Hey
I have been fighting with panic attacks for almost a year and a half now and although i find myself panicking less and less as time goes by, there are these feelings of emptiness along with some lonliness and boredom that came with this journey.
To summarize my main concern is that ive been getting these thoughts in my mind to 'give up' instead of 'let's do it'
After fighting panic attacks for this long i guess i became mentally exaushted. Having to constantly motivate yourself to be fine is surely a hard task and for that reason i think im getting these feelings of emptiness and feel like my reason to overcome anxiety; to survive is overlooked and being re assessed by these negative thoughts.
I am not too sure what im experiencing is depression, because i am scared that i might become depressed and eventually turn to last resort - suicide. I get scared just reading newspaper that mentions about people committing suicide. I feel like i might become so overwhelmed by these feelings that i could not pull myself through...
I never taken any medication besides from herbal and accupuncture treatments. I am leaving it to last resort as i am scared of the side effects that these drugs may bring aka you might become more depressed than you already are.
So ive been looking into seeing a therapist. I want to know how your experience with a psychologist or therapist was...
Thanks . I would really appreciate it that you reply after reading everything i wrote.
