Hello again Zedex, There are several different treatments available for depression. Certain methods work better for different people. I would suggest you visit your Doctor, they will be able to discuss everything in detail and find a treatment that works best for you. Keep posting your thoughts and concerns. Susanne

Sussane thanx for a reply, I guess form me its a ongoing serch of why and how.....I had consultations with specialist and was told that is a depression and was told to go on prosac. I didnt start that yet since the whole thing is strange....It didnt start with a depression and my simptoms are so mixed that its hard to understand what goes on....the reason I dont want to go on prosac is that my friend ended with suicide after first being put on prosac that didnt do much and then it was a path of trying something else until the end. My question would be can u beat the depression without med's? Z

Hello Zedex, Welcome to the Depression Center. There are many people here who understand what you are going through. Be sureto use the 'tools' on the left of your screen and the support group. Also, it is important that you let your Doctor know how you've been feeling. Keep us posted. Susanne

Hi everyone, maybe i get some feedback on my condition... It started april 2003 when I noticed a sensations before going to bed (like a electricity pasing trough body up end down) Ussualy they would be 2-3x b4 bedtime. Then when driving in a car and entering a tunnel I started to have this wierd feeling of anxiety or maybe some kind of fear. Had to stop couple of times when out of tunnel to get some air and get out of a cabin...Anyhow so far so good but then I started to have panic attacks ussualy at 2 oclock in the morning and that got joined with some strange anxiety when with people. So I got woried for my heart (irregular beat, racing heart etc) and moved from living on my own (33 years old) back to my parents and since then canot get back on myfeet so to speak. It feels like there is a disconecttion from other people and friends, feeling of emptines in my body and head, extreame amount of racing toughts and a constant hypersesitivity to colors, rooms , noise, people ets like there is nowhere I can rest. Have these fears of beeing on my own and if I go out it feels like I am completly vonerable and external events trigger my thinking(certain moment gives u a trigger to a flashback that then unfolds in a series of tougths) so my brain is constatly engaged in a batle and I am worried that I am loosing my ground...I tried with tranqulisers (helex, lorsilan, both benzo) with no result. most frustrating thing is that I feel like I am drifting down the spiral into my childhood and that everymorning my starting point is lower and lower.My confidence is as low as u can go and self asteem is down. Just like something totaly drained me and u end like empty bag. Just to mention I was rather an ergetic and full of life person witha great heart and devoted to my job. Was taking life with "big spoon" that makes it even harder to understand Thanx for replies Z
