Hang in there,sweetie. I have an anxiety disorder, so I know all about the horrid panic attacks and they just totally drain you. It's funny how things come to the surface when you're finally feeling better - it's time to deal with the skeletons in the closet so to say. It's incredibly hard, but it's the only way you're really going to get over it.
Be strong. Keep up with your relaxation - have you ever tried yoga? Try a really gentle one like kripalu. It's really helping me.
As for the appetite, cut yourself some slack. A lot of people gain while on antidepressants, so don't worry. Once you're feeling better you will get back to a healthy weight. In the meantime, don't worry about it.
Antidepressants take up to 12 weeks to work, but you may feel a bit better after just 2 weeks. So think that this is just a temporary state and you will be feeling better soon.
I'm praying for you.
You will get through this. You have the strength to fight.
