Hi Ash, I'm sorry you are going through that, I have been there myself. I had a rough season with panic attacks and that put into a deep depression. I know that it feels hopeless at time, I worked with my therapist and I can tell you it was not easy. I forced myself to get up everyday and do something positive for myself. I feel that what help me the most was engaging in some time of activity like walking. I would write down my moods and make little changes daily.
I really hope you feel better, much love.

Good Morning
All will pass.. Try to be positive.. I know it's not easy but it's possible.. I was using depression pills, anxiety,ulcer and heart Meds... I've managed to leave anxiety, ulcers, and depression pills. It's possible. You must pray a lot as well.. When you feel dehydrated us rehydrate.. They help alot.

the heart meds have supressed the pvcs almost completely. i still have a couple here and there which i assume is normal. i guess its never a total fix unless we go for cath ablation which is scarier than pvcs. the ativan help me to think rational during an attack which for me is that im not dying. the pvcs cause panic but i need to understand that the irrational fear is the panic talking. im just depressed and overly anxious because all this has cost me my job unfortunately. deep down idk if im capable of working. the first panic attack i have will be a closed deal to any employer

Ash I was in a very deep and dark place for about six months and my panic attacks were very intense. However, I did realized one thing, there is not medication that would give you will power. The only way O have been able take control is by believing in me and make changes that would benefit. I understand that depression does not let us see how beautiful and capable we are but we can beat that. A new season is coming your way, find the power within you.

Ash one of the worst things you can do is not getting enough sleep , it is when you sleep your body regenerates itself . The more sleep you deprive your body the more it over reacts . Here is a tip ,,, get in your most comfortable chair ,wrap up warmly , sip on warm milk ( this being a relaxation enhancer ) play a game on your phone / device , keep your mind on that game ,let yourself drift to sleep , when you wake ,you will see the rest was much needed .. One thing is for sure , you are torturing yourself ,for no reason . If anything were going to happen ,it would whether you are awake or . asleep . Test have been done , medications given ,, no worries from your medical professionals . You are ok ash !! You will get over this but it will take effort on your part . When you wake , start a new day ! Start by doing some stretches from side to side , get good blood flowing , then go through your house touching things , this puts your mind in the realization mode . Look into you families face and from the heart see how much you want to get well for them . At a slow pace all during the day , do house chores , rearrange a little giving a new aspects ,a new look , plan a great dinner ,write down the planned menu . Go out and breath in the fresh air cloudy or not , do this several times a day .. Eat lightly but healthy , do this each day , you will get better !

Hi ash,
Youre having such a terrible time.
My dr said that sometimes anxiety and depression go hand in hand. So some might start with anxiety and panic which then leads to depression. And it looks like its gone that way for you unfortunately 😦 youll be ok, just take it a day at a time. Once you have got hold of your panic and anxiety you should be able to start functioning a little better as time goes on, dont be too hard on yourself and just focus on your mental health and getting better. Have you got your blood work done? You really need to if you havent there could be simple answers to the reason why you are having all these terrible symptoms.
