crushing dread...something is terribly wrong...intense feelings of doom...extreme heaviness...panic without the energy behind it...trapped in a world completely separate from everyone else...nothing is real...totally alone...
oh wait, this horrible feeling IS reality...there is nothing I can do about it...desperate to escape but I already know there is no way out...totally unbearable but nowhere to turn...foreclosure (this is it, this is all that there is)...I could disintegrate at any moment...my whole being is screaming NO!!!!!!! |

You sound in misery. Take care and don't hesitate to get help if you are in crisis.

Sorry, I should have added (was trying for once to be concise!) - I am not feeling this way right now (thankfully), I'm just trying to make sense of it (part of my work with new therapist)

Wow, can I ever relate. I'm so glad you're not currently feeling that way, thepterodactyl! Are you trying to work out if that state is anxiety *or* depression? I don't think of it as being one or the other. More like a diabolical blending.
 Very sucky state to be in, no doubt about that.

Dissociation, likely derealisation? Panic without the energy behind it and nothing seems real.
Arguably a defence mechanism, like mania and depression. Either I was too selective in reading your post or you might need a new therapist. It could (and might very well) of course be something else. At any rate, hope you find out how to deal with it better.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

(and me too!). I guess I'm realizing that what I thought was 'just' anxiety was more likely - as you mention - 'a diabolical blending.' I'm hoping that by being more self-aware of the role depression plays in these states will help a little in the future...

What you're feeling sounds awful. Hugs.
For me my anxiety often causes me to feel depressed! Who wouldn't feel down when they have this black cloud of dread hanging over their head all the time, have anxiety attacks that last hours, and always feel like puking.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
