That my life wont ever be normal.:/ I have been dealing with depression/anxiety all my life and have yet to feel normal.(30/m)In fact, i dont recall a time that i didn't feel overwhelmed or full of anxiety.My life has been overwhelmed with social anxiety i've missed out on so much.Every time i try a new anti-depressant i have such high hopes that it will pull me out of these horrible feelings,yet it never does.I have recently filled for disability in hopes that it will get approved and i will be able to get on a decent health care plan and get the help i need!

I seen a pysch doctor when i went for the disability interview and tried my best to explain exactly how i was feeling.It was tough seeing that my head is sooooo foggy its tough to get the words out.All i want is to find a med that works so i can work out my problems.

What i'm most terrified is that i'll have anhedonia i guess its called and never feel any form of happiness!How common is it for a person to never be able to function again?I guess this was just a semi-rant but just needed to get it out.thanks for listening.

Hello, jake2041.



I am not sure how common anhedonia is. I understand where you are coming from with regard to the lack of happiness. I think most of my time is and was spent trying to be happy.

I noticed that not too many people had welcomed you so I decided to leave you with these thoughts before your posts get beyond 50.

Do not be afraid to post questions in the appropriate forums and should you find a member who you think might be answer the question you have, you can use private messaging as well.

The moderators and the community liaisons are likely to direct to information if they do not know the answers to your questions. Good to meet you.

Welcome Jake. You've come to a place where you'll meet so many people who understand you and will give support.
Depression and anxiety are horrible diseases and hard to fight. I hope you are able to get on disability if that will get you the help you need. In the meantime keep posting here and you'll not feel all alone. It's really hard when your mind is all fuzzy. Try to get outside and go for a walk.
I hope you feel better
