going through a really bad time....and scared...

the past 2 months my anxiety has been overwhelming...some days were better then others but it was always there... but for the past 2 weeks i've been feeling like i'm slipping into depression...and i don't know what to do. i'm scared. i have so much on my mind at once...so many worries so much stress and i feel like i'm going crazy. i can't sleep...i have no appetite...my mind races all day long with worries...and i try so hard to relax and think positive but it just doesn't seem to work. i haven't been to work for 2 months...feel like i can't go back...i just feel like i'm totally loosing my mind and i've never been through something this bad. how can i over come depression? has anyone else felt this way? or gone through this?? i'm really scared. i don't feel like myself. i don't feel normal and i don't know what to do. will this feeling ever go away? i don't want to feel this way anymore.

talk to me.....anyone....

think you will be ok, think you are having a downer or bad episode, think it will pass everything will be ok you need to refocus perhaps on something to stop your mind racing, did something happen recently to cause you to feel this way, I had a bad episode similar to you last year it did ago away in the end, let us all know how you go

i have constant worries on my mind...so many all at once...and i feel like i'm going crazy...i can't help what comes to my mind. everyone tells me to stop worrying and relax but i can't control it. i try to but the thoughts don't stop. i'm so scared...it is ruining my every day life...i don't want to leave my house...i don't want to work...i sit home all day with these thoughts and worries and fears and stress...it's so bad. i don't sleep so i feel exhausted...i sleep 2 hours and wake up...go back to sleep for maybe 1 1/2 and wake up....i haven't had straight sleep in 2 months and i think it's all mental. my mind won't let me relax. i just don't want to feel this way anymore. i've never gone thriough something like this and i'm really scared...

Ok yes you sound in a really bad way my heart bleeds for you, have you seen your doctor are you on medication, have you seen a councilor think you need proper help coming on here is great but think you need a professional to help you and something to help calm your thought process and get you back on track you sound like you are having severe anxiety

I absolutely understand everything you are saying.

Read the posts under my profile. I use alot of the same terms...especially "I'm scared."

I can't stop the constant churning thoughts. I can't sleep or eat. And that makes a bad situation worse.

You are not the only one. You are not alone.

And even though our mind tells us it is hopeless, it will get better.

I know, I've been there, recently.

And I wasn't sure I would make it.

I'm not ok, but I'm better than I was.

I'm really sorry you're experiencing this situation. Do you have a therapist/counselor you see? If not it may be wise for you to seek one out. I've been seeing a therapist for my anxiety for the last year and a half and it has been phenomenal for me. I tend to slip into deep depression myself so I have to stay proactive about my mindset otherwise I'll spiral fast. Are you on any medication? I think one of the benefits you have is that you are aware you may be depressed-that something is off- and in my own experience, this is where healing can begin. Id really encourage you to seek out some support before things cause you anymore strife.. I have an awesome resource on depression I can send to you if you're interested. Hope you're doing better today.
