Feeling awful, not wanting to be alone, any advice appreciated

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, I've been having panic attacks and anxiety for some time now. I can go through periods of time of being mostly ok but then seem to go totally down hill and takes me ages to get back on track.

I'm currently going through one of those times. Been having CBT for a while and it really helps but I still feel anxious a lot and more recently have been getting stupid thoughts about things. My boyfriend had to go away with work for a few days and I felt very anxious without him which then made me think very negatively about him or anyone else I know going away. Now my best friend is going travelling and this seems to be making me feel very anxious which I know is stupid. Not sure how to get over this.

Don't have a cbt appointment for 4 weeks yet. Went to my GP and she said I was doing all the right things but I don't feel good at all. It's not like I have a panic arrack then feel okay until the next one. I just feel incredibly anxious all the time.

Considering going back on antidepressants but not sure it will help. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I recently joined a meditation group- everybody is there for relaxation and they are so welcoming. My confidence has grown, I've done things I never thought I could and my heart rate has dropped to a healthy level since starting the group. I would really recommend you try it. I'm not 100% healed but for the first time in years I realised that I was feeling happy. I never thought I could be happy!
