Aw, you are in a bad way, so you need to do something about the situation.
Go to your GP and get help. No one should suffer like you.
It is not going backwards to get help in the form of medication, AD and Beta Blockers, a course in Mindfulness, CBT behaviour and counselling.

If your leg was broken you wouldn't just hop on one leg and put up with pain, would you?
Sometimes the feeling is so bad, you have no choice but to get help. It is not a backward step. It has probably taken a long time for you to feel like you feel, so to get better takes longer as well.
There are millions of people who suffer from anxiety and depression. In fact some of the most interesting and creative people on earth have been depressives. So you are in good company charley me and you and another billion.!
Chin up, it does get better. Hugs xxx

I try and think moods are like the weather. I use this for my depression, anxiety and a serious illness which I have. I think the pain will float off like the clouds do and I will see the sun again. Its not easy but I try to think its ok I am feeling really down right now I have felt better before and I will again I just need to try and relax and get through it. Easier said than done but its a strategy.

Crying can be good, don't fight it, sob, scream, whatever you need to do to release the pain and tension thats inside.

I know what you mean. I was so stressed by something last night that I didn't get to sleep until after 3, so in a minute, I'm going back to bed.

Hope you find some peace of mind. I'm telling myself 'this too will pass - it always does'.

Thank you both for ur perspective on this cos I ain't got any when I'm in this state and don't know why it feels so bad when it happens I'm having a tough couple of days and feel very alone with it all but hoping it will get better as it has before .

charley you may feel alone but you are far from it. There are millions of us. We are so sensitive, almost too sensitive to be alive.

Depression and anxiety has dogged me all my life. However I have managed to have a good productive time and I generally feel happy ( I have a lot to be happy about)
If I get too anxious I take Beta Blockers. They seem to steady me. I also take note of situations that are going to make me especially anxious and try not to go there.

It's so good to hear I'm not on my own I feel it wen in the midst of it I'm gonna ring doc about beta blockers and hope they help it's the emotional distress I can't handle i have no motivation wen I'm like this either and feel so guilty for dd I try and hide it from her tho it's so hard I def think hormones have a lot to do with it but I'm trying not to think about the whys and should so just feel the way I feel at this moment in time and pray it will pass xx

I know, I've been so good recently but had lots of wine last night to celebrate a friend's engagement and as a result I feel awful today. Not hungover just like I can't fave the world. I'm in bed with baby dd watching crap tv. I'm telling myself this is ok as I managed to get out yesterday and one day to 'indulge' in hibernation may be enough to help me face things tomorrow with a fresh perspective. Be kind to yourself.

charley30 · 07/10/2015 15:31
