I suffer from bipolar disorder, so I'm vulnerable to the sways of anxiety and depression.

Anxiety I suffered from a bit when I was a kid but depression, well, I've learned to live with it.

Bit of both. Never a serious case to be diagnosed but I realise how worse I was before I moved away (issues at home/ lifestyle change/ new town).

Depression I've learn't to live with, I still have pretty low confidence and self esteem but I am much better than I was. My mum goes on about wishing I lived closer to her/ back at home butfor several reasons I could not go back, I realise just how unhappy I really was with some issues at home I can't cope with.
I only have a couple of very bad bursts now and again but nothing like my teens-early 20's.

Anxiety has become a bit of an issue, I was in trouble a month into my new job as it stopped me from improving and moving forward. Once I realised this I got better and have gone on to do quite well.
I do allow myself to worry alot about pretty much everything (I could never act as a host with people over, I panic inside the idea about calling people on the phone etc). It doesn't cripple me but it can be very annoying for me and I guess those who know me.

I think we all have one time or another. Such is the stresses of the modern life.
"Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end."

Earl Douglas Haig, Order to the British Army, 12 April 1918

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Suffered from both, particularly depression atm. It's rubbish, but I'd rather it was me than someone else.

I suffer with depression and very mild anxiety. I have been on and off medication and counselling since I was in year 10.
Since being married and finding out we're having a baby, it's not been too bad :-)

Yeah constantly sadly.

Whats both a blessing/curse is I dont have the luxury of indulging it. So I just kinda "suck it up" these days.

most people suffer from both of these at some point in their life, it's just a natural state you fall into / deal with. i've certainly suffered from both, and deal with anxiety on a daily basis. depression comes and goes, but it's been here several times in my life.

Yeah, it's something we all experience/cope/adapt with in our own ways

i haven't been clinically diagnosed or anything but i would say i suffer from anxiety. there are times I feel like i can't even make a phone call. if i get too nervous or anxious i get horrible stomach aches. ive only ever had one panic attack, which I'm thankful for because it was really scary. i may have slight depression but i think that may be more related to my period in my case.

I've been told I showed signs of both, but I was never told if I ever had any official diagnosis.
All I know is I'm on some meds right now that tends to be used for both. And lemme tell you, that's made a difference that all the "just think positive!" or "it gets better!" in the world couldn't.

It sounds like you guys need a hug, :( . I get what you mean with that, Padfoot... It wouldn't feel fair if I could transfer it to someone else, so I wouldn't do it even if I could.

I know that feeling, :/ . I can't use phones at all unless i'm talking to someone in my immediate family.

A lot of the time, the "it gets better" stuff is said without giving thought to what the particular person they're talking to is going through or what their life/situation is, etc. But, i'm glad that the pills have been helping, :)
