More Depressed Than One Can Handle Posted: 06-06-05 01:44am
Hey all, my first time posting on here
even though I have been reading the posts
and is a very good resource. I just want
to say im 22 male from tampa and the last
3 months, been having issues. One day in
march I used to smoke weed alot but since
quit, I was high one day felt like I was
gonna faint but never did. From then on I
think there is something wrong with me, I
havent been the same since. Iwen to the
dr in april perscribed zoloft, but
eventually quit because I didnt like it.
Im just having trouble grapsing conepts of
reality such as life why we get old and I
cannot enjoy my life. I dont know if this
is for shure depression, but I keep
convincing myself that there is something
wrong with me and im going to die. I
always think about death and it sucks I
dont wanna die but I keep thinking about
it. I hate the fact that im getting older
but I wanna have my life back. I used to
be so happy now my thoughts just run crazy
and on top of it all I have mad panic
attacks which last anywhere from 45mins to
3-4 hrs. Any advice would be more than
greatly appreciated.
Thanks , nick

Hi
when going onto medication the first lot
may not always be the best one to be on.
I myself went from aroprax which I did not
like due the side effects that it had if I
ever forgot to take one. I am now on
avanza which seems to be working well.
Its hard when you are in a situation where
you feel like there is no point to live
anymore, because I have the same thoughts.
I myself from entering early twenties I
thought I was going to drive myself crazy,
I felt as though I had no contol of what
was going on in my mind and felt that I
was going no where.
I use to "run away" from my problems, but
eventually it reached boiling point I
ended up having to finally face the issues
that needed attention.
I'm seeing a physcotherpist.
It really does boil down to you to reach
out and get outside help. You may not
feel like reaching out to anybody because
hey I didn't want to, but if I didn't
then, well, hey I may not be even
alive....
Time is one of the huge factors in life,
don't feel like your wasting away, don't
forget that there are people out there who
love you dearly.
And also it could be an age thing as
well.
I've just turned 25, and well I feel as
though i'm "settling".
Hope things turn round for you.

Thanks for the reply, I have classic
deprssion and anxiety symptoms, such as
feeling in a dream all the time , having
no control, and real bad dreams (although
not nightmares) sometimes its hard to
decipher those from reality. Classic
symptoms, so I know that is what I have,
but as an individual I also have others as
well more intense. I wake up and have
panic attacks think im trapped and think
im going to die. I feel like ive blown up
inside my mind like the big bang or
something, just hope it settles down for
me , thanks again.
