Anxiety and Panic :(

Hello everyone, I have recently been really struggling with anxiety, panic, and depression. Just before Thanksgiving I had my first severe panic attack and nothing has been the same sense. I have left my job, moved back to my parents house, been in and out of the ER, found out about a small issue with my heart. Now I’m in an outpatient therapy program and I still feel so scared and alone and like I don’t know who I am. I feel lost and like I’m not good enough and everything from getting into a car to walking out the front door terrifies me and I’m always scared of everything. The fake wall I had built of confidence around me is gone and I’m crumbling so that’s a bit of my story and who I am.

Hi, sorry to hear of the hardships. It'll get better. I remember when I first started getting panic attacks I didn't know what was going on so I went to doctors and urgent cares. Got a bunch of tests done. After a long while I eventual saw a therapist and I got a better perspective on the anxiety and panic I was having and after that it got a lot better. I'm sorry things are tough now. I remember being very scared of completely normal things. It got better. The fears are not a permanent thing. It might take some work but you can do it. You're not alone. Keep at it. Wishing you courage and comfort.
