do you have anxiety, depression and ptsd?

the ptsd is when I freeze and feel paralyzed, but anxiety and depression can be that way too...things I do.... taking a hot shower, crying if nothing else, journaling, just going two steps outside...tiny baby steps...

or else just wiggle toes and fingers if it is really bad day

sometimes just waiting it out for a day, it passes for me...

if access to tv or computer, can watch something funny, this helps sometimes to laugh....xx

Thank you for your reply. I’m not really sure what I have. I just started therapy. I was on antidepressants but don’t like taking anything so I went off of them. I’m hoping I can get to a place where things seem “normal” again. Most days feel like I’m in a fog and I just can’t seem to pull myself together. I’ll think just get up and move and it’s like I don’t even have the energy to make myself. I just lay there awake feeling like I have a weight sitting on my chest.

that sounds like depression, not a doc though. anti depressants helped and still help me. I didn't want to take anything either, unnatural but I know so many people who they do help. there are also st john;s wort and 5 htp, natural things to help serotonin, not a doc though xx
