Re-terrified And Unable to Function Alone Posted: 09-13-05 12:17pm
I wrote a column under "mental health"
forum and have no replies. Now I really
do feel so alone. Can anybody relate to
what I wrote. I am very scared and no
where left to turn.

Hi i`m not sure if I will be any help but
I really feel for you through all your
pain but the thing that strikes me is that
you are having anxiety attacks, all the
symptoms you describe I have ahad a touch
of myself. You certainly are normal and
you will be ok!
My first panic attack struck and I
thought I was dying I relied soley on my
mother, which I did for some time but I
have realised that I cannot depend on her
it makes things even worse. You need your
independence. I think that when your on
your own you maybe fear what might happen
to you because that person isn`t near by,
you feel alone, your more concious of all
those little twinges in your body, the
negative thoughts, your mind is
conditioned into thinking if x person
isn`t here I am going to feel this way.
It doesn`t have to be this way, I am still
an anxious person and it isn`t easy but
every day is new and fresh.
I suffer from depersonalisation due to
high anxiety, i`m not sure if you have
these feelings but its a sensation of
being totaly detached from yourself, its
so frightening your sure your going mad
but of course your not. Have you tried
any therapies? I haven`t and i`m not sure
if they would help me but I do realise I
am causing and perpetuating these thoughts
and feelings. I bought the linden method
which is helping and can help depression
to, he makes you realise everything you
feel can be explained and you are the only
person who can change it. Depression is
horrible and it must be horrendous having
it all the time. After all our mind is
the most powerful organ and anxiety is
really a habit which can be broken.
Like I say i`m not sure if this helps but
feel free to contact me if you need
someone to talk to
