Depression, anxiety, and more

[United Marxist Nations]

I would post, but I would be quite embarrassed by others knowing the condition.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone has their own issues to deal with. What's going on?

It's more the physical manifestations of my disorder which would be embarrassing. I might become more open to discussing it later, but I was only diagnosed recently, and it still seems like something to be embarrassed about.

probably. it's a shame they're probably one of the places all the "waiting lists!!!" sensationalism is generally true though.

There was no waiting list here. I just went in, and they got me a therapist.

i suppose it might depend on what you go for. i did get one literally the same day for suicide stuff when i was still a kid. but for "the main thing that keeps me kinda depressed" it's at least a year to even see anyone. i could be dead in a year. fun.

If you'd like, feel free to TG me and I'll tell you my honest opinion about it. There's no need to rush and open up, but it generally helps.

I don't have any bad problems. For every one else here is a good solution, grab a beer/drink, then do what ever you like to do and you'll be happy.

In the last six months, my already bad depression and my already bad anxiety, has gotten much, much worse. Nowadays, it always seems like there is something I'm nervous about, even the most trivial of things cause me to have extreme panic attacks. Last week, I fainted, and was unconscious for several minutes.

The depression also is bad, I find that nothing is fun anymore, it's causing me to have "brain fog", a constant state of unhappiness, and in general, just...depression.

Have you tried any form of therapy or medication?

I should be getting therapy in several weeks. I've been taking Prozac since 3rd grade, but I may need to up the dosage, since I've been taking the same amount since 3rd grade, and I've grown.

It isn't. But take your time.

That's sad.

Oh, wow, thanks, that totally solves the issue of the only thing that I desire to do being jumping out my goddamn window.

For one, I can't drink, and doing the things that make me happy are almost impossible thanks to hours of homework, swim practice every day, and stress.

When did you get your MD and Masters in psychology?

I didn't bother testing the public system. Went straight for a private therapist. Costs quite a bit, but I can get an appointment practically overnight. Therapy itself, however, hasn't helped.

Yes, definitely, talk to your doctor and get the dosage increased. If you started taking it in 3rd grade, it would've been a very, very low dose.

Another reason I would be reluctant to post it is that it's more triggered by anxiety than specifically an anxiety disorder itself.

That's still applicable, I feel.

Your welcome. You might have to drink your beer pretty fast on the way down.

Alright, that got a laugh out of me.

Well you have to drink responsibly.

NSG is the last place I would recommend going for a decent discussion on depression, anxiety and more.
