Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

my biggest mistake, when i first started getting panic attacks, is that i would try my hardest to stop them from happening... and that would only make them ~INFINITELY~ worse
when i figured out how to recognize the signs, and tell myself 'relax, its just a panic attack, it'll pass soon' and then ride it out... it was like popping a hole in its balloon... and it was much, much, much easier to handle
i hope this helps some
*hugs*
