down and depressed

Posted , 3 users are following.

I find my self worrying about everyone in my family and my self thinking about our health and it's making me feel so down and depressed . I don't leave my home or to go anywhere by my self, I don't have no energy .. All I need is someone to assure me that I'm not alone because no one in my family understand the way I'm feeling ..

    Your definitely not alone, I'm guessing no one in your family has experienced excessive worrying hence why they don't understand. Folk who haven't been through depression or anxiety cannot relate to the distress thats why folk say can you not snap out if it..... My reply usually "Erm no, do you think I enjoy being like this".

    Talk to a heakth professional who will help you through it, you can and will get better.

      Thank you . I am seeking help from a therapist, but I'm having trouble taking public transportation and that's keeping from going there.

    No you are definitely not alone.  I think people who have not experienced depression and anxiety do not understand how it takes everything away from us.  People do find it difficult, but I am here to reassure you.  I have had depression and anxiety for years.  Have you been diagnosed with depression?

    Are you on any medication at all Reshma? Talking and therapy is very very useful in it's own right but if your struggling to get there due to your anxiety its only a part of what should be a treatment package.

      I have the medication Paxil, but I'm not using it I'm trying to do it without medication.
