is depression part of anxiety?
| Thu, 12-08-2005 - 6:14am |
Hi all I know this sounds silly, of course some depression is a part anxiety, But right now I should be on top of the world my son is home from Iraq, it is my favorite time of the year Chritmas and nursing school is going well so what is my problem, I am fine in the mornings and then by 2:00pm I start feeling down like I lost my best friend, I have only started feeling this way this last week. I am usaully a very happy go lucky person I take 0.5mg of zanxa Twice a day and have been for for 7 months, should I talk to my dr. about an increase or is it just a thing of not having to worry about my son in Iraq anymore? I know I hate feeling this way. like I am depressed. Any advice?
Thanks lynn

Lynn I find that the holiday season alone brings on depression for many people and then goes away after the holidays.

Judy I would of though that also, but I have a blood sugar monitor and it is ok, I do have borderline Hyertension and I do not excercise hardly at all,so yes I will start that, any suggestion on start out inside it is very cold here right now and something low impack might be the best, sorry for so many question!! Exams have kinda of wore my brain creativety to a null.You do not know how much I apreciate your input. You are right on the hoilidays, expect this is my favorite one, I will also talk to my dr. too. Thank you so much. Oh and I have 2 chachulas also, can't spell it, but a deer ch and standard long haired ch. They are great!!!

I have to agree with Judy that this time of year can be a trigger. Not just the stresses of holidays, but the decrease in sunlight. There are some on our board who use the special lighting because of *seasonal affective disorder.*
Research has shown that depression & anxiety go hand in hand. I have often thought that I forever am trading them back & forth. Anxiety ok. Depression not ok. Depression ok. Anxiety not ok): Kind of an up & down type of living that sure isn't fun. I will post an old poll that will tell us how we stand, Lynn. It's always reassuring to know that we aren't alone in our feelings. Sending PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan
Thanks Jan You all are such wonderful people and just the mere though and assurance I am not alone is more than I can express thanks so much.
