depression

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post. So I apologize if it isn't. Basically I've had anxiety and ocd since I was 15 years old, I'm 27 now. I get horrible ocd to the point where I can't function unless I do something to combat the triggers I feel. I also have horrible hypochondria...

I can't get a break. First I've got body (back) health problems, then up comes period problems, and then comes teeth problems, and now I might have eye problems as well. Each problem comes with the stress of calling/making appointments, driving to new places for tests, and the growing paranoia...

Hi, My name is Kim. I came here to discuss a fear of mine that I am attempting to gain a grasp on. I just tonight learned that this fear has a word, thanatophobia. I am consistently worrying about losing the ones I love, I fear them dying almost daily. Does anyone have advice? It causes me to...

Im having such a bad day and just need to vent. I woke up feeling anxious and miserable. My family is hanging out in the living room and im sitting in my bedroom crying and isolating myself. When I get in this kind of mood i get mad at everyone and everything. Its frustrating when your family...

When my husband got back from deployment in the middle east, he was always agitated and depress. Things were never the same, he was never the same. Maybe it was everything that he had witnessed while he was there or maybe it was being back to a normal life that he could not adjust too. That's...

Hi all, So this is my first ever post on here. I am in my early 20s and have been diagnosed with social and GAD and depression. While my diagnosis was 4 years ago, I know that I have been struggling since I was a kid. I have early memories of the physical symptoms I would get when I had to go...

I wake up and feel like my body wants to go back to sleep. I heard that's a symptom of depression. That plus my shortness of breath and all this other stuff. Aches and pains in random places. All of it doesn't feel good together, quite frankly. I wanted to enjoy the day today. Go have a picnic...

And I have for a long time. There's times with my parents. Sometimes I love them and feel so lucky to have them. And others I wish they'd just give me up for adoption.. so maybe I can be understood by someone else. They attempt to understand my anxiety and my depression. But based on what...

Hello everyone. My name is Michael and i'm from NY.I have very bad health anxiety and depression. If you'd like, feel free to read my profile and it pretty much explains everything. :(

im in ninth grade right now i have so many problems i need to deal with. my mom makes me want to kill myself. she seems like a normal mom, but she reminds me of everything i hate about myself. in speech, you learn to evaluate someone, where you should have two-three good things and one bad...

I have been living with depression for so long that I associate certain habits with depression, such as staying in bed, sleeping too long etc... Over the past 5 months I’ve been doing loads of work to help my depression and it has help a lot! I haven’t had a suicidal thought in about 3 months...

My mind is overwhelmed with thoughts. I'll try my best to keep it short, while trying to get my points across. Basically, I have been struggling lately, emotionally and socially. My anxiety and depression had disappeared about a year ago, and now I feel it creeping up. Life in general has been...

Hello everyone. I am new here. Used to be a member of a few forums but it's been a while. I used to work on forums actually. It was fun. But anyway... I have bipolar disorder and my anxiety and depression have been really kicking my butt lately. I have a really hard time getting out of bed each...

Hi everyone! I’m new here, but I really just need some advice and support from a community that understands what I’m going through. About a year ago, my dad received a new job in Chicago, IL (we’re from NY) and moved out there. My mother and him are still together, so she spent the next year...

A few months ago I saw the dentist for the first time in years and had to get a tooth pulled, since then my teeth have been aching for no reason? I have all my cavities filled and my dentist just told me to wear a night guard. Literally all day everyday my teeth are hurting and I don't know why...

I am in a long distance relationship and we both suffer from depression and anxiety. I can manage mine pretty well except when it comes to certain things. One of these is that she doesnt talk to me what is going on. She shuts me out and it cause my anxiety and depression to go wild because I...

hi! Thank you for viewing my thread! I am constantly nervous. I have been for as long as I can remember. I’m 13 currently and even though I am just a teenager, my anxiety is the same as an adults. I have been to several therapist and I’ve tried taking medicine, but nothing is really working. I...

Hello everyone, I've been struggling with health anxiety for years but this is the first time I've ever actually joined a forum to talk about it. 2015 was a terrible year for me. I began experiencing some weird symptoms in early February 2015 but I ignored them and chocked them up to ovulation...

My name is Michelle. I'm 29 and I've been diagnosed with GAD and MDD but I haven't been to see anyone in over ten years. I actually decided to post here today because I've had a particularly hard day. I quit smoking cigarettes about two months ago so I've been on edge most of the time anyway...

I'm a first timer, and am a bit anxious (duh) about trying something like this, but here goes nothing. I'm a mid 30s male, and have in a way struggled with life for as long as I can remember. Spent a decade on meds which made me more zombie like than less anxious/depressed; have spent time...
