I can't get out of my bedroom for shaking

[Gwenmoon]

I have been having very bad episodes of depression right now today I cannot even get out of the bedroom. It took me ages to get up as I have a back problem, arthritis and fibromyalgia . I went and had a shower and I was ok then as I got dressed I started to have a panic attack and now I cannot leave the room to go get my meds. I keep shaking and feel so scared , never felt so bad before. Help what can I do to calm down :scared15: Gwendoline

Hi
Have a lie dlown and just relax which is not easy i know when i did a course thet taught me breathing excercises to cup your hand over our moth and breathe in and out again a few times slowly it did have some effect,but my panic attacks were too bad for it to be any sort of resolution.

Also if you could get your meds is there anybody local a friend/relative who could be on call when you have such a problem to help you with the meds difficult i know,but if you have a trusted friend it could be the answer.

I hope you overcome your problem soon its must be a horrible feeling sending you a hug Richard.:bighug1:

That must be very debilitating for you Gwen, I'm sorry to hear about your condition. Keep distracted, don't dwell on the depression or pain. Have something sensory to engage in - washing up is surprisingly helpful.
