Hi everyone,
I have had depression my whole life but have never really done a whole lot about it, just bottle it up and let it get worse and this is the year I finally cracked. There are many things that could have triggered it but regardless the past 3-4 months it has been getting much worse, I am in a constant state of panic and suffer terrible anxiety and as of late I am finding it difficult to even leave the house or travel anywhere, even the store, for fear of certain things. I have been on Citalopram 10mg for a week now and will go up to 20mg in a few days. Have been seeing a bereavement counselor but obviously that only touches on one aspect of the problem so am hoping to speak with someone else as well. I have also begun the CBT4Panic I came across here and am hoping that will set me on the right path.
Thanks for reading and hi to everyone.
