Am I going mad

Postby jackster » Thu Aug 12, 2004 1:56 pm

Hi, First time on here. I suffer from anxiety and depression.I am usually a very excitable person, bubbly ect, but when I get an anxiety attack become very withdrawn, same if I have a bout of depression. However recently, after suffering a bad anxiety and depressive attack I have been feeling out of myself and almost dreamy like. I feel as though I cant go back to being the person I am usually, and feel I am going mad. Am I going mad????Please help anyone.

Your not going mad..don't worry.
I also suffer from anxiety attacks, since i was little I have had them. And I felt exactly the same after an attack, almost as if I needed recovery time to get over it.
I think its the enegy that gets used up when u have a attack and its almost as if you kind of drain yourself. it usually takes me a few days to a week to recover, and even then I don't fully. Hope this helps, and rememeber your not alone!!xx

Hey Jackster, welcome to the forum!

There are some articles on this site about panic attacks (http://www.uncommon-knowledge.co.uk/pan ... xiety.html) and depression (http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk/). Maybe those could be helpfull to you.
