Hi, Im not sure what i am dealing with.

I have depression but I think I may have anxiety too. I have trouble sleeping because thoughts of what I need to do, or what could I do better, or how I just am not good at life. All these thoughts toss through my head and won’t stop. Then I get incredibly angry about small things, I feel stressed to the point it’s taking a toll on my body. My back and shoulders feel like bricks because I feel the weight of all my home stress. And I feel terrible that I feel this way because I have 3 beautiful boys I was blessed with and that they deserve better than what I’m able to give them right now. (Don’t get me wrong they are happy and have everything they need, it’s just in my head I guess) . I just hate talking to a doctor about it, because I feel like a complainer like they may say thats life deal with it. Idk any thoughts????

talk to your doctor. trust me. i was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder 4 years ago, and depression less than a year ago. while it may not be easy to talk to someone about your anxiety, it makes a huge difference. i told my doctor and later my counselor that i would have panic attacks because even though i knew it was totally illogical, i felt like there were invisible spiders in my room... seriously.

but you know what? they didn't laugh. they understood what i was feeling and worked to help me through it. and if your doctor tells you to 'just deal with it', i would talk to the manager, write a complaint to whoever is supposed to be in charge of them, because that is seriously not ok. anxiety can take over your life if you let it, but there are so many things that can help you cope with it.

i hope this helped. and if there is anything else you want to know, feel free to ask me

Thank you, I guess I just needed to be told that it’s not crazy to feel that way about talking to a professional about it. It’s just scary.

It is scary. I told my husband that today. I have 3 beautiful daughters and a wonderful life but suffer greatly with anxiety and depression. On meds and saw therapist last week and will continue to. We can get better but need to seek help and trust others.

U should go speak to ur gp. I was diagonsed in 2006 with depression and anxiety. My doc waa great helped me try different methods and getting to know my depression and how to deal with. Tried different medications to which one will help. So hopefully ur gp will do the same. Hope ur ok , its so hard to switch off, if u need anything just txt 😊
