Hey everyone
trigger warnings- Depression is kind of new to me. I’ve always had anxiety and panic attacks but never depression like this. I’m 35 and still feel like a child. I can’t even take care of myself. I can’t make my own food, I never leave the house I feel like a burden on my significant other. I don’t have any friends and a very small family (1 brother 1 sister). I feel doom and gloom most days and social media has become very depressing. It seems like everyone is depressed there. I lost my dad two years ago and he was our only parent. I’ve always had healthy anxiety but that amplified it. I have no idea what to do. Depression is a weird one that’s for sure
@crimsonEast4639 Thank you for sharing your experience with depression. It takes courage to open up about feeling like a burden and not having the energy to care for yourself. You have also experienced significant loss, and it is understandable that amplified feelings of anxiety.
I've gone through all of it. Anxiety and depression are very closely associated with each other. But many people don't realize it. Please tell your psychiatrist about this and he will give appropriate medicines to help you out.
