Which came first, anxiety or depression?

I once thought I only had anxiety but now I think it was depression that started this whole ordeal.

Wow, I never thought I would learn something from watching 'the housewives of beverly hills', but
on one show Kyle Richards was talking about after her mother died she thought there was something very wrong with her and the doctors told her a variety of things that it could be. She thought was sick and dying. One day she she an ad on TV saying 'depression hurts' and it was then that she realized that was what it was.

I feel deeply sad today.

Hi Tela,

Anxiety and depression can definitely be co-morbid.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling low right now...but there is good news.

The fact that you have recognized this challenge is a real breakthrough!

You can now work on the anxiety and depression simultaneously, which will help you to feel your best.

Are you currently employing either therapy or medication for management?

For me, talking...or especially writing things out helps me to discover, process and let out feelings I am not always even conscious of!

Journaling, Therapy Worksheets...and talking with us here are all great outlets...

...so check out the Resources for info on how to journal, and for the downloads for worksheets...

...and keep posting with us. :)

Great work with the therapy...keep up the fantastic efforts!
