please, i don’t know what to do?
Dec 31st
i really don’t know what to think anymore. it seems as though my life will not get any better, i won’t get any ihappier, and i’ll be stuck the way i am forever. i have constant anxiety about everything, and i can never seem to find time to relax. i’m not on any meds for it and i don’t go to therapy because my parents honestly can’t afford that right now. and i’m highly considering going back to doing drugs. i stopped last year, but that was honestly the only way i could relax, and i really miss that feeling. i know i’m depressed, it’s more like clinical depression, because i’m not usually sad around my friends. but everywhere else i feel sad, unhappy, and down. most of my depression and unhappiness comes from constant anxiety, it’s beginning to control my life. it makes me feel bad because i know that there are people out there who have it much worse than me, but i don’t know how to control the way i feel. i can’t just tell myself to be happy or positive, because it’s just not that easy. i’ve also been struggling with weight issues, and i’ve become obsessed with my body image. i feel the need to keep losing weight, even though i’m at a normal weight now. i’ve been eating less, and i’m worried that this might turn into an actual eating disorder. before this month, i hadn’t cut for seven and a half months. but then i started to again, and now it’s like i can’t stop. i don’t want to cut anymore, i just don’t know how to. i think i also might have ocd, because i’m constantly rearranging things to be a certain way, because it doesn’t feel right. sometimes i’ll literally spend five minutes putting something a certain way, because i feel that if i don’t, something bad will happen. i know, it’s weird.
all of these things have caused me to struggle in school, and my grades are suffering. my parents constantly nag me about my grades, because it’s not that i’m not smart, but i just don’t really try as hard as i should. but to be honest, i don’t really have motivation to try, i’m not sure why. can anybody relate to this? or just any general advice? and please no rude comments, i just can’t take that right now.

I’m always so anxious and stressed I make myself sick, my doc said I should be on anxiety meds but (details)?
Oct 1st
But I’ve had bad experiences with them. I’ve been diagnosed bipolar with general anxiety disorder. On top of that the doctor said I suffer from PTSD from living in a very abusive household. He said this because I have severe issues with loud noises, guys that look like my step dad, and can’t stand to be touched/ get very flinchy when someone is close.
They had me on effexor for awhile but I write and on meds for being bipolar or anxiety I’ve found it takes away my creativity, I feel like I’m neither sad nor happy and I couldn’t see living that way.
Lately I have discovered the only thing that does help is pain medication like oxycotin or codeine or whatever… it mellows me out without making feel like a different person. I got them for an unrelated issue and now I’m scared because I just want to keep taking them.
I had and got over a pain medication issue back when I was 14 (22 now) and I’m scared I’m on the same path.
I feel like I can’t be helped and I’m scared.
I’m so high strung and nervous around people I hate msyelf for not being able to be normal. I hate myself for overreacting and for stressing about things that other people seem to just be able to let go. I just want to be able to enjoy life and I just can’t. I hate myself for having these problems, my dad tells me there is nothing wrong with me that its just weakness… I hate myself for having these problems.

My question deals with depression and anxiety disorders..of whether or not you can receive disability for this
Sep 14th
I have had problems since my teenage years and I am now on medication for depression and social and general anxiety disorders. The problem doesn’t seem to get any better…I am constantly sad and feel overwhelmed with life. It has gotten to the point where I have trouble just going to work. I develope migrane headaches frequently too. They did a CTscan on me also, but showed nothing. When I am not at work I very rarely leave the house. I feel like I cannot even go outside and do yard work because I don’t want anyone to see me….I feel as if there is no point to do anything because it doesn’t matter..nothing will change….all I want to do is sleep…at least there, things are ok most of the time. I cannot just quit my job..then there would be no way to pay bills. I feel like I cannot explain this to my fiance..he knows I have problems, but I feel because of how I am , I know this affects our relationship in all aspects…I hate the way I feel…does any one have some answers for me?
