Hello everyone!

I am new here, so I hope I am doing this right.

I have struggled with depression most of my life, but it is usually very manageable. The past couple of months have been particularly hard though. Less than a year ago I lost my mom very unexpectedly. She was very young and had no real health issues, so it was a surprise when I got that call. She was an only parent to my sister and I, so she was also our best friend. Well, the year anniversary of her death is coming up next month and I have turned into an anxiety ridden depression monster. Not to mention that I have had a very comical string of misfortune over the past few months.

Even though I can logically and rationally tell myself that everything will be fine, that this is just something that will pass (hopefully), I cant seem to help it. I over analyze everything, think I am going to get fired, lose my house, husband... the whole 9. My panic attacks are terrible and affect my body big time.

Has anyone else gone through something similar and made it out? I would love some advice on this.

Thank you!
