Hey Kid

I don't know about your symptoms and can only speak for myself. When I first became ill it was anxiety and panic that came out. I went to my employee assistance counselor and he explained what was happening to me as anxiety and panic as I had no idea what was wrong. But he also said I fear a deep depression underlying it, he was so right. Within about three weeks of that visit I was in a major depression like I had never seen before. My diagnosis has changed over the years from clinical depression to major depression to bi-polar disorder to schizophrenia and now to schizoaffective with major depression. So I don't know how all this happened or what came first and it really doesn't matter. How we got somewhere we don't want to be is not important, it is how we get out is. So concentrate on recovery from whatever it is that is bothering you at any given time, it will surely change. I don't know if this answers your question or not but I hope it helps.
