So, I am not feeling very well. I do not have a cold, but I feel very warm. I was only able to get about 6 hours of sleep last night, 4 the night before, and 5 the night before that. I feel...
Well, since I last posted, things have not really improved with the way that I feel. However, I have made some progress in trying to apply for a new doctor (because my last doctor was not very...
Hi Wayupnorth. Thank you for the suggestion. There is a crisis line here. I will try that and ask them if I don't hear anything back soon. I will probubly go to the depression support group as well....
So, I have posted here a lot about the difficulties I have had with finding a doctor (as well as a psychiatrist/psychologist), and now I feel even more discouraged. I decided to try to call someone...
Thank you BnotAfraid. I'm going to try not to let the things they said affect me. It just makes me so upset because i've been in so many situations where i've felt judged, and not being able to see...
BnotAfraid, thank you for the suggestion. I try to eat as healthy as I can, and I recently started taking a multivitamin, which i'm hoping will help. Myself 09, I have been waiting for them to call...
I've been dealing with depression/anxiety/not feeling well for a few years now, and i'm 21 now. Dealing with what I have for such a long time has pretty much cost me everything- a social life, the...
So i've written a lot about a family member who has been causing me a lot of stress lately. I always feel kind of on edge no matter what, but whenever I am around them now I feel like I am going to...
Hi. I also post in the anxiety forum a lot, but am here every once in a while as well. I can relate to what you are saying. I have felt for years like everyone around me seems to always be better...
It sounds like you have a lot going on right now and that you are dealing with a lot of stress. I think it could help to see your GP. They can probubly give you some advice on what you can do about...
That is good that you found the inpatient program helpful, and that it was a positive experience for you and that you were able to get a diagnosis. I hope things continue to get better for you. I...
So, I have intrusive thoughts all of the time that seem to come from nowhere, for no reason. I don't purposely think negative things and have been really upset over this at times, but some of the...
I am always very tired, and have been for a few years now and just never feel very good, and for the past fewmonths I have not been feeling good at all, whether it be because of depression or anxiety...
Hi Fibromom1976, wow, I didn't know that there was a test like that for Hashimoto's. Thanks for the suggestion- I am going to keep trying to get tested for it so I know for sure. I found out that the...
This happens to me through out the year. I will be trying to convince myself that things are going to get better, and then suddenly I will have very low thoughts and feel like things are not going to...
Hello. Thank you both for the suggestions. I will probubly try to change my appearance slightly (I might just get a new hairstyle or something) just so that I feel a bit better about myself right...
I've probubly not been happy with the way I look for at least the past two or three years. I'm a 21 year old young woman, so I obviously especially want to feel good about myself and have people...
I haven't posted here for a while now (even though I am always depressed no matter what). I don't feel thereally serious depression that i've had a lot of the time before, more of a numb kind of...
Hello. Thank you both for your advice. Yes, it was pretty dysfunctional at times. My parents argued constantly for years before getting a divorce. I feel like I can relate a lot of what I went...
Hello. That is good your friend was able to make a full recovery. I have read that Hashimoto's is a generally very treatable disease (though it is life long) but diagnosing it is more difficult. I...
This is something I am planning to get tested for, because I have a lot of symptoms of it (even more than any anxiety or mood disorder). I posted a question about this not long ago on the Thyroid...
So i've written here before about how I have been very overhelmed living with one of my family members, and it has not been getting any better. I am 21 now and I do plan on moving out, but I am...
Hi everyone. Thanks for the birthday wishes and advice. My day was alright. I'm just going to try to focus on the future and on making my life better....
Hi. That is a very rude thing to say. I have had many people say things like this to me too. One time I was on a break at work and some guy who worked there as well came up to me and said , "why...
I just wanted to say thanks again for everyone who posted last week with advice for my school situation. I managed toalmost all (except one day that I missed unfortunately) of my classes. I've been...
Hi. Thank you for your suggestions. I am sorry to read of what you went through before being diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I also used to get unexplained migranes on and off for about a year a few...
Hi. I have almost all of the same symptoms you have as well, and I am also undiagnosed with a thyroid condition. I am going to try to get tested for Hashimoto's disease. I read that Antibody tests...
I am going to a walk in clinic tomorrow for a different test, but I thought while i'm there I might try to ask for a test for Hashimoto's disease, which is something I have been suspecting for a...
Hi. I am also waiting to see a psychiatrist. I was referred over a month ago, but they never gave me a specific time I have to wait for.It's very frustrating, especially when you feel like you're...
Hi. While I have not been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, I do have social anxiety and depression, so I can relate to struggling with both of these conditions. I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing...
Hi. Well, I personally have never been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (I don't have a diagnosis, but I have depression and anxiety symptoms) but I have the exact same problem with having no friends...
Hi everyone. Thank you all for your advice. I missed pretty much all of my classes this week, so i'm just going to try going next week. I sent an e-mail to the instructor of one of my classes...
Hi Kitt. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I think you are an inspiration for how you are helping others with their difficulties with anxiety (you're advice has helped me a lot), when...
I have derealization all of the time as well. I'm not really sure what to do about it. I feel like i'm walking around in a dream all of the time. I think it makes life so much less enjoyable, because...
So, I have missed about five days of one of my college/upgrading classes since starting them earlier last month.Two weeks ago I missed a class, last week I missed 2, and this week I missed...
The exact same thing happened to someone I know a few weeks ago, and they were very anxious about it, and had many fears around someone having access to their information, knowing who they are, etc....
Hi S.C. Thanks for the advice. Things are ok with my living situation, but still not very good. It's just very negative for the most part, so I might move out in a couple of months I think, at the...
I'm like this also. I have anxiety and depression, and my depression shows more, while I feel more anxious inside. I have derealization, so I feel like i'm going through the motions and like i'm in a...
Hi. Thank you S.C for the list of resources. In some way I know that I have time to turn things around and live a better life, but at the same time i'm depressed because I look back on my life over...
I've been noticing for a while now, but especially for the past year that I can't focus on anything and my concentration is very poor. I notice this especially when i'm studying. Tonight I was trying...
When I look back on my life over the past few years, I regret the decisions i've made and how it has been. I will be 21 in a couple of weeks, and even though I know that isn't very old, I feel like...
I feel this way sometimes, and it is really scary feeling, so I can definately relate, and also with thinking it could happen any minute or I even sometimes feel like I know when it will happen, even...
Hi stkitt. Thank you for the suggestions. That is a good idea to pick a day with special meaning to quit smoking. I am thinking of just picking a day within the next week to try to quit, and just...
Hello. I am also 20 and I feel worn out constantly also, and also have some issues with health anxiety. I think sometimes this can occur with anxiety and/or other mental health conditions. It is...
Hello. I have similar problems with breathing, and so I know how scary it is to feel like you can't breathe or aren't getting enough air. From what I have read, this is a common problem with anxiety...
Hello. Thank you both for the suggestions. I always feel off or not right in some way. I've been waiting a few weeks now to see a psychiatrist, so i'm still waiting to get a diagnosis. It's a weird...

So, I always feel like something is really wrong with me, but I don't know exactly what it is. I always have a feeling that something isn't quite right with me, like I have serious problems. Well, I...
So, I decided that over the weekend i'm going to try to quit smoking. I've been smoking for almost six years now (I started when I was 15 and i'm almost 21) and I smoke a pack a day. I have nicotine...
I haven't been feeling so great over the past few days. Over the summer I had mostly severe anxiety, and now Ihave both very bad anxiety and depression. I started school last week. I decided to sign...
