Q: New Here, Suffered For Years...

Hi everyone,
my name is melissa (mel) and i'm 20, I have suffered with health anxiety since I was about 5 years old. I have been suffering with depression for 2 years now, currently going thru a very tough relapse-altho it feels very different to the last time I was depressed.

This time i'm filled with a very deep and cynical anger.
My moods swing wildly from one to another, my boyfriend has left me-which I don't mind really as I wanna be on my own right now.
We have a one year old daughter and i'm coping ok with her.

I've been on new meds (remeron) for two weeks, and my anxiety has got out of hand in that time. Sad

the thing I wanted to ask was, does anyone else feel mixed up? For example, I want company from people one minute and the next I don't want anyone around me. My brain says I need help but I refuse comfort etc.

I hate feeling this way, I feel that the anger could make me explode! Rolling Eyes

Ok, 15 & you almost killed a girl & you are errupting with hate & you feel you don't have a choice about what is in your life right now. Rolling Eyes Wink

you do have a choice, read my replies to your other posts, the choices good or bad are up to you & they will decide your future. The choices are yours.

I believe in past & future lives & in spirits & maybe you have alot of bad spirits around you & that is why you love looking at dead people & graves these days & why you think about being better off dead in that other place. You can deal with this - if you choose - by asking them to leave & asking good, happy helpful spirits to come around you. That might be a start, but remember since things seem pretty entrenched it may not change instantly!! Especially if your request is less than convincing!!

Hi mellyuk20, I always obsessed about my health and other stuff that made no sense. It got so bad that I eventually got panic disorder which stinks! I recently finished my cbt group and weaned off drugs and i'm feeling great now though. You owe it to yourself to give cbt a try, it really works wonders fast Smile the two books we used in my group are really good and I would recommend them both highly: been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz for anxiety and depression and mastery of your anxiety and panic-third edition by michelle craske and david barlow for panic disorder.
