I wrote a few days ago, saying I was losing everything. My boyfriend is now gone. This past long weekend I stayed in bed and couldn't get out. I didn't take any medication (My mom said my voice was slurred), but couldn't do it. I called different people and begged them to come help me. Finally and ex came and helped me get up. I was supposed to go to an open house at the school last night. I got there and walked in, but had a panic attack and had to leave. I'm letting everyone in my life down. Most of my family members and my now exboyfriend, think I'm faking this for some unknown reason.

Hi
What medication are you taking? You need to speak to your doctor if it's causing you side-effects and it's never a good idea to stop anti-depressant medication suddenly. The last time I did this I kept crying for about 48 hours with no apparent reason.
You really shouldn't feel like you are letting people down because it's you that's ill and, if anything, it's other people that are letting you down. Maybe you need to communicate your experiences more fully to your friends and family because they probably don't know the best way to help you. I know it's difficult because I have an older brother who refuses to accept that it's anything more than me being stupid. You wouldn't feel like you were letting them down if you had an illness that people could see the symptoms of.
Good luck
Chris
