How do they deserve it? Panic attacks aren't exactly easy to control. Quit being such an ass.

Harsh much? Calling everyone an ass is definitely no way to make new friends either!

"learn to relax". incredible. rawlings123 has single-handedly cured panic attacks. this revolutionary technique has changed the lives of every person who struggles daily with panic disorder. congratulations rawl you have done this world a great service.

Sorry about the depression...but glad you can finally hang out with someone! Hope it all works out :)

Holy shit OP I feel like I was reading something I'd written. I know exactly how you feel, it sucks right now I know but just keep your head up and try meeting new people/making new friends. If you find it difficult approaching people - e.g. not knowing how to start a conversation with a stranger, for example, try taking up a new hobby/join some kind of club and find people who share your interests. At least it'll be something fun to look forward to. Good luck OP, hope you manage to salvage your old friendships or make new/better ones, or both :)

try not having another flip out during your lunch

Good for you OP. I hope you have a fun time and get to catch up with her.

Hope you have fun! I know exactly where you are coming from (mental illness ftw), after so many "no's" it's always surprising and awesome when someone finally says yes :).

Have fun OP!

Shit shit ignore this comment

Its good you're feeling better op. Good luck in the future!

-89 Are you serious? You must have never met someone with panic disorder or chronic depression.

I'm happy for you hun :) I hope you beat your depression. Make sure you have a great time at lunch on Monday

I recently moved from the east coast of the USA, where I've lived my entire life, to the west coast. I've suffered from severe depression with suicidal tendencies & anxiety attacks brought on by stress & social situations most of my life, from being horribly bullied throughout my childhood, up until graduating from high school. I came here with my husband after he got a job offer he couldn't turn down. I have no friends & my only family here is my husband. I've slipped back into a very deep depression & recently brought myself out of those suicidal thoughts by focusing on music, getting back in school, & my husband. I know exactly how you feel. I have met 2 girls since I moved here that I thought could become friends & the only time I hear from either, they want something or are turning me down when I ask about hangin out. I really do know how it feels to feel cut off & ignored. I hope this stops for you soon. If they are true friends, they would make time for you. I hope you can find a way to make more friends that are willing to make that time for you. I have no job, no vehicle, & no way to make new friends so my depression & social anxiety have become much worse over the last year. I hope this isn't the case for you. I hope things get better for you soon. Keep smiling.

Hang in there OP i suffer very similar attacks. That's anxiety for ya. Comes out of nowhere sometimes. Glad u get to hang w Ur friend, make sure u tell him/her how much it meant to u to catch up or whatever. They may be more likely to do it again soon knowing they're appreciated.

sounds like me, you only need good friends, not people who don't want you around. You seem cool and kind of like me op, chin up :)

Hope you had fun.
