I am so emotional alot of crying...
I know I am depressed and that the anxiety has triggered it. I have been struggling with this anxiety for so long. I have years where I am fine it is under control I am functioning then something happens and it usually over a period of time I look back and realize that I did see it coming but I just didnt have the tools to control the anxiety, stress, and then depression. I lost my job 7 months ago, was a very stressful job but my health insurance went as well. I have been so stressed out, then the anxiety hit and now I am suffering with depression, I cannot stop crying. Everything makes me cry is it loneliness I fear? Being by myself with these feelings of being out of control? I just don't know has anyone ever gotten to this point with the anxiety? I have terrible headaches daily, my neck hurts, I am emotionally eating, unable to concentrate, I hate this! I just started on my program and am hoping it will work.
Yes, I have definitely been where you are. The anxiety is so bad that you wake up feeling anxious and fall asleep feeling anxious (that is if you can sleep). When my anxiety is bad, I can't concentrate on anything. I'm so tired all the time but can't sleep. I cry all the time because sometimes I feel like I just can't take it anymore but I've actually found that crying helps make me feel better, even if it's just for a few moments. I'm guessing you are having headaches because you're so tense all the time.Originally posted by Dee68:

Are you doing the program? Are you taking any meds?
The only thing I can tell you for sure is that these feelings will pass. I know when I'm in the middle of a months long stretch of anxiety, I feel like it will be with me for the rest of my life but just remember, it WILL pass at some point.
