I want to die...

Can you have anxiety without experiencing the physical symptoms?

Hello

Can you expand a little how you are feeling and what is happening at the moment

I wonder because your title says I want to die if you maybe suffering from depression and not anxiety maybe ?

Take Care x

I've seen doctors, physiatrists and I've been diagnosed with GAD (Generealised Anxiety Disorder), I've been diagnosed with Depression and Borderline Persoanlity Disorder. I doubt EVERYTHING. I have experienced voices (my own), it's as though my brain split into two and one side is saying one thing and another is saying the complete opposite.

A couple of weeks a go I was on my way to sixth form and I got this really sharp pain in my head, I could feel my heart beating inside my chest, and I couldn't see properly for a few minutes. I'm on Sertraline for Anxiety but it's making it worse, I shake a lot, I have a constant weight on my chest, tingling in my finger tips...

Hello again

You are so young and here you are having to go through all this , I really feel for you and doubting everything is part of how anxiety/depression makes us feel but we slowly have to start believing and trusting to help us move on

You say the meds are making you feel worse you need to go back and talk with your Doctor about this , it could be they may change them

You have seen Doctors and been diagnosed and have meds but are you getting therapy of any kind ? it sounds like you would benefit from some ongoing therapy at this moment

I hope family and friends are there for you and giving you lots of support , never be afraid to ask for it and accept any that is offered x

I was diagnosed with depression in 2012, at the age of 13. I received CBT (Cognitive Behaviorial Theraphy) for a little while and as my depression became less noticeable I was discharged. I've only gone and relapsed, what if I'm like this for the rest of my life? What if I'm coming in and out of mental health issues for the rest of my life? I was sexually abused as a child, I have no mother or father. My family (what's left) are very supportive but they just don't seem to understand. I don't experience any physical symptoms other than the ones described because of my medication, I just doubt absolutely everything. I feel like something isn't right but I can't put my finger on what isn't right. Thank you so much! X

O sweetheart I really feel for you

Now try not to think of all these " What if's " because we can go through life having a miserable time all based on the " What if's " that may never ever happen !

The " What if's" which none of us know what they may be could also be all positive one's like we get a good job have a nice home and so on we just never know we have to stay in the now and at the moment you are having a bad time but this will change

There is so much that has happened to you at such a young age that never should have and that alone would affect you but with the support you are going to get I really hope it will help

Family won't understand unless they suffer , but people on here do but it is nice you have some family members even if to give you a hug because we sometimes need one

While you are waiting for DBT please speak with your Doctor about how you are feeling at this moment , they could try & speed things up but you must keep them updated so they can look and maybe change any treatment that you are on

You should feel really proud of yourself , you are going through so much and yet here you are still in School and must have stayed on to be in the sixth form studying and after everything you have managed to achieve this , you are one special young man and never forget that x
