It's like I spend all my time down on myself because of my anxiety. Even when I appear happy I'm not. I will cry at the drop of a dime. Literally the smallest issue can cause a full blown downward spiral where I feel like nothing ever works, nothing will get better, and why is this all happening to me. I'm just not happy anymore and I'm always just so tired. All I ever want to do is lay in bed and eat and sleep. This isnt me at all. I was always the fun one that people loved to be around.. What is going on? :(

Welcome Katie,

The first thing you need to do is go to your doctor get a diagnosis. That will help a lot. Let you understand what you are dealing with.

Depression and anxiety do go hand in hand, it hard to say if you have depression. It could be that your anxiety is just keeping you in a "safe place";the crying could be from fear and not from depression, do you see how hard it is?

Please check out our resources page at the top of the DEPRESSION thread. It has lots of links to "copings skills" that I think will help you in your daily struggle people with anxiety use them also.

Please keep posting and lets us know what your doctor says. we support and listen the best we can.


Peace
Trina
