Depressed

[Klinical]

Hi, I'm Martin. I started getting panic attacks in 2003, and became agrophobic. I tried most things to help it, including going to an anxiety clinic, in Godden Green, Sevenoaks. While I was there, I got help with my anxiety, & eventually in 2005, I started going out again.

In late 2005, my dad passed away, which brought on my panic symptoms again, & I am now back where I started, agrophobic & depressed. I feel so down, & I miss my friends. I'm currently trying CBT, the guy is cool to chat to, but I'm having trouble in stopping my panic symptoms.

I have low self esteem, because I wonder if people think I'm strange, & I feel like I can't meet the right girl, as my panic attacks stop me from going to the cinema, restaraunts etc. I have lots of bad thoughts, but I find it hard to chat to any person about it, because I'm scared what they'll think of me.

Sorry for the ranting, I guess I needed to write that down. Hopefully you're all having a good weekend

Is there light at the end of the tunnel or is that an oncoming train?

Hi Martin. Welcome. I am new here too. This should be a good place to chat as so many people here suffer from panic attacks, agoraphobia and depression that you won't have to be scared what people think of you here.
I am curious, does your doctor have you on any medication or are you just doing CBT? I have tried both. Good luck to you in your struggle with this and I hope you're feeling better soon. Tammy

Hi Tammy, the medication I'm currently taking, is Prozac, however it doesn't seem to help much. I also used to take Olanzapine as well.
