in the past two weeks I have lost my best friend due to a huge fight, tried to run away (and also steal my mothers money) I have been developing eating issues (overeating/emotional eating.) and I have been consuming more alcoholic beverages with constant thoughts of stealing things or running away.

I had a huge panic attack last night, it's actually the first one I have had in a while and it really smacked me in the face.. I need help. And I don't know where to get it...

Where do I turn?

Try to write out your feelings, your symptoms, and see what is involved with all this.

Sometimes, we change certain things to stop one particular thing from happening, and the results take us in the mixed up, inside out, upside down, all around situation.

Best wishes.

Prayer always helps. I don't know what your beliefs are.

Anxiety comes from being scared. What are you scared about? Try to think things through and write them down. Make a column of what you are worried or scared about and in another column possible solutions.

Look into Cognitive Behavior therapy.

Go to someone you trust and tell them you are suffering. Explain you want help and your anixeties are high. If you can find a therapist, do so. There are people who know how to help. The fact that you know you need some help is half the battle. Good Luck... you can feel better again.
