Help.

[C1D2H3]

I’m a 31 year old mum of one.

Since my late teens I have dealt with chronic panic attacks and depression.

I have gone down so many avenues to try and combat this, talking therapy, CBT, exposure therapy, yoga, meditation etc.

I am currently taking an SSRI and am on propananol due to severe palpitations. I also take an A-Z for women, fish oil and a vitamin D supplement.

I feel like I’m stuck in this life of not wanting to do anything because I have panic attacks where ever I go and whatever I do. I miss out on so much in life because of this. I’ve lost friends because I am so boring and numb to normal life experiences.

I want to get better, I want to enjoy life and be a positive memory for my child but I feel so lost. Any time I speak to the doctor it’s a case of upping medication or the issues I’m facing alongside the anxiety get ignored because my bloods are all normal (tiredness, weight gain, dissociation, facial hair)

I hate my life because of all of this, it’s been years. Any time I try to do even basic exercises like going for a walk, I end up having a panic attack.

Does anyone else deal with this? Have you had any success dealing with this?

Thank you for reading.

Oh poor you. I'm in exactly the same boat, we are the same age, and I'm also a mum of one. I've suffered since I was 18 with severe panic attacks and anxiety which in turn makes me depressed. Like you I've tried every avenue to combat this with no success. Every day is hell on earth. I have massive health anxiety and fear of dying which makes my panic attacks worse. I don't really have any advice as I could have written this post myself. I just want you to know that you are not alone and you have my deepest sympathy. You can private message me anytime.
