Hello, my name is Melissa. I am 29 years old and have been suffering with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety for many years now. These issues are so bad that it is nearly impossible to get me out of the house. I am at risk of losing my job because I call in because I simply can't handle the stress of the place. I have been on a few different medications to help with these issues, and nothing has truly helped. I am currently taking propraneral and lorazapam to cope. I am supposed to be taking Wellbutrin SR, but I found that it makes things worse for me.
I feel like I am at the lowest point in my life and honestly everything feels hopeless right now. Everybody tells me that it's going to get better, but it never gets better. I live every day in panic, having multiple panic/anxiety attacks because I have to do "normal" things, like drive, go to work, being out in public and pretty much every other mundane task that is required of me.
I am tired of feeling this way, and I am tired of keeping everything inside. I have talked with my family, close friends and my boyfriend about how I am feeling and what I go through on a daily basis, and nobody understands. Things have gotten so bad lately that people are pulling away from me, and I honestly feel like I have nobody to talk to. That's why I'm here. I'm looking for somebody who has been through this, to tell me that it WILL get better, and mean it. I need hope. Lately I have been entertaining thoughts of suicide, and it scares me. I am at my breaking point and I'm not sure what to do. Does anybody have any suggestions?
