Depression And Pain... Someone Give Me An Answer Please. Posted: 03-30-06 21:02pm
Hey guys, i'm an 18 year old male, and to
tell you the truth, i'm horrified. I'm
never happy anymore, I feel like the days
keep going by faster and faster,
everything... Now for my question...
Ever since my girlfriend's mother died,
it's been hell for me. I'm constantly
worried over heart attack, heart failure,
palpitations, the works. If anything goes
wrong, it's instantly my heart. The
question is, first of all, if you're
depressed, do you get tired easy? I was
playing basketball last night and ran
around for a bit, and usually i'm not
tired, but this time it took me forever to
calm down and get rest from this episode,
and during it I had three panic attacks...
Mainly because my heart was beating fast,
and I thought I would have a heart attack
or something. And today, ever since I got
back from school, i've felt like I wanted
to mope around, constantly checking my
heart and waiting for a pain to come
through me, i've done had an ekg, and it
was perfectly fine. And I find it hard to
breathe, not because I can't, but my mind
just seems like it doesn't feel like it...
I'm going on day by day wondering what's
wrong with me and if my heart is really
ok. Can depression cause pains in the
chest and such? I also have anxiety,
panic attacks really bad, ocd, the works,
again... Can depression cause all of
this? Please, someone give me a reply
soon... Thanks...

Depression can make you extreamly tired,
and make it so that you don't want to do
things you used to love. Make you sleep
many extra hours. I would suggest going
to your doctors, and getting checked out
many people do have depression.. Good
luck

Also if you are having a lot of panic
attacks, that can make you very tired. I
used to get panic attacks a lot and once
they passed I would feel very worn out.
I definately recommend finding a therapist
of some sort and make sure that it is
someone you like and are comfortable with.
Sometimes just the relief of having
someone whom you trust and know is
educated on these things is enough to
start making you feel better. Also I
agree that one big sign of depression is
loss of interest in things that you used
to enjoy doing, lack of motivation,
inablity to feel emotion, like not feeling
excited about things you know that you
should feel excited about and of course
being tired, very tired in some cases.
Again, I would try to start seeing someone
asap.

Heart attacks and stuff?
Well, everyone's scared of dying, really,
but im kinda getting used to seeing it
this way:
"to the well-organised mind, death can be
the next adventure."
and yes, that was dumbledore from harry
potter ahaha, I love the series. Anyways,
yeah, just think about it....Death cant be
all that bad, I mean im pretty sure
there's something after life and I have
read an article on it in like grade 7 or
something for english (we were forced to,
but it was really interesting.) and the
people who have died and come back to life
arent scared of death anymore. The only
reason why people are scared about it is
because we know so little about it and
probably will never mind out its full
meaning. But I doubt it's scary.
