Hey Guys. I just need a little advice from you all. My anxiety has been improving a lot since my lexapro, no attacks, but have come close. Still no attacks is no attacks, and I am grateful for that. Before I started my meds, I was not depressed at all. I was actually a very happy person. You would think that because my meds are kicking in and I am not having panic attacks that I would be back to my old self and happy again, but that isn't the case. I seemed to have developed depression throughout this, and I dont know what to do. I am constantly unhappy, all I do is sleep all day, and at night I just linger online. I don't see my friends anymore, not even because they wont talk to me, but just because I dont want to be around anybody. I just realized, that all I used to do with my friends was drink or smoke pot, but now that I dont do either, I dont even like to be around people who do it. My whole life is changing and I am depressed to be alive, but fear death more than anything. Should I consult the depression board about all of this, or can you guys help lol. Also, I cant get rid of my depersonalization nonsense. I feel like I am always in a dream and that I am about to dissolve into nothing, does this make sense to anybody? I dont know Im kind of just rambling. I also wish it was Tuesday because I love the chats, they always make me feel better, but I hate fridays because I know that the chats are so far away lol. You guys, and my parents are all that I have left and you don't know how much your support and advice has helped and comforted me. Thank you for always being here to help, you are all such caring people. If anyone has AIM and wants to chat my screen name is Ksoup798,and my email is Ksoup798@hotmail.com. Thanks for everything/any advice.
Love, Katie

Blessings, Suz

It's good to hear from you, Katie. I am glad that you're getting some help by chatting with others. That's what we're here for. If you didn't already figure it out for yourself, the research shows that depression & anxiety go hand in hand. It's a fact of life for many of us, that we'll face depression sooner or later. Even when the anxiety has been going pretty good for me, I have felt really down. It's frustrating & has upset me @ times. I thought I was trading one for the other. But it does get better. Just never soon enough:)
Getting on with your life is possible. Depression is something you have to work with. It's a feeling not a fact. So you *can*
