Hi
I suffer with depression and have done for a while, I used to be on citalopram but I just turned into a zombie and eventually broke up with girlfriend as a result, I came off them and tried to make a fix myself, this went terribly wrong and am now on sertraline, one part of my problem's are anxiety attacks. I wake up every morning with major tension which at some point leads on to me breaking down and crying, the crying can come on straight away or it may be in an hour, the tension seems to stay most of the day and sometimes will break down a few times in the day, as I write this I am in a flood of tears.
The GP's in england are not interested they have a 'pull yourself together' attitude, I have changed doctors a few times now as one of the doctors I was seeing I spoke with about panic attacks whilst sitting in front of her crying my eyes out, she just asked if I had access to the internet at home and if so, I should google panic attacks. another doctor I begged that I need help please help me, I'm losing control i don't know who I am anymore and can not get a grip of myself, he replied 'ok ok I have heard you ranting, but you need to keep going with the medication I'll see you again in two weeks'.
I just feel to give up, you get to a point where you think there is just no help, I feel like there is no future for me and I am going to be this way forever now stuck on meds.
Thanks for listening...
