I feel so freaked out about this, can anyone offer advice?

[Gingerbreadelf]

There's a few hobbies that I love doing.. I look forward to the time when I can do them in fact.. but this week, suddenly, I just don't feel like doing them at all.. The weird thing is, in my mind, I was all set to.. then suddenly, I found myself staring off into space, just not feeling like it.

I don't know what's going on.. I've felt very anxious and lost lately, especially with it being a new year, I feel I have no path whatsoever.. but this problem isn't something new. I've been having A LOT of panic attacks lately (this started last month).. but this just bothers me so much that I don't even feel like doing the things that can make me happy and make me feel better, when a week ago, I did! I don't even really feel like eating or having a nice cup of coffee in the morning..none of the things that usually bring pleasure..

What should I do?

Hello there :) I know how you feel
When you have panic attacks and anxitey it can take a while to get back to enjoying the things you used to again,I'm the same,tho like you say you don't know why,are you taking anything to help with your attacks?

Thanks for the answer, yes, some antidepressants, but they only help so much. *sigh*

You're right, it's gonna take me time to get back to the way I was...though I wasn't great before, I was better than this.. :(

A little suggestion; Maybe even if you don't feel like, try and do something you know you love anyway. Drink that nice cup of coffee, put on some music you like to listen to, play your favourite video games. Just treat yourself to something you know you like to do and see if it helps a little. I know how it feels to not enjoy doing anything sometimes, but I find that if you start to do something, it can help a bit. :)

How long have you been on them?Also there's so many others to try if this one does not suit you plus they can change the dose,don't give up give it time,I know right now your feeling not gr8 at all but this will not be like this forever,I know it may feel like it right now believe me I do

That makes sense, I've gotta get myself back in action, like it or not. :(

I've been on them for over a year now. I'm not sure they can really rid of the anxiety I feel, because I am a bit lost in life..and until I get that fixed, I really feel nothing can help, not even pills.. maybe I'm wrong? I don't know.

It will get better hun, positive thinking does the world of good. I loved work then last week I couldn't stand the thought of being there but I made myself and thought positive, still I'm leaving for work in a moment and all I can think is.. God I just don't want to.. Same for gym.. Everything I loved doing is just gone.. But so is my panic attacks. Apparently it's a sign of getting better!!!

[Gingerbreadelf]

Hopefully it is getting better for you. :)

I'm trying my best to get through this period where I feel this way yet again, I swear, it feels like a disease that just creeps back in and sucks the life out of me for a time, I get better, but it always comes back.. I know it's not a disease, but I do remember a time when this just didn't happen, and I wish I had that time back. :(
