reader, anonymous, writes (7 November 2006): You could be suffering from a mixture of depression, Post Dramatic Stress Disorder and of course panic attacks.
You clearly have anxiety, stress, feelings of aloneness and abandonment (possibly from losing two family members- and now u fear losing ur bfriend or friend) and the uncontrollable crying is also a sign of depression. The first thing u have to do is realise that its ok to accept the way you feel and what ur going through- understand that u can be halped and things can get better- but i don't think u can do it on ur own. Ask ur doctor for a referral to a psychologist- u have several symptoms that need to be treated and a psychologist can discuss it with u and figure out what treatment u might benefit from most. Don't think that therapy is stupid, or embarassing or that it wont work for u. Its true hat it may take some time. You may find that u just need a few sessions with a therapist to talk ur problems and feelings through, or he may recommend initial ongoing treatment.
But please don't think that ur going crazy and nothing can be done about it- Take the first step and speak to a professional. If ur doctor says there isnt anything he can do then u need to change doctors immidiately or approach a mental health worker yourself. Make an appointment.
