I have anxiety and depression.I didn't know that until I went to a doctor that told me that I had post tramatic stress.We were in Katrina in Miss.We now live in a place so far removed from there its like outer space to me.I try hard and think positive and take medicine but no matter how hard I try I feel that Im not long for here.I feel ok somedays and others I just am so tired and anxious about my life.Its hard to get excited about anything because I can't see past the next minute .For some reason I feel im at the end.I can't seem to shake that feeling,no reason to plan or to do because i wont be here..I can't get excited about anything because I feel its null and void..I just wondering anyone else ever feel this..it would be nice to know im not alone..

Your feelings are typical of someone who has gone through a life threatening situation such as Katrina. You have been uprooted and your entire life has had to be rearranged for the time being. If you will just "hang in there", things will get better with time. I hope you are seeing a doctor for your symptoms as well as a therapist because both medication and counseling would be very beneficial to you.

I have been in the same situation as you before. I had to move far away from where I had been living all my life (home) involuntarily, I had no friends, I was barely making it financially plus a whole lot of other personal problems. It felt like I was going to do something awful to myself and I had no control over it. Somehow, I thought, If I can just keep myself alive, and just keep living and keep moving on and waking up every morning, then one day it would all have to subside. AND IT DID! I am a very happy individual now. I was also suffering from depression and anxiety. I can't tell you whats best for you for help. I know where I came from and it's very scary. But you CAN make it with HELP and TIME! YOU CAN DO IT! I hope I helped a little.

Yeah, I get scared too, sometimes.
Happy New Year!
