Hi hun

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough and difficult time lately. I think it would knock many of us for six. I’m afraid I can’t offer advice on your other posts as I’ve never had a m/c and I’m sure others will pop on later and hopefully give you advice regarding trying again etc.

Having panic attacks and panic disorders are common. Have you spoken to your doctor about your time and how you are feeling? May I ask was it just one form of anti-depressant that you tried as there are so many out there on the market that it’s more likely that the one you had before just wasn’t suited to you.

I had panic attacks and anxiety after splitting from my ex and it got to the stage that I bolted myself in the house and did/couldn’t go out. I remember from your previous post that you’ve also had health worries that cause you anxiety along with the grief that you’ve experienced (mentioned above).

I would suggest possibly trying a different form of anti depressant (if you feel able to) and/or looking into having some counselling.

I found that counselling was hard but it helped tremendously, at the time I refused medication too, so this might be an avenue that could look into. It’s not as bad as I thought it was and I was hugely worried at the time that I’d be deemed officially crazy but I wasn’t they where lovely people, listened, passed tissues when the hurt  and heart ache over flowed the barriers I’d put up. I would strongly suggest and recommend it but please know it won’t be a click of the fingers cure, but a timely one after all this didn’t happen in one day but over a period of time. Otherwise writing a diary or a blog might help you sort out the feelings and confusion you feel.

Good luck hun hope you find a way forward soon.
