Just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself.
I'm Having anxiety/panic attacks brought on by depression/medication. I've been generally sad for year but had a few bouts of severe depression. Going through a really bad one just now and I've recently been put on mirtazapine by my gp. before that I was on sertraline but it made no difference to me at all. Been on mirt for 5 weeks now but feel it is making me worse. I've stopped socialising and going to the shops during the day, I can cope at night when its just me, the shelf stackers and the other few insomniacs in the building.
Mirt was great to start with as I finally got some sleep but now am on 30 mg the sleep part is wearing off and am back down to getting anything from 0-5 hours!!
I've had 3 suicide attempts in the last 6 months and I've started selfharming which seems to help more than the mirt but I know it cant continue for much longer like that.
I've seen a psych who said I'm just depressed but with my mood swings, and self destructive actions, my unwillingness to socialise or form any sort of long term relationship I'm sure there is much more to me than "Just depression" Well that's the basics so if anyone wants to answer that's cool if not cya round
