Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Anxiety will put all sorts of stuff in your head... not a good place to be. Would you consider talking to your doctor? I am so glad you at least recognize that the things going on in your mind are not always a reflection of the things around you. Again, my brain gets me in real trouble if I'm not careful...
Something can be so simple, yet your brain grabs hold of it, and won\'t let go, and the more you try to calm down, the more it takes control. I had a panic attack so bad once in an airport because they canceled my flight, that they called an ambulance and police, and escorted me out of the airport and made me wait til the next day before they\'d let me back in.
It\'s like, once my brain gets anxious or panics, I can\'t stop. Meds do nothing. All I ever want to do is die. Yesterday on the road, I contemplated dropping the car into 1st gear and making a sharp left turn across 3 lanes of traffic into the side of an 18 wheeler...
Somehow I kept myself from doing that. But I couldn\'t help but want to do it. I don\'t know why depression has a hold over me. But it does. And anxiety and panic seems to come along with the territory.
Good luck with the darkness in your head. I don\'t think there\'s any cure. At least that I\'ve found.
