If you haven't done so already, I would find a family doctor. He will then refer you to a councilor or psychatrist. If you find yourself in a desperate situation, I would call 1-800-SUICIDE for their hotline. They can even help get you to the right help that you need. They all have connections and work together for your health. Don't despair, things will get better now that you are taking the right steps.
And the longer you wait the worse it can get!! youve already made the first step by realising you have something wrong and by asking for help. SO yeah GO for it!!
Sounds similar to wat I had, except I saw a doctor and found out it was "anxiety".When you get stressed out you can become anxious. Thats why you start to get the shakes and have trouble breathing and have trouble getting to sleep. I was told to get up at the same time everyday so to get your body into a sleeping pattern because lack of sleep can increase anxiety. and try not to have naps through the day as this will make it difficult to sleep at night on top of the anxiety. but YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!! you'd have a better chance of getting to sleep if you were both mentally and physically tired. So excerise is great. Sounds to me that you have a bit of anxiety but you should check it out anyway. I'd recommend that you see someone whether it be a doctor or counseller you will feel so much better. and they will help you get through this! hope that helps. good luck! :D
Let us know how you go.
cheers
i feel you! i was in the same boat long ago. whatever any doctor, or person who thinks they're a doctor tells you, never never go on benzo's. addictive, numbing, and did i mention addictive? i went to treatment because i couldn't get off them, and when i tried, i'd get sick. seizures and all.
GO see a doctor. the longer you wait, the worse it'll get. trust me. there's absolutely NO reason to wait. there's a lot of things that can be done for this, just don't wait any longer. nobody should have to live this way. the world can be so beautiful, and wouldn't it be great to be freed from yourself and your monsters?
you've been in town for a year, not a day, plenty of time to see a doc. even if you go to a free clinic. make yourself, or you will never feel better. if you don't want to do it for you, do it for your girl.... the you part will eventually come, don't worry.
GET UP!!!!
GO!
Also when I try to sleep it takes so long to get to sleep and then no matter how much I sleep, I am still tired throughout the day.. I don't understand it.. I take naps and everything yet I'm still tired... I have friends I can talk to, but they only help until I'm done talking to them.. I've been through a lot and I get stressed out easily.. also when I am mad about something, then I have troubles breathing and I start to shake.. I don't know what's going on with my body and why I feel like I do.. can anyone help me out here?
I've never seen a doctor about anything.. and I read a lot about depression.. is it possible I could be depressed? I am happy as can be at times and then out of no where I feel like crying.. I have a tendancy to blame everything that goes wrong on myself and have at times considered suicide... Sometimes I feel there is nothing to live for and that could last a week or less or more.. and then I'm happy again.. what's going on???
I forgot to mention that I stay in the USA. I appreciate any advise y'all can give me.
