Q: Reassurance Required
asked by: lmh04 on October 16th, 2005

Hi everyone out there. Can somebody please reassure me that I am not cracking up. I have suffered with depression/anxiety and panic attacks on and off for the past 15 years (since my mum and dad died). I had a lot of issues which are now mostly resolved. Howver every so often I have a panic attack for what seems no apparant reason, which sends me on a spiral downwards. When im like this I feel I have to push every one away cos my feelings are dead and I think im just a burden to them. Can anyone tell me if these feelings are normal. I am just going through the situation at the moment and cannot get my head to calm down and stop having irrational thoughts. Please reply someone.

Seeing as your a sufferer of depression hunny it may just be an odd attack which you have. It's sounds quite common; it's not unknown for someone to jut suddenly break out in panics or frenzies.

And you should never think of yourself as a burden unless they have told you so.

Go and see a doctor or someone to talk to and get a load off your chest. Either way it helps. Or if you like feel free to chat to me...I'm all ears anytime.

Attacks aren't something to really worry too much about. It's when you have 4-5 a day that you suould get worreid. But as kittykatus says maybe you should go talk to some one, or one of us....But don't worry you aren't going crazy,.......Plus your always wanted
