My first post and just here to seek for some type of relief. For the last couple weeks i've had the nervous knot in stomach. Extreme thoughts of the worse thing that can happen. Feeling like a failure. Depression and feeling just stuck. Today was the worse bc with each step I made I felt like I was going to melt down. Currently im laying down typing. No urge for anything more. The fact that i can't get up sets in the failure mindset.
I am under a considerable amount of stress within this year- death work relationship family etc. everytime i feel like im on track i feel 10 steps backwards.
I was previously dignosed with a mood disorder and prescribed meds. I take them in instances like now but not on a regular as I should. Being honest. Im partly scared of being addicted and im scared of thinking that i cant be happy and not nervous 85 % of the time with out it being natural.
I feel like im rambling and i will probably be critized on this post but im honestly all over the place. Mind is really all over the place and Know one understands and it is sometimes embarrasing to explain.
Does anyone know or have experienced anything that I've expresed?
Talk to your GP regards medication and the side effects you may be suffering from there ma be something different that could help you with your mood. I find if I perform my Relaxation Techniques, you could try Mindfulness Relaxation Technique and that may help Talk to your GP. You could also try Breathing Exercises.

I think all of us here have felt the same way you do at one point or another!! Its hard dealing with mental issues on top of regular problems. I would discuss with your doctor about 1. Getting new meds and actually using them.. Many are completely non addictive. As long as your doctor isn't prescribing you benzos on a daily basis, I think your chance of becoming addicted is extremely low.. 2. Ask for a referral to a therapist/counselor.
I get it's awkward and embarassing to talk about sometimes, especially when people don't quite understand it. But at the same time, they don't know how you truly feel and don't know how to help you if you don't speak up about it! Hope you begin to feel a little better today. What kind of things do you like to do?
Hi, Girlyn:
Honey, I can relate to everything you are saying. I will never criticize you for the anxiety you are feeling. I live in the USA, and it seems like from the moment I was born I developed unusual anxiety. I used to worry about everything when I went to school. I was afraid my mom and dad would die and my sistser and I would be orphans...when I got into Jr. High School..(now called Middle School) I developed an eating disorder...after graduating high school, I developed a terrible depression problem and then panic attacks...Now, believe it or not, I'm 68 yrs. old, and after seeing the best doctors in this area, I still chew my fingernails off, bite my fingers, pick at my ears...stomach problems, low back pain, and fibromylgia...I pray every day that God will take this terrible pain away from me.
Please get some help before you get any older. I assume you are young, but anxiety and depression have a mind of their own and will take over your life. See the best doctors and get on the right medication. I have my good days and my bad ones, too...Anxiety is not to be laughed off as something that you can blow away with the wind...No matter what anyone tells you...Please see a good doctor...God bless you, sweetie...Message me if you need to talk....
