Edit: Im asking because I'm currently going through some serious depression and I've been forgetting stuff lately. I wake up every morning with a panic attack, I am too tired to do anything. I barely had any appetite to eat. I just wanted to see if I'm the only one. Hearing stories from others makes me feel less alone.

Sorry if I sound pathetic af, I'm just sad

Edit 2: I'm gonna mark this as NSFW because the potential very traumatic stuff.

I'm just here to listen to your story? Do you have the ability to check in with a doctor? Often the "easiest" way is to let someone else take care of making an appointment for you. That's the first step. You can make notes of what you would like to Tell your doctor, or simply hand him your notes. Maybe you can try a medication, which can lift you up a little bit and definitely reduce the panic attacks and give you the strength for the next steps. Feel hugged!
