New Here

[sillygoose31]

Hi, I am new here. I have been experiencing extreme anxiety and depression for the past month now. I really need a community that I can talk to about how I am feeling and what is going on in my life. I am extremely sad and my life feels like it is slowly crashing around me. I don't want to be so bogged down anymore. Can anyone relate?

I am living in that world, I have a wonderful therapist, and my kind Dr. has me on an antidepressant and anti anxiety.It is very slow, but I am improving. Go and get help, talk to your Dr. if you have insurance that should help pay for it, do not suffer needlessly. I wish you well, sending love and peace. Sprinkle 1......

Hi, thanks for responding. I see a counselor once a week and am on antidepressants/anxiety medication. I know what triggered it. I was broken up with a month ago. And it really brought up some of my past trauma and hurt.

sorry to hear that hopefully as the counselling progresses and the things you learn you will be in a better place again sooner rather than later.and you have us as well to help you through difficult times.

Of course we can relate. At some point in everyone’s life that’s exactly where each person stands. This is when you lean on friends, talk to a therapist, and personally I favor peanut brittle; by the ton.

I’m so glad you joined. Share your life with us. These people are kind and caring and have some good coping skills.

Welcome home

I feel the same. I tried to find comfort and understanding with some friends but the more I confide, the more they do nothing but add to my depression, anxiety and stress. I just felt like running as far away as I could. I felt so alone that nobody understands me. They think it will go away but it won't. I'm just trying my best to cope each day and find a reason to wake up each morning.

You're here now , where you need to be. All of us have been where you are, we have stared that black dog in the face and we are still standing. People who haven't had the opportunity to challenge and prove themselves run in fear when they are told about your experience.They really have no understanding and have a belief that one can snap out of it if you try. We know better. We know you have to face your fears, seek the help of doctors and therapist and find the support of people you can trust, So I assume you have or are getting this in place, and then off you go. A new life by your design. It will be slow going, hard work , lonely at times , but worth it. We will be right here when ever you need us. Pam

Of course. Been there a lot and just lost my job so pretty down in the dumps. It was my fault for losing my job due to a technical error but it was my first jump back in to full time and it was really good $$$. Really hard not to blame myself. Anyway feel free to talk away. Life is rough sometimes. Someone suggested a book to me when I first posted on here a while back. Feeling Good by David Burns. I can’t recall how far I got but I know it helped me.

Hang in there....we are all feeling the same way. I have a few thing that might help naturally....you have to pick a nice hobby its good therapy, eat healthy foods, drink alot of water and try to do yoga meditation and nice soft music. Any questions just ask....we are here to listen.
