Avatar f tn What have you done to treat the depression and anxiety? You need to be in treatment and if you are contemplating taking your own life and losing your will to live, this is very very serious. Do you see a psychiatrist??
Avatar f tn She tends to ease My anxiety and depression. But husband is my rock and helps so much, never makes me feel bad for the way I feel and always helps and comforts me. Hope you ladies can find the same or a way to help cope with this awful feeling.
Avatar f tn The past 16 years I`ve been taking Paxil and have been able to cope with the depression and anxiety. I can tell you that eating the right healthy foods and getting a LOT of sunlight will help. I know it sounds strange but do you eat a lot of fast food? A LOT of food we eat has a chemical called MSG in it. It has been causing a lot of problems in people. Many people are very sensitive to preservatives in food which can cause depression,anxiety, insomnia, and pain throughout your body.
Avatar n tn Hi. I dated a guy for 2 years who had anxiety and depression (I thought he had a pretty severe case). The problem with our relationship was that the guy did not "explain" what he was experiencing (he prefered not to get into that) and expected me to understand what he was going through. Just b/c you have anxiety/depression doesn't mean you shouldn't be dating...
Avatar n tn I have been on various forms of different anti-depressants which also help some anxiety. The longest medication I was on was Effexor XR for maybe 8 years. Over that time I developed an alcohol problem. Since then I quit alcohol without a problem, however, I am currently in the midst of a major depressive episode due to a break up of a relationship. I went off Effexor 6 months ago and my doctor put me on 150 mg of the Zoloft generic and also started me on Wellbutrin generic.
Avatar f tn Does she have a good working relationship with them? For me, the most important step I took in getting through my anxiety and depression was finding a good therapist. For me, it was a psychologist that took the time to talk to me and listen to my problems. Getting to the root cause of our depression and anxiety can open doors into confronting them in my opinion.
Avatar f tn you really need to let your doctor know about this. She/he will probably want to put you on meds if you are not on them right now or change your meds if you are. You might want to see a councilor too. It may help. Have you sat down to talk to your spouce about this?
Avatar n tn I'm 14 and I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression for about a year. I've self harmed twice successfully and the past year has been a nightmare. I recently had a relationship with a guy and had a very messy breakup last month. I know I probably sound extremely immature and stupid, but just hear me out. I was doing really bad at the time.
Avatar f tn Every relationship is different, and it's difficult to give advice/suggestions about relationships when you don't know the person. However, I would say that all you can do is be there as a shoulder to cry on, a person to listen, and other than that, let it work itself out.
Avatar f tn I struggled really bad when I was pregnant. There were a few times I had full blown sobbing panic attacks and I was convinced I was going to go into labor early and kill my baby. My daughter is now 17 months old and perfect. To be completely honest, I was in a very bad relationship and in a very bad situation. I didn't begin to feel better until I left my ex when our daughter was 5 months old. I don't know your situation but think about your life.
12742885 tn?1427016324 Started to write a diary and started to make changes in mylife. I stopped this wedding and relationship, which was too much for me, and was killing me softly and causing all of these anxieties. I have been having nightmares about the future of this relationship, and frankly it only caused fear, chest pain, heart pain and numerous headaches.
Avatar m tn So getting over this will be a great help to you and your relationship. You do exhibit signs of anxiety and hopefully the therapy will ease this, if not you may need an anti-anxiety medication to help you get thru this time. It's best to see a psychiatrist regarding medication as they are the most knowlegable as to what will work best for you. A therapist can teach you relaxation techniques as well which can be very beneficial.
Avatar m tn Has anyone ever taken Tofranil PM or Anafranil for anxiety / panic and it worked my dr just told me start lowering my dose of prozac since its not doing anything and when i see her in 2 weeks we are going to discuss other options and other classes of meds like TCA 's SNRI's ect since SSRI's arent doing anything. I was on Tofranil before for post partum depression and anxiety panic and it worked great.
Avatar m tn I'm 19 years old and I've been dating a depressed man for over a year. His depression only became apperent about 6 months into our relationship when he attemped suicide multiple times. When he began attempting suicide, I also began taking birth control. Since then I've noticed a major change in my moods. I find myself crying for no apperent reason for hours. I worry constantly about things which have no meaning.
6531549 tn?1382153290 My moms side of the family and my dads have struggled with severe anxiety and depression and it led to my dads addiction to alcohol, so I've come to believe that it's genetic.
Avatar f tn d really start is by addressing your depression, eating disorders and anxiety. This is at the core of your inability to move past this and your dependence on others. If you address that, you may get excited about the prospect of starting college and all the adventures you will have there. Losing hope is a symptom of depression. Worry is a symptom of depression and anxiety.

8264857 tn?1402099133 I understand. I'm 10wks. I don't have ptsd but I have anxiety and depression due to loss of family members. I totally think you are doing the right thing. Counseling and medication is what you need to be stable your baby. Just let the others talk. They don't matter only you and your Lil one do.
Avatar m tn When im really depressed or freaking out i often question our relationship and wonder if were really in love. Trust me, Anxiety and depression can make a relationship difficult, but as long as you know you love her deep down you will make it through this. Anxiety and Depression take over your life. Dont let it take over your love too. Once it starts taking a toll on that its hard to change it.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend and I have been together since we were in 9th grade (5 years this year). We've had our ups and downs, but have always pulled through. I believe that our love is true. I am starting to fear that my anxiety might tear us apart. I have a lot of loved ones in my life and have had depression and still have anxiety issues. I'm not sure where to begin so I will use last night as an example.
Avatar n tn t feel it, I am getting discouraged. Anxiety is up and dow, and depression strikes sometimes. One day is very good, other slow, tired no emotions, pessimistic, and the worst questioning myself all the time. Do you guys have something like that or it's just me? How to live with something like that?

1390847 tn?1344657468 I have severe anxiety and depression disorder and i have had it for many many years now. I also have the best boyfriend any girl could ask for, but im realizing that the severety of my anxiety and depression is really hurting us. I have major mood swings...one minute ill be happy and the next im crying and swearing and upset with the world...my boyfriend always was there for me..supporting me when i had anxiety and helping cheer me up when i got depressed.
Avatar f tn I had a good experience when overcoming anxiety and depression with an SSRI. It this is something that plagues you daily, it may be worth talking to your doctor about what all the different ways to overcome this could be for you. The important thing is for you to get on with your life! Do you exercise by the way? I have found that to be very helpful in controlling anxiety. I think it is an important part of things. Anyway, there IS help out there, do not be afraid to get it.
Avatar f tn But if you do have depression and anxiety and not just thoughts of life being confusing and difficult, which it actually is, then it might be time to see a therapist to talk it out. As for sexuality, that will take care of itself, but when you say a relationship was "perfect," well, was it really perfect? Or just good? Perfect doesn't really exist. Peace.
