@benny987- Good morning and welcome to Connect. It sounds as if you are having an awful time. I haven't heard of anyone who has had your trauma that wasn't depressed or anxious. I know that when I have an unexpected illness that needs physical intervention I get extremely anxious and depressed. And it can last a while. I always feel afraid that "it" will come back and that stays with me. I doubt that any anesthesia caused this after so long. Have you looked into therapy? Sometimes some drugs will also make things worse, even anti anxiety or depression meds. What does your doctor say? Has there been anything else in your life that could cause this?

Hi thanks for the answer. I have no clue what is causing my extreme condition. I have become disconnected from the outside world.. i have now become bedridden and totally non functional.. just today i stopped taking all meds except the sleeping pill which relieves extreme anxiety for a while and lets me sleep few hours.. my mental state is so messed up and i am so restless i cant bear to watch or listen to anything.. even my parents talking to each other irritates me.. i cry daily , sometimes i scream.. i get angry over small things.. my emotions are all over the place.. the depression began as a sinking feeling and a pittish feeling in my intestines, then came the panic attacks and then anxiety which is now 24/7... i am not even 1% of the person i used to be.. i am extremely hopeless about this getting any better as i havent seen any respite or any break since over a year.. now as a final resort, i am considering electroshock therapy.. i know it sounds very scary and has bad side effects but i have already hit rock bottom and am willing to try anything which can give my mind some peace from the storm i am going through ...
