Where do I belong? Help please

Hi,

I have been diagnosed years ago with depression and I used to get panic attacks too took anitdepressants for a while, and once I started working etc I was fine for years.

I left my stressful job I hated 7 months ago and in the last  2 months my life a I knew it has stopped

It started with weak jelly legs, dizziness, tinniutus and a panic attack, shaking legs panic etc.

went to the doctors for a check over and he said I had labrinythitus which is inner ear virus, my ears feel less full and I don't feel so of balance now but..

Now I am scared to leave my chair sometimes in case I feel dizzy off balance, going to a shop is murder especially if I have to queue I feel myself getting dizzier and more off balance,

also I find it is worse at night I sit there feeling dizzy  and awful dread then I panic which makes me worse, feel like I'm being suffocated I start to panic and cry and think something bad is going to happen to my health, my hands shake and I feel trembely inside.

I hate people coming round cos I feel bad and don't want to talk, I have no excitement and dread getting up and facing the day feeling bad. I used t enjoy visitin my sister and now I dread it

Is it anxiety? depression? what????

Sure don't mean to diagnose anything, but wonder what your doctor is doing about the inner ear virus. Such a condition can be quite disabling, at least temporarily. I've seen it first hand. It can take some time to clear up.

You may want to discuss your feelings with your doctor to see whether he/she recommends a psychologist to advise you further. Just my thoughts.

discuss this with your doctor, you will feel better
