Anyone else out there suffer with depression and anxiety? What's your experience?

[Anonymous]

Been dealing with it for a number of years. Most the time it's kept under control.

What's your experience?

At first it was just loneliness when my childhood sweetheart and I were currently in a LDR. (We basically went back and forth.) About 10 years ago she passed away and I’ve been a wreck ever since. I’m ready to move on, but still suffering from depression and anxiety as I look for a new opportunity for love. I’ve also been very shy my entire life, and although I’m making improvements I’m afraid it’s not enough yet.

[Asker]

That's got to be a difficult thing to deal with. I can't imagine not having my spouse with me.

Move on as you feel you need but know there are others thinking about you too.

[clampfan101]

I know. The problem is trying to find someone. I don’t get out much because I can’t drive yet, and you can imagine how being shy would only make things more difficult. (Also online dating sucks unless perhaps if you pay for premium. I’m not paying for that.)

[AmeerX]

What happened to her?

[clampfan101]

@AmeerX I’d rather not talk about it…

[AmeerX]

May her soul rest in peace and be in heaven 🙏. Ameen.
Please don't let this worldly seperation deter you. Life is really short and I tell you my story. I am just 30 years old. And I had attack of multiple diseases and financial troubles and fake cases in one combined roller coaster ride since 2013. I thought I would be a goner but every time my life was saved by God. My friend died, my other friend's sister died. My uncle's son died younger. My uncle even died. They are all in the other realm and here I always thought I would go first considering I had fall and pain and suffering but nope. I am unfortunately stuck here waiting for my time but until that time comes let's live the days trying to fight our fates. One day you will be united with your love but don't destroy yourself. Even she would not want you to do that to yourself. 👍Stay strong and God bless

Depression is my first name and I suffered from it starting from being just 10 years old.

My way to battle it is simple.

Antidepressants.

Did you see the those 2 words? Anti & depressants = Antidepressants.

For me it is working. So long I am routinely swallowing those pills.

Now.

Women are also my antidepressants but it's not like I am getting them whenever I want unlike the antidepressants meds.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah i feel like I've always had it lmao i just smoke MJ now to cope with the anxiety and my depression i kinda cope with? I don't know

it's like I've learned to deal with life better to help my mental health. it's weird. some mornings i wake up and stare at my ceiling for 10 minutes debating to end it all while other mornings im just getting up robot mode lol

[AmeerX]

Hey don't do drugs. What's causing you depression?

[Asker]

Hopefully you don't take the first option. There should always be better options.

Be careful of getting messed up with the drugs too.

[AmeerX]

Indeed OP

[MemeSupreme]

i smoke weed bc my ptsd is like crippling at times which just can fuck up an entire day. also can't sleep if i don't smoke weed. like I've gone down the road of therapy, medication, and living healthier. it's just my way of dealing with it and it is what it is

[AmeerX]

What happened to you? Why do you have PTSD?
I know but be careful with that thing.

[MemeSupreme]

bad childhood

[AmeerX]

Try finding someone:). Someone who will be there for you 🙏

[Anonymous]

Yeah I have anxiety. The worst thing about it is the random bouts of insomnia. I’ve had period where I’ve gone days without sleep and it’s so terrible it really makes life feel awful. I have medication that my doctor prescribed but my mom keeps it from me.

[Asker]

That sounds bad. Other than a couple of times, my anxiety never hit that level.

Is there a reason to keep the mess back? If they're sleeping pills, she may not want you to get addicted.

[AmeerX]

Hey you are too young to be taking antidepressants. Your mom wants you to develop the natural way. Please use less social media

[Christsdisciple15]

It’s pretty dreadful and feels like a prison and an obstacle. But it was worse in the past when I had actual episodes where I forwent hygiene and never got out of bed. Now I still rarely leave my house, but I am better with keeping busy. I’ve been in free therapy for several sessions at a time, which can be helpful for teaching techniques but it can only help me so much since I am extremely self aware and can very effectively break down and intellectualise my pain. It’s just getting out of it that’s the problem lol. I don’t want to make my depression and anxiety my personality or “acclimate” to my circumstances, but I am very much for acknowledging what I’m struggling with instead of adopting the attitude some others have which is borderline toxic positivity.

[Asker]

I sure wish you the best. It seems as if you're on the right path.

[AmeerX]

I have had it on and off. Never use reddit with depression. It's the darkest and worst. This site has some decent people at least.

In your real life do talk to someone, try talking to a female company, go to a club or somewhere you can meet some strangers to talk to. Or if that's not possible then do what I do. I go to the factory area or the village. There you get this calming down of nerves. And even if that's not possible then at least tell us what is bothering you. Doctors and antidepressants help but socialize and speak to someone please.

I feel so happy to announce to the world that I won the lottery. I was worried about my retirement which was 2 weeks away and I had no savings so I spoke to a spell caster called lord Bubuza for help to win the lottery. He told me that he will reveal winning numbers to me after casting a lottery spell and tell me when and how to play so I provided his requirement to cast the spell after which I went to my Boss office in confidence to remind him that my retirement will be in two weeks, Three days later i went into a J&J Variety convenience store in West Boylston Mass, and bought a scratch-off lottery ticket as instructed by Lord Bubuza, I did the night prayers as he instructed too. I won $1,000,000 and I chose the cash payment of US$650,000 ($870,000). I lack words to appreciate Lord Bubuza, Please Friends thank him for me via email: lordbubuzamiraclework @ hotmail. com or via WhatsApp: [phone]

I went through a spell of depression in my mid-late 20's. Made it very hard to accomplish simple day-to-day tasks. Got some meds for a few months and managed to crawl out of it; changing my life circumstances definitely helped.

[Asker]

Been there and done that. It's terrible when it hits that level.

[Bricealan]

My experience has been that many/most of us have some bouts of depression and anxiety, at different points in time. I try to get out and exercise.

[MissBoogus]

It didn’t get better until I left the problem. (My family) and then it took many years to manage. I no longer have depression but I do have anxiety but it’s much more manageable. I just try my best to live a healthy and well balanced lifestyle.

[Anonymous]

I used to until I found God as well as changing my diet and thought processes.

[Asker]

Good for you.

[Anonymous]

I have schizophrenia with anxiety and depression which is managed with abilify and clonazepam.

[AmeerX]

Hey, hope you get better. It's painful to watch people suffering mentally or physically.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you. It indeed is.

[AmeerX]

Great 🙂. You be careful now

[TiaNour]

I got adhd which can cause depression at times

[Kingofkings1992]
