I need that too but I also need human touch, my husband and I are going through a thing (I don't know what else to call it) It is very hard for me to talk about this after having a 12 year bout of depression I don't know how to treat the world any more. I find I am getting more and more sad and am crying a lot. My heart hurts physically when I think about it. I am considering an affair just to have someone touch me.

Hi everyone, I really need a friend to talk to, I am so lonely and depressed and sick of crying and feeling sorry for myself. And my panic/anxiety attacks really scare me. I have become so afraid of heights and the unknown and don't know where this came from. Since I have moved to S.Florida I have no close friends like I did back home and I need that. My children are grown and have families of their own and I feel empty inside. I love doing for others and now that is gone and I am so unhappy. Everytime I hear a song from the past or a movie it reminds me of when my kids where young and how I loved doing things with them.

My doctor wants me to go on medication, but I don't want to be a vombie. I do take Zanax for anxiety attacks and it helps. If anyone would like to talk to me I would appreciate it as I really need a friend. Thank you for letting me vent.

Hey CarolynB2,

I would love to talk to you about anything you would like to talk about, just name it. I understand about depression and the other problems that you have and I am here for you. I have suffered with depression for 13 years and I know about the lonely empty feeling that you are battling, daily. Please don't hesitate to visit my profile and leave me a message.............I am here for you.

your friend,

I am here to talk if you want, there are so many nice people here, they have helped me allot. Ladybugg is one of the best and she and I talk

I personally didn't like Zanax because it made me too sleepy to deal with my kids. My old therapist suggested there were options which would not impaire me but sadly I can't remember what they were called. You could also try naturopathic options. My friend swears that Effexor has helped her panic attacks quite a bit, of course they still happen but are more likely to be manageable with a merazopan?
