I am sad and upset not for any apparent reason. Or, for many reasons...I do not know. I am emotionless yet sad and angry most of the time. To be exact, I've been this way for 12 years. I went to a psychiatrist once and he was no help. Eight years ago he told me to remember four words (as a test for dwelling on things) at the end of the hour he asked me to recall them.....pencil, rose, Chicago, twenty-one. I still remember. Why? I do not want to remember things so odd. During the last few years, I have begun to notice physical effects from my feelings. I now cannot go anywhere without a cup of liquid in my hand because sometimes (manytimes) I begin to choke and the liquid helps it go away. This problem has advanced some more in the last year. Now, my heart rate increases, I cough then choke then vomit. I have tried to help myself climb out of this deep hole, but, I seem to plunge back in just as I believe everything will be ok. I am on meds for depression and panic attacks however, I still feel the same.... sad and angry. I cannot continue feeling this way forever. My body cannot handle this pain. Help.

Hi,
Sorry to hear about your pain. It sounds like maybe you might be having panic attacks. When I have them my heart rate sky rockets and I feel like I'm having a heart attack. On occasion I do throw up. See you doctor. God bless you.

-----------Do you have any idea why you might be so angry? Anger is typically a response to pain, and both cause anxiety. Your symptoms sound quite suggestive of an anxiety/panic disorder.
