Feeling like having a break down....

Hey yall.
I have post naything in a while but hear's what's going on....
I have been suffering from signs and symptoms of depression lately. I have been doing good for a couple of weeks now, even found myself getting back to the person i use to be. Feeling myself getting back interested in the things i used to love to do. Able to tolerated people again. Well, recently something has came up but that i have been worried about. I am a worry wart. So today, the thing i am worried about has explode and worried so much that i gave myself a headache. I feel all my negative emotions coming back. I feel worthless and that no one cares. Nor understands. I feel like i am alone with no one to turn to. I have tried not to stress about certain things because when i stress, i get chest pains. My grandma told me to go to the doctor to see if i can get something for my nerves because it could be anxiety. But i don't get chest pains all the time, just when i stress a little too much. My bestie and talked about it and she thinks i need to see the doctor too because she has been noticing that i haven't been the same for a couple of months now. I just recently opened up to her about my feelings of depression and despair. She thinks that i might need to take some time away from them to get myself straight. But if i don't have any friends to turn to, then i fear the i might sumcub to my depression and/or anxiety. I feel like if i dont get some type of help, I am losing my tight knit circle with my family and friends. Then it will be just me. I scared to talk to my doctor about it because i dont want her to think i am crazy or something like that. I keep changing my mind about going to the doctor for this for the simple fact that scaed of what my family and friends who do not know what i am going thru will say. Today, i have decided that i might need to see her, but i just don't know what to say to her.

My question is: What do you say to the doctor when you want to see her about this? I don't what say for my reason as to wanting to see her. Please help if you can. I am tired of feeling this way. What do yall think i should do?

Print this off? I'm sure it will give her as good an idea as she can get

Tell the person who is making the appointment that you have been feeling ill and need a check-up. If they ask your symptoms, tell them, "Chest pains, feelings of anxiety, sadness, and constant worry." Tell the nurse the same. Tell the doctor the same. They will take it from there, ask you lots of questions, take your BP and vitals and perhaps order some routine lab tests to screen for stuff. Having a panic attack feels very much like some symptoms of a heart attack. If it is all anxiety, they will recommend some treatment for you, to help you feel better. If there is a medical condition contributing, they will diagnose it and treat that too. It may be very difficult for you to admit this to the doctor's office, but, it will be familiar to them. Many of their patients will come in with similar symptoms and they are used to dealing with them. They will be very happy to help you, and it will be easy for you once you take that first step of calling. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks yall. I really do appreicate it.

Iam sorry that i dont have a good answer but i have been recently told that i have severe bipolar depresion and didnt know wat to do but my friends told me to just take a breather and just let all of my anger out whenever i get angry and i know this sounds silly but whenever i get angry now ill pull out a pice of paper or my laptob and vent my anger out and fake like i was going to give it to that person.... but after i felt better i just threw it away or i will erase it it gets rid of some of the stress but not all of if and i heps you to not hold it in and bbecome depressed again good luck to you and i hope that u make it through

I was scared to talk to my doctor, but I wrote everything I wanted to say in a letter and that was much easier as I tend to shut down and not know what to say. So I really do reccomed a letter. Hugs to you, keep us posted

Hey yall.
I am in the process of calling my doctor, now. I am very nervous in calling her. I just feeli like i am at my wits end. I just found out that my workplace has a employee assistance program. HR said it is completely confidental. I am thinking about it. It is a free service. I am not sure about it. What yall think?
