An interesting question I have...........

Mornin sickman,

  Please forgive me as i am not trying to minimize your plight, but.........i think that you may have been bitten by the love bug! Being close to someone that we are crushing on could actually make us sick, not in a bad way tho. Panic attacks, nervousness, sweating, stuttering, difficulty swallowing is a bad case of the "Oh my Gosh's" and your freaking out over it.

As far as directing you to a safe website, i suggest looking up panic attacks and the reason for them. I think you will find that a panic attack is caused by some kind of interuption in your life, even a good interuption can cause us to go into a tail spin. So now if you decide to at on your feelings, you will probably feel the panic all over again. I think that becuse you allowed yourself to finally realize that you like this girl, your nerves have settled a bit causing the anxiety to rest. Now, if you want to, move on to actually speaking to her. Good luck.

We all feel sad and emotional at certain times in our lives, and  we all cry for some reason or another. Happiness can make us cry, something sad and or tragic can make us cry, even the occasional cry when there is absolutly nothing wrong. One can get emotional when they want something and either can't have it or can't figure out how to get it, crying over that is based on frustration.

When you speak of depression, is it frustration or are you honestly depressed about something? Every human gets depressed once in a while, as do animals. This is quite normal. But if you allow your depression to become severe enough where you loose control if it, that means it's time to see your doctor. Getting overwhelmed with something like your crush, could get you so frustrated to the point where you can break down and have a good whine for yourself.

When you are feeling these depressed feelings, what is actually happening at the time? Sometimes i get up on the wrong side of the bed and stubbing my toe on the way to the coffee pot can totally ruin the rest of my day. I to cry at the most inopertune times, and i thinks it's a bunch of stuff that is all banded together in my head and i just can't sort it out. The next day it's good.

I hope you have good luck with this young lady at your group meeting. Just be relaxed and calm and just talk, you'll be fine. If she is not interested, you will pick up on that really fast, but don't let it get you down.
