So all of this extra anxiety I'm having had gotten to me today. I was sitting outside on the swing and I started contemplating if my life was worth living. I then had a breakdown and had a crying episode with really bad thoughts of not wanting to live. Until I calmed myself down and am now a little better. But it's all because I'm sick of having so much wrong with me and I have no answers. Thanks for letting me vent my story today.

Hi Razzi7,
I had a bad day today, too. I broke down crying like you. But, I then took some deep breathes and petted my dog. I splashed cool water on my face and tried to relax. I have an anxiety disorder and it seems like you do too. Just remember that anxiety can make everything seem negative and overwhelming. When you start feeling bad, try to focus on pleasant thoughts as you feel panic coming over you. There are probably a lot of really good things in your life that you might forget. There are people who care about you. As long as you are alive and relatively healthy, there is always hope for you to live a productive and happy life. Everybody has problem and things wrong with them. There are probably people who have far worse problems than you. Try doing something that brings you happiness when you start having negative thoughts--watch TV, take a drink of juice,
take a walk, text a friend. Good luck.

My thoughts are with you. I went through pretty much the same thing today. Still not sure I want to live, but I'm really taking it one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. Hope you keep feeling better.

Thank you for the kind words. It has worked itself out. I do have anxiety disorder and depression and mood disorder. I ended up texting a friend and that seemed to help. Again thanks and it's good to know I'm not alone.

Hey @Razzi7, glad you are feeling better and talked to a friend about it. Just remember you are not alone in this life journey. Recently I just started to read a book about depression and I thought it's a rather good book to have a better understanding abt it so that we can fight against it. The book is titled "Depression - Walking from darkness into the dawn" by June Hunt. I hope the book will minister to your needs. Take care and may God bless you.

Yes you are not alone. I have had anxiety all day this last 2 weeks. You probably know 9 days now on the increase in Zoloft. Takes 2-4 weeks to work. I don't sleep at night and just want to stay at home all day. Which I can't cuz I have things to do. Peace to you.
