Heya guys I was recently told that anxiety and depression are very closely linked by my doctor. I was also aware that for some people they have a chemical imbalance that causes them to be depressed that they cannot fix without medication. Is this possible with anxiety as well and if so is medication the only answer to take away that anxiety which is caused by something physical and not mental.

m to hard on myself even on exams , driving, taking a plane i feel nervous and thinking of the worst outcome that could happen feeding my self with anxiety ,depression and traumatizing myself when there is nothing to be scared of. Anyways i would like to have an opinion on what you guys think about this thanks!!

Since last week when my 7 months anxiety and depression started to affect my relationship, I have found it hard to lvoe my girlfriend. I was wondering, does anxiety make you feel unloving or hard to love someone? Because I had a negative thought over my girlfriends body and it sent me into anxiety and depression. Now after that thought, it has seemed to have made it hard to love her even though deep down I love her! Is there anyone who has overcome this problem and got their love back?

Hi i have depression in anxiety in i use to take meds for it but i stopped cause i didnt like the side effects. I was wondering will my depression in anxiety go away without meds in therapy .

Have you ever done therapy, or just relied on medication? Remember, the drugs don't cure you, they just work on your symptoms, so they don't eliminate the need to find a good therapist. If therapy works, and there's not guarantee about that, you might learn to think differently. Good luck.

Are you taking anything right now for your anxiety? Many of the antidepressants help both anxiety and depression.

They are made to reduce Both anxiety and depression. Once they are controlled, perhaps you can participate in the exposure therapy with less discomfort and more success. Then your brain can see the success you're having, and it becomes accustomed to experiencing previously anxiety-producing stimuli, without the panic reaction. Then the stimuli is no longer powerful, and if you like, with a toolbox full of coping skills from a competent therapist, you can titrate down the medication.

Could be JUST anxiety....bit maybe thats enough....anxiety/depression is a very complex condition and it can cause other symptoms to arise....try to quiet the body with some medication and I am a Christian who believes its always important to pray as well. Also make sure you have trusted loved ones who have your back. You will need help but you WILL overcome!

I know the depression and anxiety is not helping my body. It was over a year before I could even take a shower by myself and it is still hard even with the bath chair. I have no to little contact with the outside world and when I do leave my home it is usually to the doctors or to the store which I hate. Just the thought of having to get up and ride sometimes is unbearable.

I am a very extremely happy person, i mean i am always smiling or laughing. Though lately i feel as if the happier i get the harder i fall. For example if i have had a really good week or even day i will have REALLY crap days and i just feel as if to say whats the point? I am not suicidal i can't stress that enough but i feel as if i want to curl up into a ball and not surface for a good few days. The tiniest things will upset me and knock me down aswell.

Sorry you are going through such a hard time right now. Do you have any idea what is causing your depression? I noticed that you titled your post HIV...are you HIV+ or are you afraid that you might be? I only ask becasue if you are afraid that you might be the best thing to do is go get tested. This way you would know one way or another and you could save yourself alot of worry. Depression is hard to deal with but you can overcome it. I would suggest that you see a psychatrist.

what is the best way to overcome depression I take meds but seem to help some but need other methods too.

Depression is probably the major cause of anxiety, but primary anxiety can also cause depression. One of the reasons anxiety therapy fails so often is the person is more depressed than anxious and therefore lacks the motivations to do what's required to overcome the anxiety. As for overmedication, what are you taking?

This is such a challenge to overcome anxiety, isn't it? The issues with flying presumably Isn't that often unless you have to fly frequently. But the HIV fears are problematic. Having sex is kind of part of life and our health anxiety disrupting that is sad. I have become more and more convinced that we need to aggressively treat anxiety when it begins to impact us regularly.

What makes you anxious, and have you tried to overcome it in the past? Anxiety and depression feed off each other and when it gets bad it can be difficult to figure which is the primary problem.

To answer these questions, we have to look at anxiety and depression a little more closely. Many times, depression is mixed with anxiety. Studies show that depression and anxiety go hand in hand in about sixty percent of cases. Some depressed individuals feel restless and agitated. Restlessness and agitation, which are really signs of heightened activity and excitement, might in fact be caused by anxiety accompanying the depression.

I was on an anti depressant that got rid of depression and anxiety, but since stopping a year ago anxiety has crept slowly back. I do so want to try and manage without medication. I think it depends how severe your anxiety is. I keep myself occupied as best I can as my anxiety is caused by loneliness. I know what my problem is, so can face it, and try to deal with it. I understand you do not want to take pills if you can avoid it, but if you feel you can cope, see how you go.

I have always struggled with depression and anxiety! Lately I have been like over emotional, my fiancé thinks I'm going insane! I cry a lot and complain about things that i never used to!

Experience anxiety/depression?

and my second question is ..

I suffer from general high anxiety as well with slight depression. This all recently came to light and I am sure it is the reason for me abusing oxycodone, hydro, etc. It did make me feel like everything was a okay but soon that feeling faded and I was more nervous than ever. You have to deal with your depression and anxiety, this is probably the reason for you using/abusing drugs. You say you are on zoloft, did you feel it is working for you?
