My biggest problem is constant fear of stuff, constant thinking, and the unability to focus, to think straight. it feels like some part of my brain is kinda frozen and i cannot use it to make plan, or think. I know im clever but this makes me feel so damn stupid...and i feel scared if i cant ever change this.I mean im on college, i pass my exams...but its hard for me to deal with real life stuff, making decisions, making connections between certain situations and so on. IT IS NOT DEPRESSION i know this because i felt deression a few times, its not like i feel sad or hopeless. I dont feel like i want to die or so... I WANT TO live and have a normal, nice life. But its more just constant tension and fear ( that bothers me) and unability to focus. I also feel weak a lot phisically. Any methods to overcome any of this?

Gjamison 27 thanx a lot:) to be honest i have been thinking about the combo of anxiety disorder and ADD! i did not know if that was possible. I also do think that those kind of "disorders" might as well be overcome by controling yourself, staying busy etc. I am very thankfull for your advice. I dont really see why everybody tries to make me think im depressed. I seriously do not feel that way. Never mind, thanx ;)

It sounds to me like you are suffering from anxiety. Having severe anxiety can cause a whole slew of other problems, including symptoms of depression.
I would seek the advice of a professional and they can help you to determine what course should be take to help alleviate your symptoms and make your life a litte more tolerable.
Good luck!

Sounds to me like you simply have a mild anxiety disorder with a splash of ADHD.
With that being said, I think ADHD has gotten way too popular as a diagnosis (especially in children) and is most often an excuse for an active mind.
Anxiety disorders on the other hand, can be very real. This brings about the lack of self confidence and worry that you seem to be feeling. It may sound funny, but try and stay busy. By busy, I mean, you need to keep your mind stuimulated as much as possible. If you have a hard time focusing on one thing for too long, multitask! Go between different priojects and interests as your mind dictates. This could help alieve some of the anxiety you feel because you'll have less time to sit and think about yourself. If the problems persist, I would recommend talking to a shrink. Not because you are deficient or something is wrong with you, but because they can very often offer simple solutions, mental exercises, etc. to help you focus, and can often help you to realize that you shouldn't be worry and lack self confidence through a subjective point of view. If its still that bad, they make a little pill for everything and that may be all you need.

Could you be diabetic? Low blood sugar could cause all
of these symptoms. Of course this is guessing. You most
certainly need to see a physician asap. It could be something
so minor and here you are suffering when you may not need to. Please see a Doctor.

i think that you need to seek the help of someone who deals with this kind of thing. you say you've dealt with depression. maybe it was in a different form,because it sure sounds like depression to me.
