You have come to a good place. Most people here are wonderful and supportive. If someone isn\'t, just take them with a grain of salt and move on. I am somewhat new to DS too but NOT new to anxiety and depression. In fact, I have been dealing with them since I was in my 20\'s but keep in mind, it is strong in my family and biochemically ruled. By your profile I am wondering since your episodes are more recent if your issues arn\'t situational. Either way they are painful emotions and we all need support so know that you are not alone and there is hope.
Everything is very new - so I am wondering too if it\'s all situational. I think it\'s just everything coming to a head. The state of the world and the suffering (both human and animal - big animal lover here) has had me sad for some months now but it was only recently that it\'s all interrupted my day to the point I can\'t work etc. I\'ve also met a man I\'m absolutly crazy about recently and this started just after I met him. I\'ve also been pretty philisophocal in the last few months wondering why am I here? What am I supposed to do? Blah - it\'s just all so overwhelming. I\'m normally the one everyone goes to to get a good laugh in that this is driving me nuts. thoughts of death and destruction are not who I am at all. I appreciate the support. I just joined this site on Friday and haven\'t had any major anxiety since then. A little but nothing that has had me doing the \"ugly cry\". heh.
