Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, I really appreciate your help.
This is my 2nd day having anxiety attack in a long time so that's probably why I'm having all these irrational thoughts and fears. Words of encouragement don't help me as much as it used to at the moment, but I know I will eventually get over it. I hope I will. I just hate these thoughts. If only I can get rid of the negative, hopeless, and pessimistic thoughts, then I guess I would live just fine. I just can't handle them. I could handle the physical symptoms more than I could handle the mental symptoms. It drives me crazy. It also makes me more anxious thinking that I'm losing control of myself, that I'm losing my sanity. It freaks me out more and it makes more very anxious. It's shinny outside and the weather is amazing, but I'm stuck here in my house fearing of the incoming attacks. I don't want to live like this and I do want to seek help.
How do you think I should try to seek help?View Thread

I'm only 18 years old and I can't imagine how my life will be .. I'm so desperate and depressed. Please, I know this is the internet, but please show some compassion to me. Tell me the truth, is there help at all or can it be treated at all? If not, I guess I'm just going to do the unthinkable.. I cannot stand this any longer. (I've only had this for one night and this is how I'm feeling right now..but that's because I am feeling SO hopeless and my low self esteem is no help either).View Thread
