hi.

i'm going through a bout of depression right now - which always scares me.

i keep worrying what if this never goes away, what if i'm sick, what if it get's worse, what if i end up in the hospital ... i feel just sick and hopeless and so alone.

anyone else feel this way? will it eventually ease up?

thanks holley. much appreciated.

i think you've responded to a few of my posts before.

i think you had mentioned you suffer from pure o - ocd? i do too.

my ocd is pretty good right - as i'm finally seeking treatment after having this for 15 years, but i don't really understand what brings on bouts of depression.

i get so upset and scared to be honest - when i'm feeling like this.

Hi LiJe,
I felt the same way last year. I've got almost every known symptom of anxiety including awful depression. I understand how you feel, but this shall pass. Don't give up hope. There is a way out, but don't fight your feelings, just give yourself enough time and be patient.
Kind regards!
Gery

You are not alone.

I know it's been several days since your last post. I hope you are feeling better.

People like us with anxiety are very creative by nature. I think that is why we are always asking ourselves "what if...?"

Try to use that question to your benefit. What if I do feel better? What if have a great day today, and a great week?

All the best!

i just wish i could have more days like this and be able to control my anxiety/depression more. it's frustrating.

thanks for your concern.
