Pain in the ass!

Depression is a pain in the ass... i swear. I feel like i could deal with anxiety more than i could depression. Maybe it’s just me, but i feel like the anxiety attack’s aren’t as bad as when you are in that deep depression state.

Either way they are both a MAJOR pain the ass.

You are so right. I have both panic disorder and depression and don't know which one sucks most. I think for me the panic is worst than the depression. My doctor just started me on buspirone for the panic and I hope that, along with my daily dose of Wellbutrin, will help settle things down.

I hope that combination works for you!!! I think that’s another crappy part of having anxiety and depression is trying different meds to figure out what works best you.. i know it’s a trial and error thing but it’s like uhhh hurry up and find the right combo!

I could not agree more, I have both depression and anxiety and it is a lot easier to deal with my anxiety then with my depression. My depression is a lot worse than my anxiety and honestly I wish it was the other way around. I have been in that deep depression state before and it just feels like there is no end in site.

YES!!!! Exactly. With anxiety i can still semi function and i feel like my anxiety is more manageable with meds. But my depression is like a rabbit hole from Alice in wonderland. Like i just keep falling until I’m in a strange ass place.

I feel the same about my anxiety, it's like you have it for such a short period and then you can move on with your day. But with depression it just stays around for what seems like forever!!! In the last couple of days my depression has hit really hard and caused me some major problems with someone that I care about, and I do feel the depression getting a little better each day, it just sucks that it takes so long to bounce back from even a small depression episode.

It seriously is the worst.. depression is just a straight up bitch. I hope you get through your episode soon! What i hate too is that while you are in your episode it’s so easy to get down again and then you have to start all over...

What you said about the getting down again and having to start over, yep well that just happened to me, I was feeling a little better yesterday and now today I am right back in that miserable spot I was before.

Depression is awful and I know how hard it is to just hang in there until it improves. I am sending you a BIG HUG and will send up a prayer that we all get relief from our ailments.

Depression is hopelessness about everything whereas anxiety is being fearful about everything. Depression robs you of everything and takes you too a very dark place where you feel there is no escape. I would chooe to have anxiety any day over depression. Too have both is like being in hell.
