am i having anxiety attacks? is this depression? help?

Hey,

This sounds like me :O haha. I just take everything way too personally and I have low low self-esteem. :O

I understand completely and am going thru the same thing . I have found keeping a journal of my feelings has helped along with bike riding and swimming. But you should check with your DR. their are meds that will help you handle things better and their is no shame in that.

I have a life, its just been a very difficult year for me. Please Dont fight on this thread it spams the comments...

Yeah, i excercise often but it doesnt help for that long, the feeling always comes back soon after

It is anxiety, I went through it and yes you do get anxiety when going through depression. I hated the feeling I would have the knot in my throat and the butterflies in m stomach I felt as if I was going to die but it is all in the mind you can't die from an anxiety attack. What you should do is just breath and tell yourself you are okay and nothing bad will happen to you....another thing you could do is talk to someone about your problems..I used to talk to my sister when my anxiety kicked in and it helped me out a lot.Also exercise works too it is good for relieving stress maybe take a jog a walk or a bike ride in the nearest park or neighborhood

I feel soooo bad for you :( something that may help is talking about your feelings to someone weather it's a family member, friend or psychiatrist. I really hope you get better.

it sounds like you have self worth issues you are taking things to heart too much relax and try not to get worked up

i don't think its normal, tho same thing happens to me sometimes. I feel very lonely sometimes and when a person ignores my text i feel like im bothering them and being annoying. it helps to go out with friends sometimes. trust me, i went through it myslef :)
it will get better just don't think about it too much and try to feel happy.

Okay, don't listen to the comments telling you to get a life because you are doing this for the attention. I know that is untrue and it is people like that who just reinforce the stigma associated with mental illness (if you do have one). I can't say for certain what is upsetting you but like others here have said, talk to someone. I would also recommend you go and see your GP, they have a lot of resources that can help you and they can refer you to a psychologist if want to do that.

It is up to you and your doctor wether you choose to take medication. Anti-depressants don't instantly make you happy and they don't change your personality or anything extreme. They just help to elevate your mood slightly so that you can think more clearly. Put it this way, if a person without any mental illnesses took an anti-depressant, it would have no effect on them. If taken correctly, they are not harmful.

I'm not a professional but I am talking from personal experience :) Good luck and take care!

True, True.

Yourse meaning the OP

Especially in this case. This person sounds like an idiot just trying to get attention. I've heard much worse problems than yourse of anxiety and depression. So no, this person shouldn't turn towards pills. They just need a life.

Pills should be the last resort though.

I feel really bad for u! Anxiety is normal but That's too much. The best thing u can do is focus on taking care of yourself!

And yea sorry about the length...

Ha. i bet there are millions of "simple" things in this world you wouldnt understand, for example the fact that asking does not make somebody stupid,it makea people smarter.

Tldr?

Klonopins. Get some.

Perfect* not presenthaha

Thanks everyone :) now i don't feel like this is some problem that should just be ignored and not taken seriously, cause thats always what happens if i try to talk to someone about it. Im always the Person who listens to everybody elses problems, so i guess they find it difficult to believe i might have Any. Also, people seem to think i lead a present life for some reason when that really is not True.

hmm, i know what you feel
i know something: getting self confidence
a lot of people need this, (me too)
a good way to get it a little more is to do some boxing (no competition, just training at a gym, even if you are a girl)
after a while, you get more confident: you can just punch in someones face over there (not hard, not to hurt him/her really bad)
just try it, it helps.

everyone gets anxiety from different things.
this is just weird, though. and whose texts are you relying on so much?

See a dr. And tell them you are depressed and it has to do with anxiety, believe me you will get help from a small green pill.

^Serious advise.

Tl;dr = "To Long, Didn't Read."

Dumbass.

Too long; didn't read

Tl;dr you bore me. Also get a life.
