What's wrong with me?

Hi,
I have been going through spells of extreme depression for as long as I can remember but up until now I was able to cope by singing or performing. Now that I have kids and a very controlling husband, my depression has turned into anger. I feel so worthless and down. The other day I got so angry that I ran out of my job and haven't been back since.....I get sooo anxious when I even think about it. Mg whole body hurts, I have blurred vision, I can't smell or taste a thing. I can't concentrate or remember to do anything because my anxiety always has my mind on a deadline that I always miss, not to mention my over due bills and broken promises when I had the money and the time but was to anxious to make the call..... Please help I can't do this anymore!

Hi L.M. and welcome,

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this rough time currently. :(

What if anything have you tried in the past for relief of the anxiety/depression/anger?

Hopefully, you can explain that you have been going through some personal things that you are now seeking to work through...and patch things up at work.

Since you have insurance, you can certainly take advantage of that to seek help in the form of therapy. You can also discuss other treatment options with your doctor for the depression issues is necessary.

I would encourage you to stand up for YOU no matter what your husband thinks of your getting help for yourself. This is your life and health...and only you can advocate for it!

In the meantime, you can check out our Resources on the main page here (1st post) In there you will find many self-help ideas to get you started toward lowering your anxiety and feeling better.

Use the breathing and progressive muscle relaxation as well as the meditation to help you achieve some inner calm.

Keep posting here with us as well. Having a support group is really helpful. We are here to understand and listen anytime.:)

That is so not true...and the really bad days just happen. They are not all going to be this way.

Sometimes when we are feeling down and helpless, a day such as New Year's Eve just doesn't seem worth celebrating...it can be a challenge.

So don't fake it...let your family know that you just need to be surrounded by support tonight...it is not too late!!

Reach out, and let the people who you love...love on you!! :)

We care about you...you are a part of this group now as well...so you are not alone, ever.

Please give your family a call, and get some encouragement to get you through this evening, okay?

XOXOXOXO
