Have you ever suffered from anxiety and/or depression?

[Rad5002]

I've got both and I've had them for a few years, since around 11? (20 now)

I've been lucky in more recent years I've become better at controlling them which is useful for the job I hope to do in September aha.

Yep, suffered from depression for a long while now, even had a nervous breakdown 3 years ago.
Things have gotten better and I'm moving forward slowly.

[Morty from Dimension C137]

I recently just stopped smoking pot. But I used it to mask my emotions instead of dealing with them like an adult. But I'd say I'm better off now. Haha

When nobody understands your depression, it's the worst feeling ever.

What you do is this, Live. You know that you have a friend in all of us and if you have any problems put it in this thread and im sure me or someone else will help you work it out and see you through the good side. I have Depression, anxiety and dyslexia ( Yes it can affect all of it) and it's really hard half the time, I've self-harmed before, not attention just to know if things are okayy. It will be really hard and only knowing that you have it now will be extra but you need to think that it's a label not the end of the world. I think thats what gets most people down even more is that its a 'thing' you have lived on this planet for about 20+ years, you have done fine till now, you wasn't worrying about them at all, just making ways to tackle the unknown as you go.

Chin up you have all of us we are your friends

I do suffer from some degree of anxiety, I wouldn't say I have ever suffered from depression, but do find quite a lot I am not happy, which isn't the same thing.

[ALITA]

I have depression and other mental health problems
I also lost my step dad to suicide 5 years ago ...nothing prepares you for something like that
it devastated my family ...its hurts even after 5 years...
my step dad raised me since the age of 3
I have been so depressed sometimes that i have felt like killing myself and i have self injured since my step dad died
the fact am not dead now is because of my husband he has to lock my medication in a money box he has to hide the keys so i dont kill myself and i cant have money as i have bought things to hurt myself with
I have other mental health problems as well that stop me from working and my husband got to be at home to take care of me as i cant be left on my own ... i cant travel on my own with out my husband without my husband me and my husband been togther for 10 ( am going to pride next saturday with my husband with me the lAST TIME WAS 11 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS WELL ENOOUGHT TO GO ) MY MENTAL HEALTH HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE MY HUSBAND BEEN UP HERE( He from Oxford ) my husband has never been to pride before ( it the last time went i was a lesbian but then i met my husband )and now am trans

I cant give a lot of advice on depression, I have and do suffer from it but I take things one day at a time and find it better not to dwell on things you cant control.
Life can change just like that, so enjoy life for what it is and remember that even though there are bad times, there are good ones too

Apologies for re opening the Thread.
A abridged version of what happened to me

3 years ago due to some rumors being said caused by a ex group of mates and my ex girlfriend during a low point in my life (no job, and problems at home) I had a nervous breakdown. Things went so over the top that details from my life got spilled on the cesspool of the internet which made completely off the wall since everyone in Irish cons saw it. Eventually I fought my way back to being normal again and even better over time . I still suffer anxiety but its maintainable . My advice is never give up and continue improving yourself. My goal is try to make enough connections and be happy with myself and my job.

[lyokosa80]

Thanks team

Really means alot .
Just have a cased dropped too which im not going into details but it's really made me think about who to trust . Anyone have any advice of how to deal with a oppo death .I'm in the military which I'm at risk of posting that but yet I feel it needs to be said . I'm getting better thou but reconnecting now with my _-_--Wife .that's if . and finding the courage to see my 7 moths old twins girls

I think everyone comes across dealing with anxiety and depression as a human being that's never satisfied. So at some stage I think we all do.

Personally from bullying I have dealt with anxiety and still do with new changes or environments that make me nervous. I don't so much can safely say I do not suffer with depression as much more and managed away to deal with it and manage it. I think there is different depth's to depression. I was depressed for a few years before I managed to get back on the horse.

I have and have had both ever since I was a little kid. I've never been able to gain any kind of control over them, unfortunately, so, since pills are the only thing left, I'm seeing a psychiatrist and have been ever since I was little. I don't know what it's like to not be on pills. I'm 29 right now with no progress as far as my anxiety and depression go. Sad, isn't it?

[Shiro89]

I've been ''suffering'' from depression, for quite a few years, since I was roughly 16-17, and now I'll soon be 29. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it gets worse, but thankfully I manage to hang in there. I thought at one point I got ''cured'' of it, after getting into a relationship with my ex, then she recently broke up with me...and now gotta deal with all those ''lovely'' feelings all again. It's not nice...and speaking to psychiatrist most of the time doesn't help. I studied psychology, and I know what I would be told. It's not gonna make me feel any less lonely or abandoned.

But again...it just comes and goes in waves...some days you feel...''normal'', sometimes you don't see a reason why to even get out of your bed. I'm sure sooner or later, I'll manage to beat this, state that I am in.

Iv had anxiety and depression since childhood I just didn't know back then it's only when I was 12-14 I started to notice them and feel like something was,seriously wrong with me. I found out what I had by researching online and was diagnosed at my doctors. I was offered medication I declined it. I started to have panic attacks and learned that was the anxiety as well. I have general anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder as well as depression and the panic attacks still. I found out thw cause of my anxiety and depression was due to my abusive father I blocked out my childhood so there is alot I don't ont remember and can't remember. I am in therapy trying to work from all my issues. I'm 25 now but I have alot to sort out.
