Hello. I have been doing great for a while, but suddenly things have been really hard on me lately. I have been receiving anxiety attacks, getting super tired, feeling guilty and shameful, and now I just want to sleep to shut out the day. I have realized that I have a past that could have lead to my reasons for feeling depressed.

1. i have had a fear of the dark so I had insomnia as a child
2. i was attacked by a man
3. i have had such severe acne, that i could not leave the house and be out in the sun for a period of 3 months. when it got better, i was afraid to make interactions with ppl.

But these things happened to me years ago, and although it had caused much suffering, I thought I overcame it. Do you think that since I have had this past, that now, when times are hard, especially with the economy, I feel helpless and depressed? I will be waiting for your opinions and ideas.
