Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I don't have time to get depressed because the anxiety keeps me going 100 mph. I tell my dr all the time that I will be his first case of human combustion.
The panic attacks are the worst, and I don't get depressed after them, but I get physically sick from them for a few days.
That's why I never understood why different pdocs wanted me on anti-depressants along with the klenopin. If I'm not depressed, why would I need an anti-depressant? If anything, I should need ritalin or something. Tried Straterra, but it was like taking aspirin.
Is there any particular reason you are asking?
but i have anxiety, and panic attacks.. and anyone who gets it would agree thats its the most frightening thing ever.. it makes me more anxious the longer it stays, it runs my life for me on occasion, and i wish everyday it would just be gone.. but i never get depressed!!! you would think it was all connected wouldnt you? x
apparently anxiety can be a sympton of depression....
I was told by a therapist that Robin Williams is bipolar and to look how he is most of the time.
But in researching bipolar, if you are "UP" all the time, then you are also prone to doing things like buying 3 cars in one day etc.
Maybe I am bipolar, who knows........... I just know that most of the time I'm too hyper and the only time I get down is when I get pissed off at the panic attacks trying to control my life. The anxiety is a part of my personality now a days. It keeps me up and bouncing around like the Energizer Bunny most of the time....... but then there is also, what I call the "bad anxiety". That's when I am so scatterbrained, totally unorganized, cannot focus on ANY thing and my thoughts are all scrambled up.
I've probably got so many different issues going on in my head that no one knows what all to classify them as.
But as for depression............ no............ I don't have the symptoms of depression. I've always known depression to be when you want to sleep all the time, cry all the time, etc.
Or maybe anxiety IS a form of depression. Who the hell even knows how the human brain works. Do the pdocs even really know???? If there's a chemical imbalance, why can't they scan your head and see it?
I just know that I get so sick of the roller coaster ride. I can go smooth sailing with my hyperactivity, but let something stress me or upset me.......... that's when I'm at my worst.
Today was definitely one of those days!
