depression or anxiety

came up to go to bed and just felt restless and bad. I usually watch tv or on computer for a while. And i feel so heavy, sinking like. I know we get like that when we are tired but it seems weird. I feel like the darkness is going to roll me up in a blanket and take me away. Is it impending doom? am I sensing something? or is this my anxiety trying to take me on an ugly trip. Maybe i am saying these things because there is no one to talk to. I am too cut off from things or is my body starving for rest and relaxation?? I am starting to yawn now and am not as scared. I almost see myself hovering over the middle of the room. I am going to try and lay down now. I am sad about a lot of things. Failure as a wife and Mom. Seems like I fight being burdened everyday. A few tears now but thats a good expression. i am going to try sleep Be positive about the next day. I am so thankful for these boards

Well . . .I know for myself when I am really exhausted all I want is it to have a good nights sleep. Personally, I think depression and anxiety run hand in hand. When you are not feeling sad about something you are ususally anxious for one reason or another, correct? By any chance are you on any type(s) of meds?

No I am not presently on antidepressants or anxiety meds. I keep thinking I will exercise more and avoid meds. I am not achieving that goal. I have wanted to go back in therapy its been a few years but not accomplishing that either. I use to take antidepressants and had zanax on hand.

I am not a Dr. by ANY means, but I think it's time you go and see yours.

Julie, I totally agree with seeing your doctor and trying meds/therapy again.
