Me, too! This process is hard. I just try to take tiny steps forward. I'm working on medication and waiting for my first therapist appointment. Sometimes, I break the day into sections so I'm not so overwhelmed. You will get better!! Chatting on here really helps.

I hope you get better. I just wonder how other people live and enjoy and I took life sooo hard , I can’t enjoy the way I should , my relationship importantly

Try to find interest on music YouTube or anything you want or to do art or strength in prayers. It will help and there is also TikTok if you do not want to search on youtube

Am I depressed? I think it’s not just anxiety anymore

You know Morphling, In all the years I struggled with Anxiety/Agoraphobia,I never considered myself depressed. Sad maybe that overwhelming Fear had

taken over my mind and body.

Medication and therapy helped break that cycle of fear for me. With that, I

was able to work on myself, my issues. Find answers and when I couldn't, I

accepted that this is what I've been given and I will see it through.

We can't feel good again until we break through in what is holding us back.

Small steps forwards are always better than staying stuck.

We're here to help you my friend : ) xx

Agora , I’m pretty sure it started from Anxiety , then it lead to overthinking and ofc more Anxiety, now I’m stucked in this cycle and depressed. I shouldn’t have done this to myself. Isn’t it a good thing to not believe you’re depressed?

Morphling, you didn't do anything to yourself. Some of us are born with an over sensitized nervous system. As things happen throughout our lives, we react moreintense and tend to hang onto the fear developing into a cycle of fear begets fear.

We can't help how we feel depressed or sad. We interpret our emotions differently.

There is no right or wrong. Seeking the help from a professional can help guide you

to a different path. I've had much therapy in my life,. It can help immensely.

Know that you did nothing wrong... Wishing you well Morphling :) xx

Anxiety and depression are so tightly linked. It is easy to go back and forth or be in a mixed state. What really matters is that you're taking care of yourself and seeking help in whatever form.

I don’t why I have some ideas that pushes me back and I know they are wrong , like medications aren’t good for body and therapies will make me look crazy.

Its good old fashioned Stigma. The more you read now, the more you see media stars tell their story. You are not "mentally ill.' You are having some mental health struggles. All ok.
