Hello I"ve been angry since I found out that I was diagnois with axiety,panic,depression,postpartum disorder. I am so upset because I felt that it is not fear this happened to me. I used to party and have fun, now I am scared to do anything by myself. I am loosing my whole family, including my fiance. He gets so upset because he can not go out to work when he has to. When the panic attack hits he says with me. But he looks so upset. What do I do? How should I feel?

HELLO I WAS IN YOUR SHOES AND NOW I LEARNED THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL YOURSELF THAT WHY YOUR HUSBAND IS AT WORK YOU WILL BE FINE .. KEEP YOURSELF BUSY AND ONCE YOU GET THROUGH THAT DAY YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH EASIER IT WILL BE TO GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH OUT HIM I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO THE STORE OR EVEN WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT HIM NOW I AM DOING ALOT BETTER.. I REALIZED THAT SITTING IN THE HOUSE AROUND SOMEONE ALL THE TIME PUTS YOU IN TO A DEEPER DEPRESSION BUT I AM SURE YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT GOOD LUCK AND KEEP DOING THE PROGRAM..

Sizzle,
I'm so sorry to hear about your problems. I can relate. I just replied to your "panic" message too. I feel bad for you, and I have been there myself. I'm afraid that keeping your husband from work is only going to make matters worse. You have to find another way... Are you afraid to be alone with the baby? Is there anyone else you can count on, or call if you have a panic attack? Have you tried the positive thinking?

I can totally relate to your anger. I feel like the world is moving on and I'm not because I have so much anxiety and depression that I can't enjoy anything anymore. It's natural to feel anger and to grieve for your past which was presumably happier than now. I try to stay positive and sing and listen to good songs on the radio. It really does help. Are you on any medication ? I know we aren't supposed to rely on tranquilizers but I use a very small amount of Ativan and it really helps me feel more normal. I'm trying to get away from it, but until I'm stronger and feeling better, it helps me function and take care of my family. Maybe something like that could help you in the short run if you're really that incapacitated. But do stay positive also and get physical--exercise, dance, whatever. Sorry this is so long. I wish you the best.

Thank you for your advice and sorry I took so long to answer. I wasnt feeling to well and I am hoping this new medication Celexa would help. I am taking Klonopin also. I hope I dont get addicted to it because it really relaxes me. You letter was not to long I appreciate the time you took to answer me. I am tryin to hang in there Thanks!
