Over the past couple months I've been dealing with terrible anxiety and depression. the beginning of this year I started weight watchers and was losing weight and feeling good, than about middle of June I had this terrible gallbladder attack that scared me into a panic attack. Long story short I went to the doctors and ended up having surgery to get my gallbladder out. Ever since my surgery though my anxiety and depression has been out of control. I'm so worried about my grandparents dying, since they're older and not in the best health, or myself dying or any of my family around me getting hurt and I don't know how to stop thinking about it. I talked to my doctor and I was on Paxil for a few weeks but than switched to Citalopram(celexa) 10mg. I was on it for about 2 weeks and I was actually starting to feel like myself again until about a week ago when my grandfather ended up in the hospital for the 3rd time this year causing a relapse in my anxiety and right now I feel worse than ever. I went up to 20mg of Celexa to try and help and 3 days in and it's not doing much. Like I'll wake up feeling terribly anxious like i've been holding my breath and feeling tingly and nauseous. When I started taking the Paxil originally I did start seeing a psychotherpist as well for counseling. I guess the point of what i'm trying to get to is does it get better. I literally get to the point sometimes where I want to breakdown and cry because I don't know what to do anymore because I'll think i'm feeling better and than it comes back. Any advice on what to do or what can help? or any experiences with this that can help me? Please?

Hey Heather, I have suffered from anxiety and depression since I was 12, and I am now 23. I’ve been on celexa klonopin been to counseling, and a psychologist as well. My biggest anxieties are the same as yours and I also get anxious about what we are all doing here and that can get me into a big panic attack. To help I’ve learned that coloring and focusing on my senses when I’m having a panic attack. for example find something you can feel, taste, see, and hear and regroup . It has helped with my latest panic attacks.
Wishing you well,
Taylor
