Not only am I going through the worst anxiety and panic attacks but now my mom ended up in the hospital. She went in Sunday and they sent her home yesterday and she went back in that night. She has emphysema and it is bad. They put her in ICU(intensive care unit)

I go to my pdoc today and hopefully he can help me. I am so depressed and I can feel it getting worse. I still can't eat. This has been going on for over 2 weeks now. I haven't even lost any weight. That would have been a plus through all this. Everything is negative. I feel like this will never end. It is always something. I just want to take pills to help me sleep and not get out of bed. I am tired of not being able to cope with things that come my way. I get so easily stressed. I have to take klonopin as soon as I get up in the morning because I am in a panic as soon as I open my eyes.

I hope everyone else is hanging in there and doing well.

Tina honey, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope that your mom recovers and that you start to feel better. Hang in there, and keep us posted!

Hi Tina,

I'm sorry you're having so much panic and anxiety. I'm sure your Mom going it to ICU hasn't helped that. I hope she is okay by now or is at least safe. Emphysema can be horrible for the family who has to deal with it too.

What did you hear from your pdoc? I hope he could be of some help. I know part of your problem is situational right now but, maybe he can help with the rest.

You need to eat honey! Not eating, I know from experience, can make it all worse. It stresses your body and can cause anxiety all by itself. I know when I'm feeling like you are right now I don't want to eat either and sometimes I just CAN'T...but you need too. Okay enough nagging!

Love,

Jamie
