Can you all offer any advice?

I have depression and anxiety. Is this something I should tell my doctor, I have feelings all of the time of impending doom. Like I’m trying to clean up the house and I feel I’m cleaning because something bad may happen. Or my husband, wants to clean and I keep asking why? Something bad suppose to happen.... it’s driving me crazy really..

Sorry if I sound not right, I feel like I’m not anymore.

Yes do talk to your Dr. sounds like you may need and antidepressant, I have battled those thoughts of/on all my life, I have a great therapist who helps me and understands me, I also take antidepressants every day, I have anti anxiety pills I take when I need one. Do not put yourself down, call yourself names, you need help and understanding with love included. Love yourself and know you have a curable illness. I wish you well sending love & hugs.....Sprinkle 1....

I have the same feeling it's like when something good happens or ur having fun it feels like something bad will happen I understand ur feelings it makes me really sad at times and frustrated

[Brokenworry18 in reply to Jamescrider]

Yes! Exactly! It’s very frustrating and makes me feel down. I feel something good is happening because something bad is happening next! It’s overwhelming! Thank you for replying! And understanding

[Jamescrider in reply to Brokenworry18]

No problem I'm always here to listen

[Brokenworry18 in reply to Jamescrider]

Same here! Thank you I really appreciate it!

I had this same feeling all the time. I felt if something was going well some " bomb" was going to happen next.

I began to feel that being positive was being kind of " cocky" like how dare me have a positive thought when bad would come of it.

With meds and a lot of therapy I have this about 95% under control.

So there is hope

[Brokenworry18 in reply to Dolphin14]

That’s me! All day long! I definitely can’t enjoy the good, or the good moments! And the cocky thing? You said exactly how I feel! So I stop being positive and having fun.

I’m going to talk to my dr again... it’s so hard living this way... and mentally exhausting!

Thank you for replying! I appreciate it’ thanks for understanding as well! 🙂

I was always (and often still do) waiting for the proverbial “second shoe to drop.” Gloom and doom were around every corner making me anxious and depressed.

Through therapy and meds, I’m doing better. So you may want to talk to your doctor. Good luck.

[Brokenworry18 in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Exactly! I hate it. I think I am going to go back, I feel embarrassed but I have to. I can’t live like this

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Brokenworry18]

I understand. I get more anxious and sad the more anxious and sad I am😱

[Brokenworry18 in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Yes! It’s too much sometimes

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Brokenworry18]

Hang in there. Put one foot in front of the other and do what you need to do for you.

[Brokenworry18 in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
