Losing hope. Falling into Depression by Drew13in Anxiety

Well then, you gotta thin, has this happen to you in the past? Maybe you don't know how to deal with anxiety. I'd ask to see if you should try medication or not.

This is actually very true! it's scary though. Does not make the anxiety easy.

There are a lot of things that anxiety can hurt your health. For me, anxiety has affected my heart. Every time I am under stress and get anxious my heart hurts A LOT. Even when I suddenly get anxious it just hurts. I also sometimes get parts of my body where my skin is sensative to touch. Like it burns such as my hands and arms.

I'd see a psychiatrist instead; they can prescribe you something that can help you with the anxiety.

I know exactly how you feel. I think you should consider going to a psychiatrist for a new medication. Trust me. I faced the SAME THING at the last months of Senior year, and did terrible the first year old College because I didn't get any help. Now, i'm just about to go to a psychiatrist to get on medication so everything can slow down for me.

:) You don't have to loose hope though. It's a bitch to handle, but just remember that you can't do this alone. PM anytime if you need advice from me or just need someone to talk to.

I used to taunt my boyfriend with that too--what if I drive him away from me being too crazy. But the only reason why he doesn't think i'm crazy is because he's seen worse: he used to work at the psychiatric center. He told me about the patients who did way worse things, so this is like a mist compared to what he's faced with. So I do trust him, but its slowly happening. I just don't constantly tell him i'm insecure about him. And I do acknowledge him :) I actually thank him for being so supportive and that he's a really good boyfriend.

It's just in a way, what if I don't end up with this guy? I love him and he's become my best friend. Just like you have said. He's incredibly smart, is very passionate in the things he's interested in, has a great job (IT manager--told you he's incredibly smart), funny with a very dark sense of humor (like reddit), and just knows how to handle me. He understands me. I even remember when he was getting to know me at dating he told me, "just watch, I will marry you. And with that as long as you love me i'll love you."

And to me, the thought of not ending up with him makes me sad. I don't want to be like those girl that are already thinking of marriage. I just hope he's the guy who will understand me when i'm sane and insane for a very long time. Not to mention my anxiety already has me on a constant on guard (some of you know this feeling) just lurking out the dangers out there.

And actually, i'm going into medication soon. The therapist recommended me a psychiatrist so he can diagnose me again and see what medication I can get on. Hopefully, something that doesn't mess me up.

That is EXACTLY how I feel during therapy. I felt like some whiny bitch with no legitamate reason to feel sad. Like I was comparing myself with a child in Africa who has to drink cow urine to stay hydrated. But my therapist said just about the same you said--give yourself credit: these are your feelings.

I hate that I let my feelings be validated by people, but as you said yourself we have been mentally programmed by these people to conceal our emotions.

My boyfriend has been good. Very good. In fact, i've never been with a guy who's been willing to stop in a middle of date to leave early and calm me down in the car. To let me cry as hard as I can on him, and stay up late when i'm not feelings too well. He has even tried getting educated over the subject of anxiety and depression to find ways of feeling relaxed during a panic attack.

It just, once more, makes me feel like one of those 15 year old girls that say, "OMG I LUV MY BOYFRIEND OF 2 WKS AND WE GONNA BE MARRIED FOREVER AND EVER!!!"

And I hope i'm not. I just gave a chance to someone that said they thought I was attractive with a great personalty and can somehow manage me. I don't know perhaps the invalidation others have given me is not letting accept that someone is giving me the time of day to support, love and care for me??

Funny that you mention how your anger and blame was only hurting yourself.

That's something I want to learn to avoid. I mean, I know I have all this pent-up anger and sadness inside me but at the same time I feel this might not be healthy for me. It's just so difficult to release these feelings because it feels ridiculous.

I just want to be able to find a healthy way to release this.

Thank you :) I know its not going to be an easy journey, but to make it a little more better I am soon going to get to a psychiatrist and try to get on medication. Sometimes my mind runs too quickly, and there are some days anxiety runs wild. It's hard to handle stress; triggers anxiety.

Anything you can say with experience on medication? I hear many things about anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.

Actually, I don't. I only have one person I trust but I'm not even ready to tell him this at all. My boyfriend. It feels so tacky and naive that a guy i'm dating has been very supportive about my anxiety. He'll let me vent a lot on him, and seems to be perfectly fine with it. But the thing is, he's just my boyfriend. What if we break up? I know I can't predict the future, but its why I haven't told him this yet. It's just too personal and deep to me.

Wow I didn't realize I didn't even introduce myself in this post! guess the sudden urge to type my feelings away.

I'm just a 20 year old female going to College. I felt odd calling myself an adult, but I guess i'm a young adult? I guess I was going for all grown up. No longer a child.

I'm noticing that i've been just an angry and sad person too, but I just want to see the next step in which I can release that all and be able to deal with the anxiety

Thank you for reading my post. I felt that it was bouncing everywhere since my emotions were spiraling at the moment, but it felt good.

I HATE going into fast food restaurants. Not only because of these things but because of the shitty service. They always look like they're in a shitty mood an YOU'RE ruining it. So I don't even go to begin with.
