<font color="#000088"> not sure if this should post in depression or anxiety??
i've dealt with depression forever. but during the past two years, i've started feeling anxious. at first i didn't pay it much notice. then i just considered it a fluke & made excuses. but it just kept coming back over and over. now when i'm not depressed, i'm anxious. this sucks! has anyone else with depression experienced this? i've been on medication for depression for years. wonder if that plays a role. they're completely different feelings. one day i'm depressed and i don't want to get out of bed. i feel like i'm under a steamy, heavy, wet blanket. about to suffocate and break under the weight. the next i'm anxious (i still don't want to get out of bed) but i feel jittery and nervous. like someone stuffed me in an ice box, closed the door and the light turned off and a little gremlin keeps coming up behind me yelling boo! back and forth. both incredibily uncomfortable feelings. i don't like it *pouts* i'm anxious right now cuz i have a doctors appointment tomorrow. i only go to a regular doctor for meds. but i haven't seen him in a year so he wants to check in. and he won't give me multiple refills till i do...darn doctors and their sneaky ways! oh well. just venting a little today i guess. take care all! </font> |

hi blue roses
 i had anxiety and depression at the same time.. one seemed to feed the other.. i was anxious about a meeting and my mind went in circles about all the things that might be said and how i would respond.. made me very stiff socially for a while and i was often out of timing with the natural flow of conversations or not prepared for the questions and topics.. over time i gained more knowledge and was better able to respond, but for the longest time it caused me a heavy depression over feelings of inadequacy and ignorance... it got better when i got older and after several years of working at it.. |

I have both depression and anxiety and it can be very disorienting.

the questions always come before the answers roses.. just try to breathe your way thru it this time... when you arent as upset you can spend some time examining the the thoughts behind the emotions.. are you afraid of rejection? that was always one of my big anxious concerns...
wishing you the best.. |
