Anxiety or depression?

Depends on why you work. Because its what you love to do or to give you money to do what you love.

I recently started seeing a psychiatrist, and I was scared also.  But afterward, it was ok.\nThey ask you about your history (drug/alcohol abuse, prior suicide attempts, any medical history {blood pressure, diabetes etc} and if you have ever seen a dr before and if you have what did they do for you).  Then they move on to how you are feeling right now, and how u have been feeling in the past few weeks.  If, for example in my case, you have depression, they will ask you abuot when it started to get worse, what seemed to bring it on, how often you are crying, etc.  If its anxiety, they'll ask you anxiety related questions (what makes it worse, better, how frequent its occuring, etc)\nI wouldn't be too scared.  The more scared you are, the harder it will be to wait for the appt. and the more likely you'll cancel the appt.  Just relax. They won't talk about anything that makes you terribly uncomfortable at first if u dont want to.  My dr is great.  She lets me choose the topic now that I've gone a few times.  Its nice to be able to get somethings out in the open and deal with them.  \nWish you tons of luck, hope all is well!

I would guess anxiety/panic attack.  I was physically ill also for quite some time before my last attack.  The E.R. doesn't deal with mental health issues very well; they're always looking for a physical cause.  I'd suggest while you're waiting, seek the advise of a councelor who deals with mental health in your area.  Please don't wait long though, as anxiety can snowball and get out of control without help.  Good luck to you, and I hope you let us know how things work out.

You may have a more serious anxiety problem. Speak to your doctor about it.

Honey, you need to see a doctor really quickly.  This is depression and anxiety all rolled into one.  Please go and see a doctor as quickly as you can.  Ask your folks for help, speak to a counsellor.  There is no need to feel this way, just reach out and ask for help.

perhaps admitting you have a problem and calling your doctor. Sometimes you cant help but feel depressed and have anxiaty (?) It may be a chemical imbalace. Might not have anything to do with you directly.

"Mentally ill" is a strong lable, and not very comforting. Depression is an illness, but very treatable. Talk to your Doctor, you may be treated thru talk therapy or medication, or changes in diet and excersize. You deserve to enjoy your life - please get help so you can start asap!! You are not alone!! Good luck!

Yes, and depression can also cause stress.  It's kind of like the chicken and the egg question.  If your depression goes on for any length of time maybe you better see your doctor before it gets out of hand.

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.

i've battled bouts of depression for years.this weekend i figured out that i probably should live in a warm climate in the winter, because from the holidays until the weather starts getting warm i just hate everything.   it took years to figure this out.  but sit down and try and feel why you are so down.  if it's not because of what is going on in your life, it could be something chemically going on in your brain.  and there are meds to help that.  just tell your doctor .  i know my doc gave me a couple of books to read about life,etc. and a prescription.  i analyzed myself and i think i know what the problem is now.  next step is what can i do about it.?  as much as i'd like to i can't go to florida every winter.  but i can make it a goal for myself.  please talk to your doctor.  especially if something is going on in your life.  doctors don't judge you.  they are there to help you.
