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.
I know this is mostly about my anxiety but I feel so lonely and scared and wanted to post it here too.
My anxiety has been so severe for several months now. I'm not coping well at all. I am barely eating and feel sick or get sick all the time. I shake and shake all day. I'm so scared of everything and feel so lonely with this anxiety.
My pdoc today was trying to decide if I should go back into the hospital. Since I'm not functioning well and am really feeling suicidal. I just feel like being dead and free of this anxiety would be so peaceful. I just want a break from this severe anxiety. It starts even before I'm barely awake and stays with me all day.
I have been trying to go to school, but I'm not doing well and fear of failing a couple of courses.
My memory isn't good, and a lot of that is the after effects of the ECT treatments I had.
Pdoc has decided to retry the meds that seemed to help my anxiety some, but not so much the depression. He is starting me on much higher doses than usually would be started to try and get a jump start on the anxiety.
Thanks for letting me "vent".
I feel for all of you suffering from anxiety.

Are you a teenager? If so I remember going through something terrible in my life during those years but I did not have a clue as to what was going on inside of me. No one did not educate me about anxiety, unfortunately I had to learn on about this on my own. I suffered with headaches, had low self esteem, irritable, lost weight, and just felt horrible. Today, I'm older and felt good until problems began. My mom is very depressed about several things, and her mind can not stop thinking about negative things all the time. She is taking medication for her depression. Mom wants to move to another state, I hope it helps because I remember she suffered there too.
If you want to vent, you can send me a message.

peppersteddy you are right anxiety does suck!
i used to have pretty terrible anxiety. i'm all but cured, but it took this big mustering of courage and charachter, and a leap of faith that i would be OK even though i had no evidence of it.
go right into your anxiety, go right into it, talk to it, tell it you are going to hug it and be best friends with it and know it no matter what happens.
this takes courage, and you cannot fake it.
muster the courage and do it. i promise you you will be ok. i have been where you are and i promise you 100% you will be ok. just have courage and trust. have courage and trust.
As I type this, mine is pushing through the ceiling, trying to escape to the stratoshpere.
Without the meds I need that I know work, it probably will take me the:(:(
