I had a panic attack a few weeks ago. I have GAD. My friend moved away and I think that triggered it. Since that happened, I've been super keyed up. I haven't seen a therapist in a couple of years, and I take 150mg of setraline. I often have that throat lump feeling these days, last week I cried a couple of days.

I'm afraid the setraline isn't working weird and I'll have to go through looking for something new. I started using that Calm magnesium stuff and it is ok, but I still don't feel great. I've tried meditating, I'm doing yoga when I can. I've been making art, playing music sometimes. I'm drinking less coffee now- from 3 cups a day to one. I'm trying to do what I can to feel better.

I don't really have close family, though I do have a partner. This time of year tends to be sad for me since I've lost the family I was once close to.

Dear RamblinClementine,

I am so sorry you are in this situation. It sounds utterly distressing and stressful. When a friend of mine moved away a couple of years ago, I just fell apart: constant anxiety, relentless depression and awful panic attacks. I can't remember feeling worse in my whole life. Although I am not in your shoes, I think I can feel some of what you describe. Wish I knew what to say to ease the pain your are going through. My heart goes out to you!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

Maybe you need to readjust your medication. Two years without supervision when you are taking Sertraline is too much.

How are things going now? I also have GAD. And panic attacks suck. I'm so sorry your friend moved away. I'm wondering how the music, art, meditation, yoga and other tools are helping?
