Hi Sarah you have described ALL the symptoms I've had with my anxiety (plus I have many more)My anxiety caused my depression now I'm on meds for both. The thing that is really working for me is cognitive behavioural therapy in conjuction with my meds. The panic program on this site is excellent. It is a lot of work but well worth it. Make sure you are diagnosed properly and give it a try. Let me know how you are doing.

I have depression and believe i might suffer from panic disorder... when i was about 14 years old i experimented with pot but would not say that i abused it or had an addiction. Anway after a session with friends i totally feaked out. Waking the next day i felt like i was still stoned, it was like being totally disconnected from reality. This felt as though it went on for weeks and became intense at times... eg i would feel anxiety for not any real reason, the room would begin to spin, i would forget where and who i was and what i was doing. In all becoming really disorientated. I would feel tense through my neck, sholders and back and as if i was off balance or not completely in my own body. I especially remember having these kind of episodes during the night or while at school in class. It really scared me because i was really young, felt as though i was going crazy, going to die or never be the same again, and nobody really understood. Anyway things got better on their own, however i still to this day have the occasional attack which comes on with out warning and out of no where. I think i would just really like to hear anyones thoughts or feelings on my situation... maybe you have had similar experiences... Im now at uni studying and trying to over come my depression. I am on antidepressant meds and seeing a psyc which is helping me a great deal... :) i heard that P.D is linked with or can cause depression???
