I am dealing with emotions of depression and anxiety. I feel good for a couple minutes then I’m crushed by the what if’s, feeling frustrated, feeling angry, feeling like i can’t concentrate so I really just want to lay in bed BUT at the same time my anxiety makes me want to be productive so I’m rushed with thoughts or getting things done. I am so fed up!!!! Can anyone give me tips? When I’m not dealing with this I am pretty positive but man my mind is so good at making everything seem so negative.

Are you getting any treatment for your depression?

[RaqXo]

No I won’t until may

That's a long time! Can't you at least see your GP any sooner?

It seems like whenever my thoughts of depression/anxiety are spinning me in an endless circle, the only thing that can break it is my medication, for me....if you can't get treatment for over a month, that sounds pretty scary....if you can see any doctor, sometimes they are given free samples of 30 day supplies of anti-depressant meds to get you started until a specialist is available? or drug companies will sometimes give to you for free, if you have prescription, so you will try their product.....

I agree, you shouldnt have to wait that long so be more persistent. Medication and therapy are the key. I never thought I would be someone who meditates, but I am amazed at how that helps slow you down and breathe which is always difficult. there are hundreds of free guided meditations on youtube.

Right now I can’t. My health insurance won’t kick in until may. So I kind of have to figure something else out 😐

Right now I’m fine. I feel sane. I just hate when it comes and I feel stuck

Wow. Can I relate. The "what ifs" are a real bummer and tend to take control. Continue to talk it out with anyone, especially the folks on this site. They really seem sincere. Hang on, May will come soon. I lost all my health care when I lost my job, so I have no access to professional help. Consider your self fortunate, there is light at the end of the tunnel
