depression, anxiety, panic attacks

Oct 30, 2007 10:11AM - 2 comments

hi iv had anxiety and panic attacks for about 6 years now i missed most of my school years, now im older and going in to jobs im finding it even harder than back then. i got a job and after about 3 months of working there the panic attacks started so i went to the doctors and they put me on a tablet and it made me feel worse and the panic attacks got worse i got pressered to go to work but i couldnt do it so i overdosed on headake tablets and got rushed to hospital, the doctors changed my tablet to citalopram they make me feel alot better but because iv been on the sick for so long (6 months) im terrified to go back. i would like to start fresh at a new job, but because of how long iv been on the sick and cant go back no one would give me a job would they? now im sinking in to depression because i just dont know what to do please help me!

hey this is brandy i  also have anxiety and panic attacks myself,theres really nothing you can do about them but wait them out,but i have them all the time almost everynight.Do you breathe in a bag when you have one?it might help,but also when you start to have one if your at home have someone sit with you and talk you through it ,it seems to help.I use to not know how to deal with it by myself ,but now i just deal with them when i start to feel one come on.and i went to the dr. with mine and theres nothing really they can do about it but give you medicane that dont help,but i know this is probably no  help,but thats all i got !oh also how do you feel with yours cause alot are different?

heya, mine normally happen in the mornings when iv got to go some where like appointment or work seems to be the big one, think it is because im away from home, home is like my bubble i dont like to be out of it for long. everytime i breath in a bag when having them it makes me sick so tend to use an asthma pump that helps. every time i have one i allways try and ring my mum and she talks me through it. ill give you a e.g of mine - i start off walking down a road feeling normal then suddenly i seem to hit a imaginary brick wall when i go through it i start breathing heavy then i collapse and go really dizzy heart beating really fast and it gos on for about 10 to 15 min after it stops i get pins and needles all over my body and sometimes be sick. but one thing i hate is im nearly allways out and about alone when these happen and people out on the street dont no whats happening to me when there looking after me they think im having a fit. so i mite make a little badge to put round my neck saying what i have. do you have the same symtoms?
