anxiety ?
so i think i have anxiety but not sure or it could even be depression..
like i have bad thoughts and i mostly think about it when im away from my mom. or just anyone. it normally is about scary things like the world and all thats in it..
it goes away but comes back.
i tried changing my life around. like doing things differnt but it always comes back.
iv been having these feelings for awhile (a couple months) and i dont know what to do about it.
i seriously need help. or i dont know how much more i can take.
Chosen Answer:
I have anxiety and this is not one of my symptoms or even a classic symptom of it. Could be depression though, since you think of scary things. You probably need to seek out some help for a diagnosis and some medication. Sweets, don’t stress on this at all, lots of people think about scary things, you may be at the beginning of an anxiety disorder or depression. Talk to someone, your Mom would be the first one to talk to about this. You will be fine though!

You could have an anxiety disorder.
You should go see a professional doctor, or counseler.

Its really good that you are asking these questions about it…well done !! : ¬ )
Can you think of anything that happened a couple of months ago that may have brought this on ?..if so, what was it ?
Do you have someone you could discuss this with ?…like your mom ?….or a good genuine friend ?
Do talk to someone ….as soon as possible.
As you are addressing this early, it will be easier for you to sort it out….dont worry….help is at hand

yeah i agree with Nikky…you should start seeing someone because it would help a lot. I have some what of a social anxiety issue, and it really helps when your seeing someone and getting all your feelings and thoughts out.

First, it’s important to recognize that anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health conditions. Fortunately, they are among the least dangerous and easiest to treat. One of the best ways to feel better, and this applies to depression as well, is to just sit down with someone you can trust and pour out your feelings to them. It will feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It doesn’t have to be a doctor at $100 an hour. It just needs to be a good listener and someone level headed enough to talk rationally with you. Anxiety disorders are so common that I would not recommend seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist immediately. See your family doctor. He/she is probably now treating hundreds of people for this condition. One thing you should consider if you are not doing it is to get regular exercise. I can pretty much guarantee you that 20 to 30 minutes of rigorous exercise will remove a lot of your anxiety. Good luck.

sounds like anxiety…I suffer from anxiety as well. It all seems overwhelming. I got help and now I feel grounded. See your doctor, explain it exactly as you did here…..
Here’s a book that can help. The road less traveled….

I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, too. I had them for so long I thought that was part of living. But I got help, and realized it freed me of so much energy I had been using on worrying. The world seemed so much brighter. You are a a great point, because you are aware that something might be wrong. Because of this awareness, you have the opportunity to do something about it now.
Professional help was a great starting point for me.
Don’t get me wrong, life isn’t perfect, but it IS a lot better.

I have PTSD and PANIC ATTACKS…I take half mg. of risperdal . It’s the only thing I’ve found that’s helped…after trying LOTS of things (medicines). Also…laughing helps a lot…it “jiggles” something inside you. And a good massage helps to relax you. Can’t give you a massage..but here’s something to hopefully help you laugh. I thought it was funny.
