Hi everyone, I am new to beyond blue. Ive been suffering depression for several months now along with anxiety and panic attacks. I am seeing a psychologist and am on medication but am going through a episode that i cant pull myself out of right now. I have just gotten engaged to the love of my life and feel so guilty for feeling like this. I work part time and the times im not working i want to curl up in bed and eat.. emotional eater all my life..  Just wanting to reach out to others who understand this situation and dont want to 'fix' it. My fiancee is a fixer and i cant talk to him about how i am feeling because he just wants to fix it instead of just being with me in these feelings.
