panic attacks

or at least that's what I think they are. I keep waking up into them. Then its seems throughout most of the day I have to take deep breaths or it starts up again. I freakout over everything even when Im happy Ill easliy get upset.

Sounds like panic attacks. I get them and they are horrible.

Ive been on depresssion meds before and I did horrible on all of them. Idk what to do

I get then really bad when I'm away from my daughter. Talk to your doctor there are meds that can help if u need them.

Ive tried being on meds but the side effects are just not worth it. Ive kind of just learned to live with it, sometimes it gets bad and sometimes im really good at controlling it. When it happens you just have to remember to breathe and go to your happy place till it passes, kwim? Is there any major life event that could have triggered it?

what does kwim mean? Not always I can go to bed a happy camper and wake up and instantly have one

kwim= know what I mean

You said you had been on depression meds before but did you ever try anxiety meds like ativan or xanax? I know they can be addictive but I had awful panic attacks a few years ago and those medications really do work wonders.
