mine with a doctor he put me on Prosac and within two weeks, I felt SO MUCH BETTER.
There are a lot of us out here that have panic. Mine is situational.
Hoping you find relief soon. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Hi Monica

Welcome to the forum you will find good support here from others who can relate to what you are going through so your not alone we are here to help support you.

I would speak with your doctor about anxiety management as lots can be done to help such as medications and talking therapies.

Have a look at our resources section for some good links to self help especially the Mindfulness Meditation ones.

Keep us posted.

Hi Monica and welcome!

We are glad you've found us, though sorry it is due to anxiety challenges.

Keep looking for your answers and you'll find them. Push your doctor to find the issue...and if/when you get a definitive dx of anxiety...you can then get a treatment plan going...one that may include medication and /or therapy.

For now, as Hibee mentioned. ..Please take advantage of our Resources at the top of the forum page here. The 'Stress Relieving Exercises ' are a good choice as well as the meditations.:)

Keep posting too! We understand, care and support is key!

Talk soon,

Hi Monica,

You definitely have come to the right place, as we all do share similarities in our struggles with panic/anxiety disorder. This is an incredibly supportive group, with a lot of love,(virtual) hugs, and compassion to give.

Anxiety does indeed have a habit of making you feel like you have some undiagnosed illness and of catastrophizing certain thought patterns. When you went to your doctors, did they run a series of tests (blood work, blood pressue, etc.) to rule out any pre-existing conditions? If they couldn't find anything, I definitely recommend seeing a psychologist/therapist to see about a treatment plan that works for you!

In the meantime, we are here for you!
