Sick of trying

...See more I'm getting to the point that I'm just sick and tired of everything going wrong. I keep sucking it up and taking a step forward, but when I do something else happens and sets me back. I just cant get a grip anymore. Everything is falling apart around me and I cant keep pretending it will be ok. I fix something, something else breaks, I take a step in recovering my relationship something sets us back again. I cant even feel "normal" day to day anymore. It's just always a new hurdle every time I turn around. I can't get my footing anymore and I'm getting tired of trying. I'm ready to just give up and let everything crash down around me.
Alone

...See more Why do I feel so lonely. I have my fiance I have this whole community. But this depression makes me feel utterly alone. Nothing is fulfilling anymore. I just feel so alone and empty and annoyed. Why cant I just feel happy or content. I have those that want me to open up to them but I feel like such a nuisance like I'm always dragging everyone down, or if I dont pretend to be happy more those that do care will get tired of trying. I dont want to push people away ot hurt anyone but how can I express this low feeling I have without everyone getting tired of it. My fiance begs for me to open up to her but what if she hates what I've become.

...See more My name is Michael and I'm 26 I suffer from Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, and Narcolepsy. I'm about a week in this site so I wouldn't say I'm new, but I wanted to get a feel for the community and the site before I posted anything here. I have to say I love this site and its been a fantastic experience. Most of the listeners are so empathetic and compassionate. I've even befriended a couple that are really awesome. It really helps to be able to talk out problems with people that have experienced them before and know what I'm dealing with. More often than not i find myself talking for hours with the listeners as they help me realize things I've never considered. Im really glad your apart of this community and I know you will find at least some comfort here. Keep your head up!
Sudden Intense Urge to Cry

...See more I havent found much on this, but does anyone ever get an overwhelmingly intense urge to cry suddenly then it just go away? Like I can be doing anything and I'll suddenly feel like i need to cry. I want to just let it out but I can't. It's like my body wont let me no matter how hard I try. Then the feeling passes and I'm just numb. Has Anyone dealt with this? or does anyone know how I can just let myself do it. I feel like maybe if i did it wouldnt happen as often.
Changing for the Worst

...See more I think Im changing as a person, and not for the better. If you asked me who I thought I was 5 years ago aside from anxious and panicky I would have said Kind and Patient. Thats before my depression really started. Now I dont know who I am. Sure i had incredibly low self esteem and i was insecure, but now I feel completely different. When Im not depressed or numb Im just not the same, and I dont like who it is. Im cold and shrewd. I snap at almost everyone for the dumbest things, and when i dont out loud i have a strong urge to do so. Im quieter than i used to be and Ive always been quiet. When I do talk I sound just cold and annoyed for no reason. I hate being like this. I hate seeing hurt or annoyance on peoples faces when I snap at them or say something crass for no real reason. Ive even caught myself being short with my fiance and it makes me feel terrible. I dont want to be like this. If Im going to suffer this state of mind I dont want it to be taken out on anyone. I want to be my old self but more and more its getting harder to remember who that person was. How do I work on this. Ive never had to work on how I treated others before because Ive always been kind and soft spoken. I just dont want to be like this. I dont want to be mean or rude to anyone. Its like Im becoming as a person on the outside as bad as I feel on the inside and I hate it. It just adds to the feeling of hating myself that I already feel growing more and more.

...See more Is here anyway to find a listener that has any experience with a specific disorder. Depression anxiety and OCD I find plenty of help for but narcolepsy is a huge part of my struggle.i dont expect anyone to know off hand the ins and outside of every disorder but maybe I could find one based on this?
