Hi I'm new to! I'm determined that my experiences with depression and panic will make me a better person and I'll come out stronger but it's tough, the toughest things I've ever managed. For me it's the gulf I feel between myself and everyone else, even those I trust, love and adore that upsets me most. I find it very lonely, even when I'm in a room full of people. Grr. Anyway just thought I'd say hi x

Thanks SOS, i did go to see my doctor 8 months ago, but he said it was probably just a phase. Im to embarrassed to go back again and tell him I'm still feeling like this, i got into a right mess in his surgery last time, crying and couldn't breathe properly while i was trying to tell him. I need to just get over myself and make an appointment i guess, just not ready yet. And hello Lovemyfriends, I'm not too sure how this site works yet but I've been having a look around and some people are like pen pals so if your new too and need someone to talk to I'm here :) I understand what you said about being in a room full of people and still feeling lonely, i feel like that a lot, I've just stopped going out really, don't see my friends that much, i just pretend I'm busy, i guess its sort of a coping mechanism, not sure its working though as I feel 'blehhhh' can't even explain it really. Anyway thanks for saying hi :) xx

Please go back to your GP how dare he say it's just a 'phase' you clearly are suffering (the longer you leave it the harder it will be-trust me i know) I have a brilliant GP who has helped me so much, there's so much help out there but you have to make the 1st move. I dont mean to pressure you but honestly with the rite help you will see the lite at the end of the tunnel.

Good Luck:hugs:

Try on to worry to much i know it's easier said than done, dont try and plan anything just tell it like it is, if he's a good doctor he will understand and if he isnt then you need to find a doctor who will.
Will be thinking about you -
Take care :) spk soon xx
