Hello brianwalker: I don't know as there is much of anything in particular I can offer with regard to your concerns. My thinking, I guess, would be that panic attacks don't just appear suddenly out of nowhere for no reason. (Perhaps I'm wrong?)

You wrote that you had been happy your whole life until you had a panic attack 3 years ago. Then you became anxious & depressed. My personal non-professional perspective would be that, although you believe you were happy prior to having that panic attack 3 years ago, something was going on. Perhaps it was beneath the surface & you didn't recognize it. But I just find it difficult to imagine that a person who has been thoroughly happy his or her whole life suddenly out of nowhere has a panic attack & descends into anxiety & depression.

Anyway... assuming for a moment that this may be the case, I think what is perhaps going to be necessary is for you to make arrangements to spend some time with a counselor or mental health therapist talking all of this through. Doing so may help you to figure out what this is all about & what you can do about it. My personal opinion (again) would be that the move to the new house is incidental to this whole experience. Perhaps other members, here on PC, will have other perspectives to share.

Under any circumstances... I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
