I deal with anxiety and depressionI get so overwhelmed and I don't know what to do.
I have been going through this for so many years. I have done medication and therapy and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I think I am going to scare myself to death.
Right now I am sitting here crying and trying not to hyperventilate.
The smallest thing pushes me over the edge, a nosebleed and I think I am dying, a sore spot in my head will do the same. Sometimes I think I am crazy
I'm so sorry you aren't doing well.
You are not crazy. Anxiety does a number on us.
How long does the episode typically last?
We are here for you

Hi! Thank you for sharing. I came here right now due to the same feelings. From a very bad night of horrible dreams to non-stop shaking and absolute terror as I worry about everything, I totally understand. I have just begun seeking professional help after a diagnosis of PTSD. It is so hard trying to hide these symptoms and fears. Fir the first time, I was put on Zoloft but it’s too soon to feel any improvement. Today seems to be a battle controlling my feelings and for the first time ever, I fear actually losing control. It is all made worse because I lose my voice when upset. And I hate to bother people and fear they won’t trust me anymore. Wishing you good thoughts.
Ot makes you feel alone because you don't believe anyone will understand or be able to help you. Or they will tell you just get over it
Think we can all resonate with you. Your not crazy at all, it's a cross we have to unfortunately bare. I over catastrophize things myself and can't break the cycle. Stupid simple things that totaly make me think the worst. It goes on relentless in my head. Just keep thinking your not alone and lots people think of what your going through. Stay strong
We understand how you feel, believe me. We are overly sensitive to stress. Hope you feel better soon.
Whatever your minds says now most of them are not true. Don't believe everything u think. I wish you strength and light.
I suffer from anxiety and depression. I recommend going through TMS. " Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression. It's called a "noninvasive" procedure because it's done without using surgery or cutting the skin. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), TMS usually is used only when other depression treatments haven't been effective. " I just went through TMS treatment. The depression appears to have been lifted. I am now focusing on my anxiety. I am still seeing a therapist. I recommend continuing to seek counseling. I believe that I am slowly improving. I think you can too! Don't give up! Continue the good fight! Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I have been dealing with this all my life it seems. Sometimes I become so overwhelmingly sad..like I said to the point of tears and all out terror.
Chemical imbalance, emotion unbalance, stress ...had a doctor tell me some time ago that I was clinically depressed. I have tried hypnosis, every type of medication, been in the hospital twice, been under the care of a therapist, I used to journal but it seemed that all I was doing was writing down sad and depressed thoughts and crying all the time. I read my Bible, I pray. I have no coping skills and I feel completely lost. I used to garden to try to keep myself centered but again that does not work. I don't know what to do.
I've dealt with anxiety for over 40 years. It is to the point now that I think I only have a few days left. I have tried everything to fix it but I can't fight it anymore. It's a horrible exhausting disease.
Cal51 I am sorry that you are suffering. I am glad that you are here with us to know that you aren't alone. Please keep trying.
If you need to talk I am here to listen.
I am told the apt word is you will come through.
It is horrible but this seems to be a safe forum to connect with others.
Do not give up....my friend Kim said to me...just breathe slowly in and out. Center yourself until you can hear nothing but your breath and believe.
I feel similar. I convince myself that something is terribly wrong and scare myself into a panic. I don’t know now how I am supposed to know when something actually is wrong or if it is just my anxiety.
Severely depressed
You guys my memory problem is scaring me 
Celebrating 2 months today Yay 😀 
Horrible disabling anxiety
