My anxiety is through the roof! I feel like I am failing at everything and I cannot get myslef out of the spin cycle.
But this leads me to devastating depression and I feel like the world would be better off without me.
I wish I knew what was the cause and what was the effect. Am I anxious and that makes me feel depressed and hopeless or am I depressed and hopeless, and therefore consumes with anxiety to try and feel ok....
Would love supportive feedback
Hi yipeyul, I’m the exact same way. I can’t even think of a good reason for the anxiety...except I’m afraid of the anxiety which makes me depressed which makes me more anxious and on and on. I don’t know which comes first either, the chicken or the egg. I have a question though do you think it matters? Maybe it is just all interconnected somehow.

The reason why makes a difference to me to figure out what kind of treatment that I should be pursuing. I have very good reason to be depressed as I am in therapy for my childhood sexual abuse. If that is a Cause, then there is no need to treat my anxiety separately. But if this is more of a chemical imbalance based on my anxiety, and therapy will just be more difficult.
Please excuse my erroneous talk to text. It is your screen name that put a smile on my face
What do you mean you're afraid of anxiety?
Well for me the anxiety is more physical than anything, and I feel horrible,. So I’ve become afraid of it or the depression, whichever is causing me to feel horrible. Ever heard or experienced something like that?
Definitely heard of it. From many people. But no, I have not experienced it myself.
