Please Somebody, I Need Help! Posted: 03-28-06 09:27am
Whats wrong with me!?
I had a very traumatic experience
recently. My father had to be rushed to
the hospital because he had a severe heart
attack and had to be revived 10 times
total. Everything turned out to be fine
after a few days in the hospital. I went
to visit him at home and on the way back I
got this sudden rush of anxiety. I made
it home and went to the hospital with my
wife (didn't see a doctor, just sat there
cuz I wanted to feel like I was in a safe
place).
Ever since then I haven't been the same.
It's like my mind just took too much. I
feel as though nothing really matters
right now. Things don't sound the same,
things don't look the same. I don't
really want to go to the doctor because
almost everyone with depression doesn't
seem to get help from the doctor. I feel
tingly, almost numb. Last night I thought
that maybe I was just tired because I
haven't slept very well. I went to bed
much earlier then usual, slept all night
and I still feel the same. Things that
used to interest me just aren't
interesting anymore. I really want to get
over this. I hope that I can.

Hey! You should go to a doctor, I promise
if it dosn't help you it will at least put
you on the right track! Go see
acounselor. I know it sounds cheesy , but
in the end it really will help you out! I
have gone though the same thing ,and I
have felt the same feeking of emtiness!
It's not the end of the world though there
is a light at the end of each tunnel, no
matter how long that tunnel may be!

I can completely relate to your feeling of
numbness. But nevertheless I think your
going to be alright. I think you may
still just be in shock from the recent
events that occured with your father.
Hey, thinking someone that close to you
may die, is a scary thing and would
produce aniexty in almost anyone. As for
the not sleeping to well, im sure its just
nerves. If you feel the problem is
serious, seeing a professional wouldnt be
such a bad idea, it could be benefical to
just talk to someone or maybe even get
some temporary medication. Either way I
would just give yourself some more time,
make sure to get out everyday and try to
find something good out of the day to make
you smile. Also I do recommend excercise,
it really is a natural way to feel better,
get those endorphins running and heighten
your mood. I hope you soon find yourself
feeling better.

Wherever did you get this idea that people
don't get help from doctors??
If you feel like you won't be able to
manage this on your own (e.G. By trying
to relax, workout, eating right, occupying
your mind with other things, etc.) then
you definitely should go talk to a doctor
and get some calming meds prescribed.
The meds work, and they help a lot. It's
just that it's not always possible for a
doctor to prescribe you the meds which are
right for you, so it could be a trial and
error process, but eventually you'll be
fine.

There is nothing wrong with seeing a
doctor for help. It is one of the best
places to start. Find out if you are
physically okay. Let him evaluate what
type of help you might need. Medication
is an option that is a very viable one.
Your doctor can recommend a good therapist
or phsyciatrist who can help you. You can
be back on track in some cases faster than
if you were going to go it alone.
Talking is always good. Talk to your
wife, family, friends, neighbors, us. Let
it out.
Keep us informed on how you are doing.
That is why there is a forum. For us who
have to talk, and us who want to listen.
