Answer 1

i too have social anxiety. its a personality disorder and i have manic depression. i totally empathise with you and sure you can e-mail me. id like to beable to help you through this. i m 29 years old so i can share what i have learned the best ways of dealing with these problems are. i understand that this is going to be a life long struggle so feel free to email me as much as you need . i have a sister with a disorder similar to ms. they havent found a name for it yet but it is equally painful. although it must be a bit more painful to watch your parent suffer and worse haveing to constanly tend to them.

my father is a schitzophrenic. my boyfriend of ten years has a type of personality, agoraphobic, dillusional disoder. my suffering sister is also bypolar, my other sister has deep rooted emotional problems not yet looked into and my brother suffers from some kind of high anxiety,high anger , self destructive, easily suicidal when life is crazy type of problem and now my mom is showing some deep sphycological problems. my dad is also an unfit diabetic who is 49 and been taken to the hospital resently to have the doctors tell him that they are shocked he didnt have a stroke and now just a month later hes gone back into his self destructive ways and it seem withall the crap my mother has to deal with shes starting to lose her grip. shes in terrible physical shape and shes in way too much pain for someone who is only 48.

my boyfriend is good and beautiful inside but because of his disorders reality is constantly distorted and when situations arrise that he dont understand, even minute things, he is susseptible to thinking the situation involved deception or betrayal. our sex life is halted, theres no intamacy, although weve been able to hold onto our friendship which i hope in the end will be the key to restrengthening us.

you have to be open to totally setting everything you think you know about life and then let new information like the truth come in. lets just say that it has taken me 11 years to be in somewhat controll of an uncontrollable mind.first you have to search for truths. not the falsatys that your mind has made up because weve never had the correct stimulyplaced in front of us so we conceive certain confusing situations as deceit and despare.

first of all caring for someone in your life at such a young age is hard and can definatly hinder any emotional stimuly for you. i was always trying to take care of my siblings as a kid because my dad was too depressed to work and my mom was olways working and when i got a little older when things were bothering me id keep them in instead of talking to anyone because i didnt want to burden with my problems so i had to learn how to live my life on my own and that was hard. i went through such dark times that i didnt think that there was on more second that i could move on. thats when i decided to get help. but there is so much more to moving on than just getting on pills although it is a neccessity in my experience for me. you have to a start believing thing that your mind would not otherwise let you believe.but being a depressed individual as yourself, i believe that no matter what i tell you, if you are not getting treatment medicationally for the depression then, it wont help because i bet right now your mind runs constantly like a freight train.right? its only when you can get that frieght train to come to a halt and beable to think of one thing at a time is when you will be ready to fill the silence in your mind with the correct approach to moving on with your life. if you cant afford meds, (im not sure if this will work for everybody,)i have found a great pill that you can get over the counter . its called st johns wort. i need meds to slow down my freight train. but when i came to a point when i couldnt afford to seek proffessional help i started to slip. i had heard of st johns wort but kindof brushed it off because i though, how can an over the counter natural vitamain possibly help me? but when i finally couldnt take the crazyness and confusion in my head i said what the hell. i broke down and bought it anyway.i started with one and realized that it wasnt doing anything. then i thought, well drs adjust the dosage to fit each person, maybe i should too. so i went to 2 pills in the morn and then loe and behold, the noise, anxiety, felling down, and feeling bad about myself were gone. and not in weeks either. i felt better in days. its cheap and redily available. it is similar to lexapro and paxil i think. its awsome. and the only side affects which are mostly good are more energy, lots of happiness and laughter and sleep. it gives me tones of energy during the day because the depression isnt weighing you down. and i finally dream because i actually sleep during the night and i feel refreshed in the morning. at times that i feel that i may have a bit higher of an anxiety day, ill take another later on like 5 oclock and it will keep my emotions incheck for sure. but please dont abuse too many of these pills a day. im sure it couldnt be too go for you to over do it. so get started on treatment anway you decide and when you do then you can e mail me wiy\th more questions and ill be glad to help as long as you need it. if you are on meds and its working email me and well start working on this as much as i can afford the time . i needed someone and so now you need me. id be glad to help. there is a light at the end of the tunnel .trust me i know. my email address is [e-mail]

Answer 2

try a google search for support groups. try ones that are for depressive disorders, anxiety, and families of MS patients.
have you spoken to your doctor about your depression/anxiety? there are wonderful meds that can help whether it is a chemical imbalance or situational depression.

talking to someone who has been there really does help. i have a friend at work that has severe depression caused by a chemical imbalance like i do. it helps that we can discuss our illnesses and even see signs that each other's moods are going astray or the meds aren't quite working.
