Utterly lost, suicide thoughts

In an oversimplified answer... Depression is what makes one "flat". Losing interest in everything around one. Anxiety on the other hand is what makes one go wild with negative thoughts. Fear, stress, deep emotions over imaginary potential events.

As I said... The above is an OVERSIMPLIFIED answer (and from a non-professional but a patient of both depression and anxiety).

 

If the person have both situations then?

 

Then one has a comorbid condition that needs to be treated differently than anxiety or depression on their own.

I am suffering such situations...

 

It sounds very much like anxiety to me and you should be treated for it. I found comfort in a very low dosage of benzodiazepines but you better have a word with another therapist and explain to them your condition as you do it here. I hope your job does not involve using machinery. They tend to make you a bit sleepy (depending on the dosage) AND they ARE addictive. Whatever dosage your therapist might suggest (and depending on the pill as some are way more potent than others) I would start with no more than 1/2mg (diazepam) and see how that goes. It takes about 30-45 minutes to start acting and then you have to take it every day at the same time. If you do only 1/2mg (diazepam) you can take it whenever you feel the tension rising (but only ONCE a day) and you can skip taking it with no major withdrawal symptoms.

I can give you more information if you get a prescription from your therapist.

 

Go to a psychiatrist, get a prescription for anxiety and we'll go through it together.

 

They put my mind at ease. They slowed it down. Not too much (because of the dosage) but they helped me relax. You can say that I thought less, I panicked less, I hurt less, I spiraled less, I worried about stuff less.

I haven't dropped them yet (actually I've been gradually increasing the dosage because the problems due to external reasons kept multiplying) but when you decide to do it you do it VERY gradually. I believe that the tapering off benzos recommended is not more than 10% per day but you could do it at a slower pace to avoid withdrawal symptoms altogether.

 

It doesn't match up, if your scared.

I would listen to CakCy and get professional help. Something, just doesn't sound right and it won't hurt to talk to a professional therapist.

You shouldn't feel nervious, it could be the pot. I would take CakCy advice

 

Three, maybe four years. I was in depression and then shit started happening to me so I started taking those to relax. To get an idea read my story in my signature.

 

Practise conscious breathing.. Bring in the good energy, let out the bad. Take showers everyday, write down 3 things you're grateful for each day and compound gratitude feeling, read holy stuff... Leaving 1 addiction and going to another...if you do please consider short term.. I used benzo for exactly 2days to get my sleep and boom i never touched it again in my life....i didn't have to taper off or anything. These are serious medication...

 

benzos is short for benzodiazepines.

You have to stop your mind from spiraling. You can try doing it with relaxing techniques (meditation, breathing exercises, repeating a mantra to yourself etc.) or with medicines. You can also rant here. Let steam out. Even if what you say is incoherent. Reading back your thoughts may help you relax. (PM me if you want to rant in private) I chose the medicines way because I was too impatient for anything else...

I'm really glad you are doing better. If you can manage to control your emotions without medicines you are doing yourself a favor.

It is more than alright to just sit and enjoy little petty stuff in life. For a while. You need the rest. And then off you go for your next goal, your next aspiration. You will kill yourself trying to conquer the universe in one step AND overnight!!!
