Hey em! Why have you been feeling I'm no expert but have a lot of experience with depression and anxiety xx

[PhyscoEmz89 in reply to emmylouise1992]

Friends and family been telling me I've been acting out of character and talking fast. I've also been experiencing strong feelings of guilt and almost no enjoyment about anything. I have stopped eating due to a recent mental breakdown. I can't cope with social situations very well get very paranoid Andy thoughts that people are watching and talking about me x worried😧

Ahh bless you don't worry my anxiety and depression gets me the same! I have times of talking fast I panic at the thought of leaving the house and my depression leaves me feeling guilty and just plain worthless I barely eat but it's important you eat even if it's only little and often other wise you'll make yourself poorly you need to go and see your gp if you haven't already get some real help talking is a massive part of the help but you will need the medication to help as well.

I hate leaving the house and being around people it's crazy main this is to realise your not alone if your in a room of people chances are several of them are experiencing the same as you!

If you ever need to talk I'm always here I know what your going through but see your go and get some medication and ask for some 121 counselling this helped me heaps and although I do struggle after trying to overdose this was the only thing to help me!

Hope I haven't bored you! Xx

Get yourself to the doctors tomorrow and take someone with you to explain. This could be some sort of depression related psychosis. That sounds a lot worse than it is but it is a red flag you could be very unwell. That's my advice.

Hi Emz,

There are quite a few problems highlighted here and as you may know; there is no one-cure-fits-all.

What meds are you taking?

I suggest starting a journal to write down in as much detail your thoughts and feelings. Pretty soon you will start seeing a pattern that can help you to identify what the under-lying issues are.

Can you elaborate on the guilt you are feeling and the out-of-character behavior?
