 I could really use some help.  I am going through a low phase right now.  I some times don't know how I can keep this up.  I am tired of feeling so uncomfortable with myself, so insecure and so stupid.  I wish that I could wake up one day and just be normal.  I don't want to care what any body else thinks any more.  I have bad feelings toward everyone and I can't stand my self.  I have such bad anxiety over every thing this week.  I am so depressed. I just need to hang on until this passes.

Sorry to be negative, I usually try to be soo positive.

Dear BethAnne, you will be in my prayers. Hang in there and remember "normal is just a setting on the dryer." :) Have you tried cognitive therapy? I'm so sorry that you are depressed. I'm there with you. Just take one day at a time and try not to be so hard on yourself, okay?

Thank you soo much for your replies.  I woke up feeling a little better this morning. I seem to go in cycles with this.  I just call them phases, high and low.  They both can last for days or even weeks/months.  Of course the low lasts a lot longer than the high. I always have anxiety, but when I am going through a good phase I seem to have it under control.  Meaning I can self talk to calm down or exercise and it will subside. My low phase I can try to self talk all I want, I have no motivation and my negative thoughts just take over.  My depression is bad when I can't control the anxiety. 

Do any of you experience your levels of anxiety and depression going up and down like this?

Yes I do all the time and I am tring to get it under control but it is hard to do
My high's are really high and lows are the lowest as I already posted
This last one had hubby and daughter wanting to take me to hospital thats how badly I scared them
NEVER will I allow that again
Am seeing the doc today to talk about
this and other health problems I have been struggling with .........
Take care please

Beth- I'm in a "low phase" right now too- wish someone would just wave a magic wand and help me out of it :-) ! But remember that after a low phase always comes a high one, so hang in there!!
