JohnGoober Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't know how to begin this and I've put it off for a really long time. I guess my life changed after a girl used me and cheated on me. I started having anxiety attacks, panic attack, depression. I thought the anxiety feeling..constant headache that never goes away, feeling tired all the time would go away after sometime but it's been more than 2 years now and It's still stronger than ever. I turned into an emotional wreck and I now have low self-esteem and no self-confidence. I wasn't like this before, I studied well, I was a musician, I helped others and overall, I was a social and happy person. But now, I'm a completely different person. Because of my anxiety problems, I scored very low in my engineering. I haven't felt "normal" or calm since two years..you know, the normal feeling..no panic mode, no racing heart. This is ruining my life, my relationships with others. I've become a lazy procrastinator. I have never been close to my family and I could never tell them these problems and I don't believe in shrinks. I don't feel this way when I'm around people but as soon as they're gone, my intense anxiety starts. These feelings are overwhelming..I don't know if I can take these anymore..I just want to feel normal. I don't know the root cause of my anxiety, depression. Everything in my life has gone downhill since my anxiety started. I've tried going to gym, traveling, eating healthy food, spending time with friends, animals, swimming...and nothing has helped, I still have this intense anxiety feeling. If there was a way to commit suicide and make it look natural, I would do it as I don't have the heart to hurt my loved ones. I want to be happy like others. I'm capable of achieving so much when I'm normal. How much longer do I have to wait for these feelings to fade away? Link to post Share on other sites
Downtown Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I started having anxiety attacks, panic attack, depression.John, the issues you describe -- anxiety, panic attacks, and depression -- typically arise from a chemical imbalance in the body. For that reason, they usually are highly treatable with medication that restores that balance. Moreover, counseling may also be helpful so as to learn some skills and tricks for avoiding situations that aggravate your anxiety. I therefore urge you to see a psychiatrist who, having both an MD degree and PhD in psych, will be able to prescribe the meds you likely need to restore a balanced body chemistry.
