I'm suffering that too right now poptartqueen... going sometimes days without seeing or hearing from anyone, and often weeks without hearing from some of the people i would like to hear from. the depression is tough enough on its own.

i also sometimes "analyse" everything. at times that causes me so much anxiety that i can't sleep and can't concentrate or even think of anything else. right now it is not that bad, i still spend a large part of my day in anxiety but i can find a few moments watching tv or something and be distracted. i've talked about this with my therapist. i might ask for something to help with the anxiety the next time i see the doctor. i don't have "panic attacks" or that type of anxiety disorder, just a general mind racing that continues and disrupts concentration and sleep.

i hope you can find some relief. have you spoken to your doctor or therapist recently about this? i definitely think that would be a good idea since they may have some specific suggestions. or may want to change meds to help. some meds can raise your level of anxiety so that may be an issue too.

good luck.
