Hi all,

I have been battling the anxiety since I was young, it use to not be so bad, Now it affects me constantly, What can I do about it? I'm also on the autism spectrum.

I feel like no one has the time to talk to me, It makes me feel worse and worse and now I am at the point where I am going nuts, Please give me advice with how to help me.

I always feel like I have to battle my depression alone, I feel like there is nobody here for me, Please make me feel like people are here for me, I am sorry to post something like this, but I need to get much more help now than ever before in my life with battling with my depression now.

I feel like I am losing friends, I feel like a failure, I really do not want to feel this way anymore, I feel like people are losing trust in me and not caring for me as much. Every Day I feel like I want to cry, I feel like my life is falling apart.

Do any of you guys have the same experience as me? If you have any advice for me please let me know, Anyways, I am pretty depressed right now actually, That was my point of writing this, But anyways take care.

Hello and welcome,

I am sorry that you are feeling so lonely. I do understand that feeling. I have been dealing with depression my whole life and anxiety since 2013. The best part of all of this mess is it does get better and you are very much not alone.

We have awesome self help tools in our resources page to help with anxiety coping skills. I would recommend checking those out.

We also have a depression forum that is full of people that are in the same boat as we are. I am on this forum and the depression as well.

I would also recommend seeking a counselor to help you to deal with your depression/anxiety. This helps a lot as well. Also you may need an antidepressant to help with anxiety and depression.

Please keep us updated as we do care and we are all here for eachother.

Hi MM and welcome!

I am so sorry to hear of the rough time you are going through lately. sad We understand how that feels...so know that you have done an amazing job reaching out to a group that will be here to support you!

It's important to remember that things won't always be so difficult. Your reaching out could be the start of a real turn around for you and how you feel. smile

Anxiety and depression can make us feel so isolated...and puts a negative filter on so much that we perceive. Make sure and try to make lists of the positives about yourself and your life. I can tell from your post that you are an intelligent, sensitive and courageous person...just from what you wrote above! smile

What does your current anxiety management plan look like? Are you taking an Rx, are you in therapy? How about your self help practices?

Seeking to form a regimen from any/or all of the above should be a goal...or continued effort.

Talking to your doctor about meds or therapy...or checking out our self help at the top of the main forum page here (Resources) will be beneficial steps!

Keep talking to us as well. We do understand, care and support is key!

Looking forward to getting to know you better. smile

S.C.

What does your current

I get where your coming from believe me your not alone in this. Depression and anxiety are very treatable. I had it bad when I was 18 till about 20 and it went away for 20 years. But now its back for whatever reason. Some I know and some I dont. Depression makes you feel alone but you have to have faith that one day you will be better. What age are you? Your age plays a roll too because of life experiences at times when your younger its harder.

If you have the money and time there are several good books you can get on amazon or kindle that will defiently help you out? Especially if you cant afford therapy.

You may feel alone right now and maybe you are. But you have a long life ahead. You have the power to change it. Good part you can start today.
