Is this anxiety or depression? I'm having anxious thoughts here and there but it's only this feeling that's bothering me I had it last time when I had a relapse but I had all the full blown symptoms. Does anyone get this? How do you make it go away?

I'm meditating taking seratonin and running also to help the feeling.
It does help. It started March 16 so it's been roughly 21 days at first it was all day then around 2 weeks later it started being maybe 4h in the evening.. I've had it maybe max for 2 weeks 8 months aho and it went away. But I'm worried if it presists I'll just start to get worse? Also, is it depression or anxiety.


I don't really have any issues or anything to be depressrd about I'm confused

Dog,

It sounds like situational depression due to your anxiety relapse....

...and while you don't need a reason to have depression, (it is about chemical balance, not just circumstances) anxiety can be the primary issue...with depression being the reaction/secondary result.

So contunuing to manage your anxiety, and getting back on track should see this problem phasing out soon.

It will happen...be patient with yourself and the process!

With encouragement,

Ugh, but SC that's the only symptom I've had. So does that mean now I just randomly developed depression

Aw,

No...that's not what I was trying to say. Don't worry...it is normal for anxiety to get us down temporarily. It is a constant struggle to manage, and we get tired and worn down...that's all.

Keep working on your anxiety management. If you find you continue to have difficulties with your mood...then talk with your doctor...but either way, you are going to be alright.smile

You are likely just having this isolated symptom because you are doing so much to reduce your overall anxiety...and that's a good thing!

Stay positive, you are making progress,

S.C.
