Hi
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for about 7-8 years now and have been on vairous different types of medication. I am doing cognitive therapy at the moment, its good to talk to others about this.
I feel very alone all the time, I feel guilty for feeling like this.
I can't remember the last time I had a good night sleep, everything is in some kind of cross world between sleep and being awake its very surreal and frightening. Sleep pills just make me feel dopey as did other medication so I am medication free at the moment.
I do work but I hate it with a passion, everyone is really nice, but its like torture. I have really bad panic attacks at work but try to cover them up and not let people see, I run to the toilet or get some fresh air (which does help). I feel so guilty for having these. I hate being in a crowd. I work in a busy office...I want to get out but I have bills to pay its not that easy. What do I do about my job? Will I just be the same in another job I do?
I need some sort of coping strategy, I need to know I am not alone.
I don't want to feel like this anymore, I don't want to feel insignificant and inferior to everyone else. When ever I try to be confident it back fires and I have a panic attack. I get very cross at my self.
Help me.
