not much hope left
| Sun, 04-08-2007 - 12:04pm |
i have had anxiety for about 14 years now. in the last 1 1/2 years, it has gotten to the point where i don't function anymore. i am scared to death to switch meds--i am scared to be alone, i am constantly dizzy & i get at least 1 panic attack every day. i started going back to counseling at the end of Jan. & she says i'm in "crisis mode" b/c of the amount of anxiety/fears & i hardly ever leave the house. i forced myself on friday to take my son back to kickboxing class & it was so depressing to see all these people taking for granted the fact that they could function. i would cut off an arm to be able to do that! anyway, i am quickly losing hope that i will ever function normally again or be a productive part of society, etc. has anyone ever gotten out of what i'm in & if so, how? i don't even know where to turn anymore. i feel so helpless & hopeless. please give any helpful advice. thanks.

I am very sorry to hear how you're feeling, Sylvia. That is a shame): You sound as if you're stressed to the max.
When we have thoughts of being out of the picture or taken by God, we need *real life* help. Call your therapist right away. Call a crisis line. (1-800-273-Talk) is a good one where people are trained to deal with suicidal thoughts. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, do NOT act on them. Get to a treatment facility immediately. It concerns me that you have posted this. You seem to doubt your value & worth. You DO matter very much. All lives are valuable. This is a temporary problem, yet you are suggesting a permanent solution. Please get the help you need. We care. You have friends & family who would be devastated by your loss. Let us know how things work out. GL & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
