Hi,
I'm Dwight 35.
I have dealt with depression for years.
But something happened in April I have thought about it and not sure what it was. But my life changed. Since April I have made it to work 5 days, never two in a row. If it wasn't for my mother paying my house payment and light bill I would be in serious trouble.
Most days I find myself staying only in my bedroom, alot of the time never getting out of bed. I have been on Paxil on years, but I did finally make it to my doctor to talk a little about my problem, he changed me to Effexor XR, which I am not sure helped at all.
I have panic attack alot, three out of the last four nights.
I don't know where to go for help or who to ask for, or even what to ask for. I have read some on agoraphobia, which is how I found this site. I am sorry for rambling, but it's hard to get my thoughts in order on this. I want to go to work, I need to go to work, but day after day, week after week, I can not go. I am slipping more and more into just staying in bed, I have even stopped watching shows on tv. Any advice on where to go for help would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully, something were I could at least make contact for help fom home, since I haven't left the house in weeks.
