I also think anxiety can cause depression. Just my thoughts.

They both suck, but depression is easier to manage and usually less dramatic. It takes more skill to cope with severe anxiety, which can lead to panic.

Hi phoenixfel,
I agree they do both suck!!! I can only speak for anxiety because that's what I have. And it sucks.
I have heard though that depression is easier to manage. Not having to do with the panic attacks that anxiety gives you. There awful. When you feel the panic I try to stop and take some deep breaths. It helps. Thanks fior your comment. Yoga too is helpful for me.

Hi Hawkns,
Hope all goes well with your doctor visit.
Glad to hear your staying busy and enjoying life. You take good care. Sorry to hear about your son.

Thanks for the friend request too.

Well I have both and neither is a cake walk, but anxiety is worse for me hands down--especially when in public and an attack hits and I feel like I am about to pass out.

Hi NeedAdvice2013,
I hear one is no better to have then the other. I have anxiety. When it hits me I feel dizzy and my legs feel very weak. It's awful.
Hope you feel better.
Thanks for your comment. Also deep breathing helps.
