I feel like my Anxiety turned into depression. Is that possible?!

Posted , 3 users are following.

my family on both sides suffer really bad from Depression/Alcoholism.

No one on either side of my family have ever spoke about or begin to understand Anxiety. It is foreign to EVERYONE in my life. Always has been. So I never really felt I had depression but now I am over 30 and Severe Anxiety symptoms since I was three. I also went through a severe abusive relationship a few years ago I never dealt with. He haunts me in places I don't even notice anymore I've been surviving so long. I've Never been treated medically or with Therapy. I never want to leave my house yet I do. Now I'm just constantly sad that I have to leave. I live a VERY normal life. You would never know if you met me that I was suffering but that is what is killing me. it's easier to be alone than to be around people and feel EVEN MORE alone. I'm so tired of feeling fear and sadness as my main two thoughts for so long I can't even tell you, yet people probably think I am perfectly fine. (screams in pillow)

    sorry you are going through this. And yes, anxiety and depression very often go hand-in-hand. Some people don’t even realize that they are actually depressed along with being anxious.

    If you can get some support for this such as with a counselor that would be one of the best things you could do. It’s too difficult living with depression and not having any support .

    millions of people are in the exact same situation as you are so you’re definitely not alone in this.

    time to take care of you! Hope you feel better soon

    Yes, it is possible and it does sound like it. in any case, whether it's one thing or the other or both, the best thing you can do is to get help to feel better. For me the best thing for feeling better has been therapy and sport.

    Best of luck x
