I'm new, wanting help :)

Hi! My Name is Sierra. I have a lot of mental health issues, I really need help with them. I'm pretty sure I have depression, but I can't tell anyone.. it's so hard for me to talk to people about my feelings, because they think I fully understand what I'm going through. My parents got divorced when I was ten. I always feel pressure either in my head, chest or throat. The throat is usually the worst because it makes me feel like throwing up, all of my stress and fear coming out.. This is my very first initiative, thank you for putting up with my rant. I need advice, please..

My advice is that, if this is interfering with your ability to function, then you need to get medical treatment for it. Your GP would be a good place to start, but it sounds like therapy is what you really need. Please don't be afraid to take the first step, and get your recovery started.

I am sorry our going through all those feelings, it's scary not to understand what's going on with you....jkl5500 is right....I would first get a complete physical work up, and blood work done to eliminate any physical issues to see if there is something physical to be treated. Then if all is clear, it's a good idea to talk to a therapist so they can help you sort things out...anxiety has a ton of symptoms and manifests itself in various ways, depression has various levels as well. I'm glad your sharing here about it, and know that your not alone....please try and read others posts and you will see many others who are coping with similar situations and it may help you to identify with them....
