I've had panic attacks and I got through them. You will be alright. Please don't think of hurting yourself call a hotline if you need to

Hi there!

Things will be alright. Have you had a chance to talk to someone, such a counselor or a friend, about depression and having the feeling of loneliness? Maybe what would help you a bit, and for you to start seeing a path that will help you to start working on the things that are going on in your life at the moment, is to start talking about things. If something is bothering you, let it out. Find healthy outlets that will allow you to deal with thoughts and feelings.

If you feel a panic attack coming, take deep breaths, and tell yourself out loud, 'things will be okay. Breath.'

you are so beautiful to post this. thank you brave heart.

standing, sitting or rocking with you. without knowing your situation, i can't say much, but for me, when i was anxious and/or depressed like this, things really did work out ok, and it's probably the same for you. hang in there brave heart, you're gonna make it

It will certainly get better! I was quite down in the dumps in my first year at college, having some internal problems and finding myself going out for "walks" at 3 in the morning.

You'll look back and definitely tell yourself that you're glad you're still here. Don't let depression at an instant determine the rest of your life. Right now is just a snapshot of your life, but consider the full-length motion film. Overcome it, surround yourself with good people, and try to get some professional advice.

Take care,
Kenny

Thanks I appreciate it. I still feel terrible right now, but it's nice to know that someone cares.

Thanks, I try to think the it gets better, but it just doesn't seem to be. I actually woke up this morning crying. I try to see the positives in life but most days I just want to crawl into a hole and die. I've been unhappy for a long time but now it seems alot worse. I keep hoping that this feeling will go away but it never does. Sorry if I'm bringing you down, I just have no where else to turn.

If you want, you can open a page to email me and just write everything down and I will offer as much support as i can. Just vent and know there is no judgement. I have been there many times and maybe just venting will help. I promise to keep your identity secret. hugs

OP, I've dealt with a lot of the same stuff, and sometimes despite getting help and support, it continues to get worse for a while. About 3 years ago I had my first "crash", I'd been unhappy and confused about myself for a long time, but it was like the bottom dropped out, and I only slowly started to get better. It sounds like you're experiencing something similar. Keep fighting, every day you make it through is a victory, and one step closer to recovery, no matter how many bumps there are along the way.
