Depressed and tired of it

[Wandering123]

I'm waiting ti see my therapist and thinking why can't I be normal? I have depression and anxiety which is ruining my life. I sit ar work and hear my co-workers laughing and talking to each other and I'm jealous. I feel nauseous when I get up in the morning, I cam barely eat. All day my stress level is through the roof and my heart pounds. I've been asked nicely to leave my job and now I have that stress. I just want to get up go to work come home and live my life. How do other people do it? Why me?

I used to wonder why I am one of the anxiety/depression "chosen many". My mother had anxiety, my father had Asperger's and my brother is a paranoid schizophrenic. So I know why I made cut to become mentally ill. I go through many of the same symptoms as you on a daily basis. I don't have to work as I'm on disability which was granted on my first application. My wish for you is to have a good counseling session and that the stress of work somehow lessens.

Wandering 123, I think one day you will be able to live your life and be happy with a combination of psychotherapy and psychiatric medication.

If I can do it, then you can do it.

It takes time. But it can be done. Depression and anxiety doesn't have to ruin your life.
