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 ...

Your descriptions are recreating fear, anger, panic...and more, from my own turbulent experiences. Please try and break free of the anguish, by dipping your face into a bowl of ice water, or doing two sets of ten jumping jacks, jotting down fifty United States, even brushing your teeth! You are among people who have given you up swinging direction and want to help you sustain a belief that you are much closer to your well self than it may seem. Keep sharing here and we’ll all be together helping you to keep your chin up!!! I’ve seen wonderful results from ECT. It did not help me - yet neither did it hurt me, Think optimistically towards it, and feel free to ask any questions.
