it seems that when i am not as severely depressed, my anxiety (GAD) gets worse and dominates. then when my anxiety's not so bad, the depression rages.
that's what it's like right now; i am not too depressed (Thank god) but i am extremely, debilitatingly anxious. i will take anxiety over depression any day, but it still kinda sucks that either way, i have to suffer. anyone else get this? have you worked out how to find a balance? |

Potentially Triggering Response
___________________________ (((Annaflower))) Yes, I think I do relate to what you are saying. This is my personal way that I relate to you post. Others may relate differently.
Possible trigger:
When I'm not floating that low but am still depressed; my anxiety kicks into overdrive; as I am still able to "think" but my thoughts are pretty instrusive to say the least.
Possible trigger:
I'm sorry if I haven't quite hit the mark. It's just how it is for me personally. Last edited by Crazy Hitch; Apr 17, 2015 at 06:04 AM. Reason: trying to use new trigger icon |

I can relate tot that although at the moment i have both. Are there things you can do to distract? Relaxation? Anything that can get your mind pointed at something else than anxiety?
Take care

Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, risperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn. |

I recognize this. When my depression was bad-bad I couldn't do EMDR therapy because with every thought I'd think "i don't care" instead of focus on it. In that time the nightmares were just motion pictures: no feelings or thoughts at all.
