If you are a happy person doing normal everyday things can you get anxiety? Can it last everyday constantly for months? What are your thoughts?

I acted like I was happy for years, but in the past year I've gotten really screwed up. I get randomly sad or frustrated, and little things set me off (when I'm not PMSing). It got a lot worse last week when one of my friends said he "can't deal with me" and that I "act bipolar when I'm not PMSing." Since then, I can't eat, I avoid my friends, I constantly feel bad, I don't want to do anything, and I just hate everything and most everyone. I have frequent urges to punch random strangers (or friends) and to kick things. People try to comfort me, but I just run away or tell them I don't want to talk about it.

Some of my friends aren't taking my feelings seriously, because I have a reputation for being moody. It seems that, for people who call themselves my friends, they don't like me very much (they complain about things I do a lot).

Something that really disturbs me is that I'm alienating my friends and I barely even care.

(My family has a history of depression.)

i have never been proven to have ocd, but i have most all of the symptoms so i'm pretty positive i have it. lately i have been getting soooo nervous and when i hear a sound for too long i goo nuts. for example, yesterday my mom was sweeping the entire house and i started crying and hitting things. i do the same thing when i hear people stomping for a long time. is this because of my ocd or something else?

-thank you-

Hello- to those who have taken/are taking Lexapro...I've been taking Lexapro for 2 weeks for panic and anxiety. Last night I took my boyfriend to the airport, I was crying, and I couldn't stop. Eventually I was hyperventilating, and then I had numerous panic attacks. I've had panic attacks about death since I was young, and the upset from leaving my boyfriend caused the panic attacks about death. I can't stop thinking about how one day I'm going to die. I think it is fear of the unknown. I went to my doctor who gave me Xanax, and told me that Lexapro makes symptoms worse before they get better. This doesn't make any sense to me. I asked him and he told me that's how we know it's working. He said to take Xanax as needed, and the anxiety and panic attacks should subside in two weeks. I don't know if I can make it until then with this anxiety! Is it worth it? Can Lexapro work after such terrible initial side-effects?

i used to be a meth addict about 4 years ago (i was addicted for 2.5 years). After that i was perscribed Lexapro 20mg once daily, Welbutrin SR 150mg twice daily. Now i take that plus a nightly birth control pill, about 5-6 Vicodin/daily (the "doubleshot" ones) and if i don't have those i take my friends Adderall about 2 times a day. I know this sounds stupid but, i am going to die if i don't stop soon huh?

I have recently been diagnosed with OCD, anxiety, and depression and I was started off with 100mg of Zoloft. I was also wondering about possible side effects and personal experiences anyone knows about or has experienced while on Zoloft.

Thank you.

Hi. I see both a psychiatrist and a psychologist but as times goes by I'm starting to think that the therapy is not enough. I also don't agree with many things and feel like I can't do much about it "as a patient". For example I want to decrease my dosage of prozac but my psychiatrist is unwilling ,saying I take the minimum "working dosage." I also want to try other medication but my psychiatrist says its pointless because I've tried enough. I also don't think these occasional "talking" meetings are working enough for me and think I need something more intensive. I guess I need something that they can't give me.

Basically I'm "not happy" with my therapy and don't really know what to do. Whereas in the beginning the therapy was more intensive I feel like I've been given-up on or that "all has been tried."

Is it ever time to change therapists to get that "brand new start (positive) feeling"?

Has anyone went to see a Psychologist for depression? Did it help? I've been very depressed lately...but I'm not like "crazy." I take a good care of myself and have no problem socializing with others. It only happens when I'm alone in my room at night. I really need help but I don't know where to go? Is it a good idea to go see a psychologist since my insurance covers for it?

When I had an operation I had "blind faith" that my surgeon knew what he was doing.

Should I also have "blind faith" in my psychiatrist?

I get really REALLY anxious when I'm in crowds. I get cotton mouth, lose my hearing, get tunnel vision, and my body temp fluctuates uncontrollably. I know that this is a panic attack. Are there any ways to help me relax around crowds? I like to go to clubs with my fiance, and I like to go to concerts. I'm also a musician, so I perform a lot, yet can never be in a crowd. What can I do ahead of time to prepare or relax me? Is there anything I can take to help handle it?
