[kiara]

hi guys
i havent been on here in ages well here goes i used to suffer very bad with panic attacks and anxiety but eventually i got them under control with meds and alot of help from my counsellor anyway things seemed to be goin pretty well for awhile and i was hardly suffering any panic attacks. but around 6 weeks ago i started to feel very down all the time tired no energy  extremly frustrated and it got so bad that i wanted to cut myself i dont like blood so i just started to get somethiing sharp and keep scraping at my skin till it was red sore and scatched but never actually cut deep i dont know why i feel this way but i get so frustrated i just want to hurt myself i was never like this before. then 2 nights ago my grandparents house was broken into and my grandmother was held at knife point by 2 men they took money but thank god my gran was left unharmed however now the panic attacks are starting again . i swear i just feel so frustrated and unhappy at the moment i just want to be on my own  i woke up this morning feeling like i just wanted to cry and all day have been feeling in general very pissed off and moody i was going to call my counsellor and make an appointment do you think that i should i am still on my meds lexapro 10 mgs a day is it possible to get depressed when taking anti depressents i have been on lexapro over a year now and have never felt so depressed as i have the last 6 weeks or so
would love some advice

I would call the counselor.  Maybe you just need to have your dose upped?

I would surround yourself with people who care about you right now. When I feel really depressed (which is a lot) I hide away from my friends and even my husband when they are all trying to help me. I forget what is really important in life and my relationships suffer because of it.
I am very sorry for the stressful situations you have been dealing with. That is not easy but talking it over and being with people who make you feel safe really helps. As for the cutting thing I would seek help from your councelor on this. You owe it to yourself not to hurt yourself. Try getting a punching bag and when you feel the urge go a few rounds with that instead. I also find screaming at the top of my lungs when no-one is around (sounds crazy!) gets out a lot of my frustrations. Also writing down your pain and fears gets it out in the open instead of you feeling it inside and feeling the need to hurt yourself.
Good luck and take good care of yourself.

i think you need to see a therapist/counselor. and your psychiatrist-your meds may need adjusting. trish
