I'm fed up why does my depro mood reoccur every time! I had a full blown panic attack today. I was ready to give up at work I was so stressed and urgh sometimes I just wanna kick myself for acting this way! I wish i could be like a normal person! But its hard not to cry for me! Cant they just get a cure just one pill that can take away this pain!

I am sad you are feeling this way Belmore. You and I both wish there was a pill that would make sadness, pain, depression, anxiety just go away! It is ok to have emotions. If you need to talk pm me any time. Sending hugs your way!(((((((((((((((((((Belmore)))))))))))))))))))))

Hang in there- it is frustrating while waiting to get better. You won't always feel like this- and yes, there is treatment. Doing the medication merry-go-roung can take awhile- it is very common to not have your first a/d do the trick so please persevere. It is so worth it.

if there was cure all for mental illness I am sure everyone would be lining up especially the homeless to get their piece of the pie.

We gotta go through things in our life that are certainly not pleasant some times but it makes us stronger that we can say we lived through it and we are better for it. The things I trip up on is how to move forward from here. I guess its just as best as I can.

Hello, Belmore.

My therapist gave me a card with these coping tips. They take some practice but have been helpful.

Coping With Anxiety and Panic

1. Remember, feelings of panic are just exaggerations of normal bodily stress reactions.
2. Sensations are neither harmful nor dangerous - just unpleasant. Nothing worse will happen.
3. Anxiety is temporary. Instead of fighting it, relax into it. Just let it be.*
4. Focus on facing the fear rather than trying to avoid it or escape from it.
5. Stop adding to the panic with frightening thoughts of where panic will lead.
6. Stay in the present. Be aware of what is happening to you rather than concern yourself with how much worse it might get.
7. Notice that when you stop adding to panic with frightening thoughts, the fear begins to fade.
8. Wait and give the fear time to pass.
9. Look around you. Plan what you will do next as the panic subsides.
10. When you are ready to go on, do so in an easy, relaxed manner. There is no hurry.
11. Think about the progress made so far despite all the difficulties.
*Breathe

I wish you well.
