I get it, I've been there. You feel like your drowning and too tired to fight the current. Your family and friends are either tired of hearing the story or you've just stop hanging out with them. You feel like not fighting the current anymore and just let it take you under.

Anxiety and depression are linked.

Meds and counseling helped immensely. Over the years if gone through a myriad of different was to cope. I find they help for a few years then I have to adjust my way of life. Best of all, I always resurface better and stronger than the last time.

As for losing people i cared about, now I look back and realize they really didn't care about me. It hurt at the time, but later I realized I was better off without them. The friends and family who didn't give up are still around and I love them all.

My son 23 has had anxiety and depression and he is 23 . He feels the same - no emotions- he doesnt care and also has been drinking for about 3 years. His anxiety got so bad these past 3 months - but cut down on drinking and sti needs to stop . He says he feels like that song “comfortably numb”.. He also feels unreal and i found out what he is dealing with - dissassociation disorder , it seems like this . When you feel like you are not in your own body and also see tunnel vision. He is constantly feeling like this . He would throw up every morning for rhe past 3 weeks. Took him to a therapist and she saw him once and recommended he go to intensive outpatient therapy and fix his alcohol addiction and sent him on his way. So now i am trying to find a therapist to help guide him into getting help . I think medication will help. It wont change who you are. My son thinks it will. But i know from an outside view i have seen it work.

Your not alone.

There is help out there!

Hang in there!! Its not your fault its chemical signals in your brain not workong correctly..

Im still dealing and trying to get my son to want help.
