Struggling with depression
So I’ve recently been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I mean I knew there was something wrong with me but I was in denial until I started having panic attacks.
lately, I’ve been super angry for no reason and sad. Then out of no where I’d daze off and feel numb. Then I feel angry again. It’s like a whole constant cycle. Anyone relate to this? Is this normal?
Do you mind me asking if you recently started taking meds for your diagnosed?. You don't have to answer that or tell me what meds but if you did start meds for it then your meds might not be working the best. When your meds start wearing off you can feel angry and sad. But when they are working you can get tired and numb. So meds could be to low. I would talk with your doctor and see what your doctor says about that. I know friends who are on meds for this and usually the doctor has to up the dosage.
I understand and know that feeling, where your emotions may get so overwhelming that your brain would just want to shut everything off and run on autopilot bringing all the repressed emotions with them which may surface in the form of frustration or anger , you’re not alone my friend feel free to reach out should you feel the need to talk to someone
Hey thanks for sharing. Im sorry to hear about the panic attacks. Yes, I think when one is depressed, it probably is normal to have all sorts of emotions. I've struggled with depression for a long time, and I tend to feel angry, sad, hopeless, lonely, etc. It's just all over the place. I think the key is what we focus on. It's so easy for us to think negative. Thinking positive takes so much effort. But our brains basically need to be retrained to think the right way. That's what my therapist told me. It's really tough, but not impossible. Let's get through it together, friend. Also, please feel free to watch this video for encouragement as well: https://youtu.be/OUROG1elIF0
I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through all of this. I’ve struggled with depression myself and i completely understand how you feel. You’re caught off guard by the many negative emotions and it just gets to a point where you’re clueless on what to do or how to feel. You’re having to face many emotions at the same time and it can be quite overwhelming. It’s absolutely okay to feel this way and you’re not alone in this. You can always reach out to me or other listeners as we’d be happy to listen more on what you want to say!
