Tired all the time and feeling depressed.

Lately the last days I have been struggling with my anxiety and depression due to excessive stress in my job. When my meds did not work enough, my doctor increased some doses because I was starting to have panic attacks episodes again. I can handle more the stress in my job. I feel stronger but my depression is still doing me bad. I just want to sleep all day, and I know that I can do it. I have nightmares every night so I can't rest enough. When I am awake, I start to feel like a mix of emotions the whole day. Sometimes I feel stronger and happy because I feel that I can do whatever I want. Then suddenly I start to feel a bit of fear for my future. My mind never rests. I am always thinking a lot of different things and I can't stop. After that feeling of fear, I start to feel sad because my emotions don't let me to do a lot of things. It is like if I am not living my life and then the feeling of guilt comes too. I can't stop thinking that I am going to ruin my life because I can't control my depression. Everything around me feels like a huge problem over my head and my back that I am not able to handle.

Sometimes I just want to cry because I am scared all the time. Then after some time I start to feel a bit of hope and relieve because I start to gain strength again. But everything is like a cycle. Everything happens again in my head.

I am not sure if I explain well what I wanted to say.

Right now, I feel that sadness and fear for everything.

I feel like we are cut from the same cloth...i kept feeling like i went down my own checklist to even medication upped but here we are...NOT ALONE. i wish i could cry...i wish i could run i wish i could heal both of us on what seems endless at times. I hang onto the fact of THIS TOO SHALL PASS> mine wont...im living with a person who doesnt care yet too much illness to go outside and find a hole to crawl into....im not always so dreary. a norm is a very happy loving friendly person. Maybe there are more of us just getting by each day.My relatives are adopted on site. we are not alone but boy often i do feel this. we do not want to live in fear not made to do that.i wish happiness for your on your journey and thank you for the post.

I just want you to know that your not alone!! I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and yes my mind plays all the same tricks like yours!!! And I hate that feeling because it’s scary!! Crying is good and screaming to let it out!! Also having a good support system at home can help a lot!! But you are here and we’re here to try to help one another and to let others know that there so many of us that suffer from this freaking mental illness!!! And hopefully 🤞🏼 one day they find a cure for it!!

I know how this feels. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. I've been trying to keep bubbles of time where I don't think about work and just do something for myself. That seems to help. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Keeping going!
