Honestly, you need help dealing with the fact that your parents are no longer here. Please get help and talk to someone about this. You are having panic attacks....I'm pretty sure anyway. I have sever panic attacks, and you can't concentrate, or breathe, it even mimics a heart attack. You are just very unhappy because of your parents. I know of a therapist that could help you, man or woman. I don't know where you live, but let me know and maybe I could help you find someone. I promise it will help! Believe that you will be okay!!!! You will.

Along with getting couseling...

Changing the foods that you eat will greatly improve the way you are feeling...

Sonia,

how are things going for you? I agree with shandeesh that you are possibly having panic attacks. I have gad (generalized anxiety disorder) and also have anxiety/panic attacks. They are varing in degree and severity...Some of the worst have actually made me think I was going to die at the time...Unable to breath, racing heart, dizziness, disconnected feeling - like I am watching this happen and have no control...Etc...

I have been able to control my anxiety (mostly...It is a daily battle) by having a good support system and trying to keep positive...I was on zoloft and had a therapist and a psychiatrist for the first year...Once I started getting some sense of control *(after the meds kicked in and I started stabling off)..Then I was able to stop seeing the therapist, cut back my appointments with the psy....I did not get off the meds due to problems with them, I do not think I could have gotten things back on track without them...But I have gotten off the meds for other personal reasons which I won't go into yet here...Anyway, I don't know what kind of support system you have due to your parents not being around, but having just one person who tries to understand what you are going through and tries to listen without passing judgement (don't get me wrong we all need get advise/criticism/comments from others at times, you just don't need to discuss these types of issues with people that are not compassionate about your problem...)

i was just out of college working on my license when this all started happening for me, it was so hard to realize that there would be days that my brain just would not cooperate...For example...Do you wake up some days and just "know" that the simplest of tasks would be confusing to you when you are a bright person normally? That is what I had and sometimes I would catch myself staring past a document and "zoning out" without knowing it...I do not mean day-dreaming...I mean...Foggy, am I really still in this room or did someone just flip a switch and my eyes can still see but my brain is not seeing. Anyway...Just know you are never alone in this world, whether you know it or not someone is thinking of you.

I hope things are going better for you, it looks like you posted this a few weeks ago...

Best wishes!

Hi sonja

have you had chance to take up the advice from the others who have replied to your post?

It really does seem like you are having panic attacks and palputations.

When you have an attack try to stay calm and breath deeply and slowly. This will help you.

Also make sure you have a good friend who can be there for you when you need them. - having someone to share your concerns with, or just to hold your hand can be extremely valuable.

I am sure you have the ability to overcome this

all the very best ........

Hi sonia!

I am not expert in this field.. But, I should advice you something...

Just believe in your self... Share your ideas and thoughts with someone whom you trust more.. Face the problem and defeat it any how.. Never give up.. Just try try and try but do not cry..

Believe in god!

Try one thing... Take three deep breath every time when you feel stress - depressed, and repeat this sentence each time when you take deep breat.. - "i am feeling relax". I am sure this will definately help you..

By the way! Love your self...
