Looking for some advise here. I seem to be so depressed lately, I have major panic attachs, thats what I think it is anyway, I am grouchy all the time to my husband and my kids, I yell at them over nothing at all, and all the time im doing this, im thinking leave them alone. Every little thing gets on my nerves so bad, I dont want to talk to anyone, I dont want to go anywhere, I just wanna stay cooped up the house. I dont even talk to my husband about anything anymore and when he tries to talk to me I bite his head off. I fear this whatever is wrong with me is going to destroy my marriage. I dont want to talk to my family, or do the things that we use to do, I dont want to shop or anything. I dont know what to do about this. I am embarassed to say that I have a problem to my family, I know I probably need to see a doctor, for I have been this way for almost a year now and its only getting worse. Someone please help me with this. Not only am I suffering but the ppl I love are suffering too. Sad

I was depressed just like that in college for a couple of months. I never saw a doctor, and lucky for me, I was able to deal with it mentally by convincing myself that I was ok. It doesn't work for everyone, but it worked for me! Just start believing that you're ok and it might help. If it doesn't, i'd definitely recommend you see a doctor.

always a good idea to get checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying physical problems. Doctors tend to want to prescribe medicines for everythiung and I think you would be better served getting involved in a cbt program. It is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety, panic and depression and can be done with or without meds. It will teach you how to correct the thinking errors you are making (that you probably don't even realize you are making) that is causing your problems with anxiety and depression. My favorite starter book on cbt is "been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz if you're interested and many universities offer cbt programs for little or no charge. It's the best stress reducer around and once you learn the tools they are with you wherever you go :d
