I have suffered from panic attacks, depression and ocd since the age of around 6 (for the panic attacks). I have seen child pychologists, and since turning 16 been on nearly every med going. I was actually left on lorazapam for over 4 years, after my psych was struck off for raping his patients. I am now off them and have been for over 6 years. Now, im on sertraline and have come off mirtazapine about 8 months ago. Ive had years of CBT, group therapy and seeing a CPN (who was crap, made me feel like i was being like i am on purpose and all he did was keep banging on about the givens method). I dont know what else is available to me. I was re refferred to the mental health team, who decided not to see me as ive had "all the help they can give me". I feel like ive been given up on. I certainly dont put it on, like ive been accused of, and ive apparently had the treatment the government say will cure me. I feel like im backed into a corner. I never finished school, have never worked, and would really love to! I want to be able to live independantly of my parents, but even practically speaking, this isnt possible.
I just dont know what else i can do. Im just so terrified of my panic attacks, every time i have one its like the first one ive ever had and i cant seem to accept them, theyre so intense. I even panic when my mum goes on holiday, its awful. Can anyone offer me any suggestions?
