Does depression make everything looks dark? Like does it make things look like they have a lack of color? What are symptoms of anxiety? I feel like I’m losing my mind and losing myself. I can’t even take a shower without feeling like I’m going to pass out. Getting up and walking to the bathroom takes a lot out of me. I’m out of breathe by time I’m peeing. My body hurts in many places. My body feels like it’s on fire at times. I’ve been to so many specialist and had so many test performed and everything came back great. Only thing this far is Thalassemia anemia. Like I get headaches, chest pain, pain in my a, legs, jaws. My body feels like it moving when I’m laying or sit down. I feel dizzy, nauseous, I barely eat. I mostly drink water all day and at least 3 ensure. I have tingling and numbness in my legs, feet, and hands. Feeling like I’m going to pass out. My body feels like someone is shaking me. I sometimes feel like I’m floating away from myself. I cannot take this anymore. This feeling last all day, everyday. It’s so crippling. I can’t take care of my children much less myself. I pray that things gets better for me. I have no help, no support at all. People I called friends show their true colors. Even family that I have always been their for has given me their ass to kiss. They don’t call and check on my kids to see if they have eaten or if they are ok. This process has taught me a lot. I don’t know what to do. I know that I need help though. I willing to try just about anything right about now.

Everything you describe screams anxiety . I’ve dealt with almost every symptom you’ve listed over the last month. Two weeks ago I got on Lexapro after I couldn’t bear it anymore. I didn’t want to have to go the medication route but I was at my wits end. I’m hoping the medication begins working soon. I should have sought help earlier. I’d suggest you talk to your doctor about what you’re experiencing. You could need medication and/or therapy. Getting help was the best thing I could have done. Wish I’d done it sooner.

That sounds absolutely awful. I know what you mean about feeling spacey, floating outside yourself...it's a scary out-of-control feeling.🙏

Wow. Everything you’ve just stated, I can relate to. I always thought it was just me dealing with those physical symptoms. Every single one you’ve stated I have experienced. It can be scary and quite challenging especially when you go get checked out and doctors just say it’s anxiety. Please know you’re not alone, I know how you feel. You’re a very caring person and I wish there were more people like you. My depression makes everything look dark too. But you know when you do feel happiness it makes you feel so much more grateful. People who do not struggle with depression or anxiety take happiness for granted.
