I’m new here..and I just desperately need to type this out with the anonymity that comes with the internet. I’m so..very tired. I’m not sure what’s wrong. Since I was little..maybe 7 I became withdrawn. Depression rose and finally last year when I was 24 I finally collapsed when the anxiety decided to come out full blown. My mother took to immediate care once she found me 4 times curled up sobbing for no reason. By that time I had taken off work, my grades were garbage, I had stopped eating, stopped everything but lay in bed and cry. My father says it’s in my head and I just need to exercise and get over it. He complains about me taking medicines and doctors fees even with insurance. What if he is right? So..why. I haven’t lived through anything traumatic ..not compared to all these people. Why do I want to die. Why can’t I just not screw one thing up in my life. Why do I let people use me and expect the outcome to change ? I feel so disconnected, so lost. I can’t see a future for myself . I have a b.a, I work, I vollunteer..yet deep down I know my core is rotten . But am I really so bad a person to deserve this endless torment? I don’t want to be a burden on them..myou friends..family…so I try to play it off as a joke..this constant feeling of being watched, jumping everything I hear my father or mothers voice through the wall, pressing my face so hard into the pillow I can’t breath. Haha, right? I feel..bad they feel bad for me..this sick feeling in my stomach that let me hide all of this for twenty years. My doctor gave up..sent me to a new one. It’s been a year and even the xanax doesn’t help anymore. The anti depressants might as well be skittles . I’m losing this battle and I don’t think I even care . I’m so scared of physical pain but..then again I’m scared of everything. It’s been a year and I cant stop crying again and there is no reason.

In these conditions the right thing to do is to stop overthinking, just relax, take a deep breath and forget about all the people around you. (it’s just my opinion though… i’m not a doctor) 🙂
Yeah for one Darvin has a point. Secondly, I can tell your father is right as well – why take those pills ? They make you rely on them and it’s not okay. It turns you into a vegetable. There is nothing wrong with you. It is the world around you that is not normal..insane. It doesn’t surprise me one bit you are crying..we miss so many things, so many things we can’t have – like love for instance.
Don’t fret about having “no reason” to feel this way, it will probably make u feel worse. Many people suffer from depression for “no reason”. Your not wrong for feeling this way it’s an illness so don’t beat yourself up even more for it. It just really sucks huh.Have you tried counselling as well as medication?
Decide if you want to get better. If so, find a new therapist. Follow their instructions. Take you meds. If the meds aren’t helping tell the therapist. If the therapist isn’t helping find a new therapist. Follow their instructions. Take you meds. If the meds aren’t helping tell the therapist. If the therapist isn’t helping find a new therapist. Follow their instructions. Take you meds. If the meds aren’t helping tell the therapist. If the therapist isn’t helping find a new therapist. And on and on until you get better.
Sorry, its the only game in town.
