My Anxiety and depression have always gone hand In hand . One day I might feel more anxious than others and the other days I might feel more depressed . I hate to say that I feel like my anxiety and depression are certainly ruling my life . I have a fear that nothing will work out in my favor, I start questioning my own sanity and everything around me. External factors also don't make things easier . I question life , I question my relationship , I question myself , basically everything is a "what if" scenario . Recently I've found it hard to think long term . My goals seem so far away I never believe when people call me "pretty" . I can never seem to take any compliments seriously . It's like I constantly have that inner voice calling me nasty names 😥I feel like I'll always feel this grey cloud over my head . My depression makes me feel like I'm a bad person to the people I love and care about . I feel like my thoughts convince me easily of things that aren't true . But mostly it targets my relationship idk what to do anymore , I just don't want to feel alone anymore ...😰Any input would really be appreciated 😰
Im am throwing you an huge air hug thru the internet. I can cery well hear your depression shining thru. Are you in therapy? You seriously need to be in therapy. Clinical depression can cast a huge cloudy shadow over everything making it rough to even tackle the whole anxiety range. Yes they can and do go together. I dont believe they always co exist some people have different reason for having anxiety in the first place. Your is evident here that they co exist. I do not feel you can fix all this by yourself nor should you have to. Are you being treated for this by a doctor? What is the plan here?
I'm currently seeing a new therapist ! Last Wednesday was my first visit , but everyday seems to get harder and harder , almost to the point were nothing makes me happy anymore
I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve happiness. I try to tell myself that life could be worse. Depression and anxiety are hard to deal with. Just know you are not alone.
Thanks so much , it's very true depression makes me feel like I don't deserve happiness to , but we have to remember that we're worth so much more than our thoughts
Exactly! Just because we think it, it doesn't mean it's true although our minds are powerful. I find myself comparing myself to other people. I am over weight so I struggle with self worth. I look at thin women and think they must be so happy and life must be so much easier.... Much more comfortable etc.... Then I get stressed which triggers my anxiety. Ugh! Life is tough.
I'm so sorry that your feeling that way! . It's so hard to have a happy relationship with bad thoughts getting in the way of self love
It could be worse.... Right? I can see, walk, hear, I am not living in poverty, I have a good job, great kids etc..... I hope you can find happiness! We all deserve it!
