Hi, my name is whitney. For the last two months ive been suffering through anxiety and depression according to the doctors said. They diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and depression.Right now, ive been unemployed for eight months now and I haven't found any work. Ive been been going through some crazy symptoms like dizziness and lightheaded, tension headaches, stomach troubles, no appetite, not thinking straight, and more. Since I've been going through those symptoms, I havent left the house in almost a month. I feel like a prisoner in my own body. I was never like this before, then all of a sudden BAM !!! Anxiety attack after anxiety attack. Im constantly on the internet looking up why I have these attacks.

Sometimes I feel like i'm never going to get better. I don't have nobody to talk too over the phone. I don't have any real friends to talk too about this. The only person I talk to is my mother, and her patience is wearing thin. So now its on me to get through this. Ever since this been going on with me I find things to calm me down like reading the Bible, journaling, reading on my kindle (fifty shades of grey is great by the way lol), taking warm bubble baths and drawing. Even through im doing those things im still alone in my shell. But overall, I have good and bad days. I feel like my faith has gotten strong since then and I praise God my king everyday b/c he is giving me another chance each day to make it better.

Guys, I know how hard it is to go through something that is so unpredictable like anxiety every single day. Im still struggling, but each day it gets better. This week im going to make small baby steps to get my life back. I understand it's going to be hard, but I know that God is with me. He is not going to let his princess down. Just pray and make small baby steps. Remember, this is just temporary.

I would love to Start new relationship with y'all in the future. I cant go through this alone, and I love to talk :). Help me to help you so we can help each together.

Um...they wanted me to be on celexa. Since I don't have medical insurance I cant afford it. But I don't trust taking anti depressant, I dont like the side effects. Im suppose to be seeing a counselor later on in August....so, for the mean time im just here driving myself crazy until my appointment comes. Its really hard right now. I am mentally and physically tired of all this.

Welcome whit, there is help out there. Most ssri's are very cheap in generic and if you start at a low dose and taper slowly up, you will likely miss most side effects. Alankay

Thank you Alan. I have been doing some research on the internet and I found out that drinking chamomile tea does help you relax. I noticed a difference when I drink it. But I do need some to help calm down when I do have a attack. What do you suggest to do without taking meds.

Whit, I also have no medical insurance. I take generic Zoloft, and it's only like $7 at my pharmacy. Ask you pharmacist if there is some type of plan that you can get on. For example, Walgreens has a Walgreens prescription plan that I'm on. Good luck girl, keep that chin up!
