I don't know if I'm even suffering from depression. I feel like its more fear and I'm in shock. I mean, I don't eat and I don't have energy. I haven't showered in a week and I've been wearing almost the same clothes for 3 days. I can feel sadness but I'm also terrified. I'm dizzy, lightheaded, I feel like the inside of my head is foggy and I feel a little nauseous. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to think anymore. I don't like loud things but also silence drives me crazy. I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind. I don't know how long I'm gonna be like this but everything is so scary. I just want to see my therapist again.

Have you called your therapist to see if he/she can get you in sooner? I'm sorry you are not feeling any better.

I think seeing your therapist is a very good idea. it sounds like you are stuck in a very scary place. I always saw it as a bad sign when I said I was scaring myself. I knew it was time to take some action and be honest with t about where I was at because I was afraid of what was going to happen. so if you don't have an appt please make one so you can take steps to get out of this hole you are in. please take care of yourself.

Yes, it's very scary.

I have an appointment with my therapist on the 17th and then on the 18th with my regular doctor.

Sounds like you could have an anxiety disorder of some kind, its possible you also have depression since it is quite possible to have both.

I have had generalized anxiety disorder since I was pretty young and I also have PTSD and Depression so I feel a lot like what you describe quite often.

My therapist has neither agreed or disagreed to my self diagnosis. I get anxiety and depression because I'm afraid to die. I don't know if I have PTSD. it isn't a big issue right now but I'm always very paranoid when I'm out. I don't like to go out alone and I get terrible anxiety when my sisters are out by themselves and I'm not with them. I'm always checking if no one is following me when I'm driving or always spotting suspicious men. When I was in 7th grade, my sister and I were walking home from school and a van stopped in front of us, a group of guys opened the van's door and said "do you guys want candy?" and then my sister and I ran to our house. We were very scared. Then, maybe 3 years ago, my sisters, my cousin and I were on the street and then two men in a black car started following us, we turned the opposite way and they turned around. They made it very obvious, we ran into a liquor store and they parked outside and then we called my parents and they came to pick us up. We we came out, they were gone. We were in the store for about 20 mins. It was very scary. Now one of my biggest fears, is getting kidnapped or my sisters or mom getting kidnapped. I don't like going out in public alone or my family going out alone. I try to avoid it as much as possible. I haven't discussed this with my T yet. one of my sisters is still in HS and whenever we go pick her up, im always afraid she wont come out and i feel very anxious. this is one of the reasons why i dont want to get a job or go back to school because im afraid they'll go out alone.

In order to have PTSD you would have had to suffer a traumatic experience so if you have its possible, but it is an anxiety disorder so it can still cause panic and such for no reason sort of like regular generalized anxiety. But yeah I'd certainly suggest talking to the therapist about all of what you said here...I mean in a couple of examples it sounds reasonable to have been afraid, but if you're constantly plauged by worry and fear than its very likely to be an anxiety issue.
