Any advice for someone with depression, anxiety and a panic disorder?

[that-redhead-girl]

I am desperate. I have been having anxiety since I was little and I have been depressed for the longest time. I seem to have a bad effect on people that I care about, like my relationship and how I get along with people. one moment I am happy and the next I am crying and I am tired of it. Some days are worse than others, but lately I have been wicked sad and feeling like I'm gonna cry all the time. I can't get happy and I need some help.

am I the only one who feels like this? Nobody else understands how I feel and it kills me every day. please someone help me. let me know I am not alone.

I guess that I wanted to ask because I live in a town where not a lot of people are open to mental disorders and I always feel alone. it feels very nice to know that others out there care (I haven't been open to the Internet in a long time after a bad incident)

You won't be the only one I was very bad with that kind of thing a few years ago, now i'm only left with immense social anxiety. All I can say is that knowing that things can be better is what got me through a lot of things, looking back on my depression i'm glad I never did anything 'stupid' because although it was one of the lowest times in my life i've actually went through worse and have since had some great experiences which i'd not change for anything, so for me it has been worth it.

First an foremost, go to a doctor and get a comprehensive blood work done. Depression and anxiety can often be a SYMPTOM of an underlying deficiency. My depression was due to low vitamin d levels (never went out in the sun) and dehydration.

that could be. Growing up I had a problem with eating and I never really got the right amount of vitamins that I should have been.

Learning to relax, which isn't as easy as it sounds, can help to relieve some of this stress and tension, and may also help you to deal more effectively with your panic attacks when they occur.

Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, will help you to manage stress levels, release tension, improve your mood and boost confidence.

Good luck.

You are not alone sis, I have deopression too. Sometimes I just cry hard and yell. But I got help and now I'm okey.

I know exactly what you mean. I started to go to therapy but had a bad therapist and my favorite school councilor left but I'm trying very hard.

You are an adolescent female. This is a really rough period. Growth, hormones, etc. It's normal. It won't last forever. You are not alone.
