Hi sarahvti
Welcome to ehealth!
Yes, just about everyone in this forum suffer from the same or simalar issues. I myself suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and also depression.
Are you seeing a doctor if I may ask? If so, have you mentioned these issues to him/her? If not, you need to. These problems will compeltly take you over if you let them. There is help out there, you just have to get there. I would start by telling you mom you want to get some help. And let things roll from there. Obviously she can see what you are going through. She is where you need to start.
I wish you the best and hope you get things under control.

Again, welcome to the community. Smile

My thoughts are with you. I do not have much advice, just understand what you are going through. I have severe depression/generalized anxiety (24/7), and insomnia. I have never had these problems before, always pretty healthy until now. I do not know what has triggered these symptoms, but I continue to fight! I am currently on Buspar 30 mg a day for the anxiety, but I can't tolerate antidepressants. I have tried numerous, and none help or make my condition worse. A lot of people, have great success with the antidepressants (SSRI's) which contain depression and anxiety medications. I am currenlty undergoing acupuncture treatments - I am desperate. I do understand the feeling of losing your mind and control. These symptoms control your every minute - hang in there and get your doctor to prescribe a fast acting medication. Some take approximatley 3 to 4 weeks before you see a difference, I am told, but others work sooner.
