I’ve always had a little bit of depression, not anything major, but like feeling like shit about myself and not wanting to move or see anyone or do anything, normally I’d wake up feeling like that, but it would last a day or two, I have terrible anxiety, but I’ve been having this weird feeling I never felt before, like when you have a panic attack that wave of adrenaline and fear rushes over you? Except the last week atleast a few times a day I’ll get like a chill feeling and a rush of sadness comes over me, and I get the feeling of wanting to cry, and feel so hopeless, does anyone else have this? I will admit the last few months I’ve maybe left my house 3 times, I’m always exhausted, spend most of my day in bed, not wanting to be around anyone, but I chalked it down to my anxiety (I have atleast 3 panic attacks a day) but these waves of sadness are getting stronger to the point where I just want to cry and not move at all, I’ve lost all interest in everything, lost my appetite and everything looks dim to me (I don’t know how to explain it) but everything literally looks dark to me, any advise or has anyone been through this and know what it is?

Waves of sadness?
It's all very scary. Same happens to me but I realized it's because I have issues in my life I'm struggling to find the courage to deal with. This situation causes me panic and anxiety.
It really is! It’s so weird because I’m not a crier, and I’m usually more anxious than sad but lately it’s been more of being sad, it’s such a weird feeling shifting from freaking out to just wanting to rot away :/ I hope you feel betters soon and thank you for your reply
When I had anxiety I sometimes got those waves of sadness. The initial wave only lasted for a second or two but it left me feeling very sad for a day or more.
I thought this only ever happened to me.
You really need to get out if that bed and get active to eliminate that exhausting feeling that you have. You need to get active, if you don't move yourself those bad feelings won't move away from you.
I hope things improve for you, you are welcome to chat with me.
Take care.
It’s such a weird feelings, just a literal wave from head to toe just like a panic attack, except like a panic attack is hot and terrifying and the sadness is cold and dark 😭 now I understand why people say they feel blue, so weird, I really need too. I’m so sedentary it’s terrible, the only time I move is to get my kids up, and ready, and feed them and they’re pretty chill so they normally just play in the living room while I chill on the couch, so the only activity I get is taking care of them but they’re 5 and 3 and so they’re so relaxed. I want to try yoga and start small, it sucks being only 22 and having no energy and full of hopelessness. My main problem with physical activity is health anxiety 😭 I hate the feeling of my heart beating faster, and now from being sedentary the last few months makes it worse because obviously my body is used to doing the bare minimum, thank you for the advise I appreciate it, I hope you feel better too. And same goes to you 
Hi this sounds like depression to me but I am no doctor so the first thing you need to do it get yourself off to the doctors. There is help but you need to access it.
The worst thing you can do it stay indoors and mainly in bed. I know you feel exhausted and know that feeling well but you need to start pushing yourself a bit more. Only small steps at first then you can work up to longer ones.
Do you have a garden? if so go out every day in it. If not then start going out just a few yards but every day try and push it further. Try and stay out of bed once you have got up and if you feel tired rest on the sofa or something. Save bed for night time.
Instead of being scared of your heart beating fast be assured this means it is working well and doing what it is supposed to. x
I’m not a doctor but i can say that I understand 1,000% where you’re coming from. Lately I’ve been feeling this awful, dreadful feeling of hopelessness and negativity.. almost like I’m being left behind and I just want to stay there with no motivation to fight it. I’m 22 and feel like I’m wasting away these years to being down and depressed when I can be making something of myself like everyone expects me to. Just know I’m here for you girl, if you ever need someone to talk to
