Depression but now anxiety?

I have been treated for depression for 3-4 years now. Never have had an anxiety issues but I am now finding recently that if I do something that upsets my wife or kids it stresses me out a lot and I feel that tightness in my chest. Anyone else experience something similar?

depression and anxiety are often linked. I actually had anxiety first and then encountered depression.

the two often come together because they are caused by similar brain chemical imbalences

i would talk to your doctor/counselor who has been treating you for depression and tell them about the new symptoms. the sooner they can help, the better. anxiety is one of those issues that only gets worse if you keep putting off getting help.

if there's anything else i can do to help, let me know

Yes I get the mean side of anxiety, in my chest, in my gut, my legs get weak, it is awful and I hate it. I am on two med's, they help, but not enough as far as I am concerned. I have suffered from depression all my life, then anxiety decided to jump on the band wagon. As one of our followers said, get attention asap,it has a tendency to get worse, our brains are mysterious organs, I hope one day they will be able to rid us of these sufferings. Do look after yourself, i.e. good sleep at least 8 hours, exercise and a healthy diet, hang out with positive people who can bring your energy level up. In the mean time I wish you well, come and talk to us we are here for you. Sending Love, Hugs & Peace. Sprinkle 1.............
