I’ve personally dealt with panic anxiety problems my whole life. It started when I was just a child and I’ve had to deal with them since then. I’ve finally figured out that has helped me get them done once and for all. I will tell you that it wasn’t quick or easy, but after a while I was able to finally get rid of them. I’m no longer dealing with them and its like I’ve started a new life not dealing with panic attacks. I also saw a Dr. Oz special a few days ago, sometimes it isn’t a panic attack that is the root of the problem, I’d also recommend talking to your doctor. Best of luck!

I have suffered from depression since seven years ago and I have taken medication and psychological therapy. When I feel better and think that this horrible disease has left me, it comes back and makes me feel very bad. I do not want to be like this for years, I want this to stop now, I was so different, so enthusiastic and self-motivated seven years ago. When I read your journey through depression I felt there is some hope for me.

Years go by and we wonder why we were so vulnerable. It seems to me like we allow others to be vulnerable by not giving warnings and i felt your diary was a warning i would never have noticed during my years of depression and medication. I am still alive today to speak of my time on mental health drugs for 10 years, involuntarily. So naive , so vulnerable and my sadness was never cured by them. I dont believe anyones is. Shortness of breath is like a slow death, when our bodies loose oxygen and the drugs we think are right for our mental health recovery become deadly weapons of psychiatric abuse that we never thought would still be around today. I mean my god, this is 2008 and they still use psychiatric diagnosis on every tom, dick and harry. A love child with a vision of jesus can get the same diagnosis and treatment as a serial killer. This is madness and the only people with the peculiar belief systems and the delusions would be the psychiatrists in their sports. There is help out there and i have found that we all are searching, whether it be for spiritual freedom, physical health, sexual, mental, emotional; the search is always inward and its not only until we open to the moment we see the real truth of our pain is not always our fault. It stems from people around us and our strength to have the insight into others pain and open to the truth that we all feel pain and depression is opening into others realities and this gives us a sense of wellbeing in the very clue that we are what we live as, and its our choice to change because no one can do it for us not even a psychiatrist giving us drugs. Your pain is your own and you own it until you can get rid of it and see that freedom is the light at the end of the tunnel and where change can begin….id like to chat more as ive got so much stored memories of depression, drugs, etc and its good to share stories and to get the burdens off the chest.
