For few days I can't sleep at night although I'm very tierd. I have all thise negative toughts like I will never fall asleep or nothing can help me so my heart starts to beat very fast and my mind can't shut down so I start to shake and have panic attacks and I just can't calm down. And during the day i feel anxious too just because I can't stop thinking about it. Nothing interest me and I feel helpless ans scared all the time.

Can someone help me!

      They will tell me that it's just anxiety AGAIN I've been waiting for CBT since September they take forever and I tried medication but it made me worse so I darent try anymore. I'm taking my mother in law to docs with me because they don't listen to me at all. I'm sure you will be fine, thing is we all know deep down were probably ok but it's hard to convince ourselves x

    Hi guys,

    I think you should consider medication and therapy. They can be very helpful, especially together!

      Oh my goodness yes!! Exactly like you, no trigger. I was happy as can be, no financial problems, great family, everything. And it just hit out of nowhere which was very scary.

      I know there's the stigma against medication. I tried many natural remedies as well paired with therapy, but different techniques help different people. The problem with forums are that the people who have beaten their depression/anxiety have moved on, and so it seems like nobody has an answer cause the people posting are still struggling. I have been on Prozac for 2 weeks and already the depression/anxiety is not as debilitating as it was. I can definitely think more clearly, and have great days and then go back down, but that's how it is when you start medication. But I do feel a difference! I was scared to try anti depressants for obvious reasons, but I'm glad I decided to help myself.

      That's how my anxiety is in the morning. For me it improves after 3:00. But then the mornings hit!
