Does anyone else have mild to moderate anxiety and/or mild to moderate deppresion?

I prety sure im not the only one... I guess i want to talk to others that feel this way as well. And maybe others that did have this and have gotten through. Words of hope would be nice...

For those who might not be sure if your in the same boat, well here i bit for a descprition of these.

Mild to Moderate Anxiety
Symptoms
Overworry, Fatigue, Irritability, Tension, Agitation, Insomnia, Poor concentration, Dread.
Your level of affectedness by anxiety and panic is not severe but strong enough to affect your life and your person on a regular basis. You tends to let things get to you. You are an over reactor and you're probably very emotional. You're sensitive and take things personally. You're a worrier and a "what-if" thinker. You might have a hard time being assertive, especially with certain people. You probably don't manage stress well. You may wake up in the early hours and worry about the little things?

Mild to Moderate Depression
Symptoms
Despair, Depressed mood/Flat feeling, Hopelessness, Fatigue, Indiffrence, Guilt, Low self-esteem, Poor concentration, Lack of motivation or energy.
Do you secretly suffer but hide it masterfully? Would friends and family be shocked if they new what was behind your warm, friendly smile? Maybe you can hang out with friend, coaperate with colleages/classmates, Get good grades, do everything you need to do, but in the inside you a pit and you just can't find your way up. You don't even feel like trying. Are you afraid of burdening others?

Not alone. Is that all you're asking?

Neko you are a bitch and stop commenting if it is just if it just bull shit like this, and yes yukina-san you are not alone, look at my post, and ignore Neko because he is a freak, who doesn't deserve to be this website

Bahahah
Let me rephrase that then
This is the internet. People won't get what you want unless you clearly say it.
I'm sure >>1 already looked at other posts and realized that she's not alone already, but she made this threat, so she probably has something else she wants to ask

this is where people go for advice, do you not see the personal sign, or are you that incompetent? It is truly fun talking to you.

Hmm I wonder
All that sarcasm aside, Yukina-san, no one is ever truly alone in this world. Even eccentrics have people similar to them so you're not alone.
If and only if you truly are depressed, no words of assurance by other people will be enough to rid you of the problem.
Techniques like meditation might help, I suppose. Just don't get your brains to overheat and frantically search for solutions, cause that's just gonna make it worse. Relax relax and relax. That's how you get through the day.

also, some teas are relaxing, look into that, there are a lot a of aroma therapy things you can look into, if you do want to relax

Oh one other thing: there's usually a misconception for depression and anxiety.
It's not that there are too many problems that get you down, it's a few basic problems that are buried under everything else.
So if you're calm then you should know what they are. Hardest part is figuring that out.

You're not alone. I get depressed everytime I walk into my room and realise how many sex toys and sex dolls I have lying around.

Wait, what?

First assignment: be relaxed enough til you can laugh all these comments off as a joke
Simple right?

Bump

@Neko XD ya i guess
@

@Holo the Wise Wolf ...well shit

@Murphey I do this quite a lot but relaxing wont really help the problems of life... But thx for commenting!

Yes! Actually I think I'm having one of those at this point in my life. I wouldn't claim to be depressed, anxious maybe, but never depressed. However, I do get a little down in the dumps sometimes, but I always pick myself up.
I don't know if there is a proper kind of advice to give you, because you and I are two different people. What may help me, may only make things feels worse for you, and vice versa. But I'll just put in my two cents, so take it anyway you'd like:

I get very anxious about the slightest things. I like surprises but I hate when they're not planned. I like stability and tradition, because it is something I can return to without fault. But I strive for change and evolution. I'm an anxious person about the stupidest things (particularly social instances) and yet when there is drama or turmoil or I get stuck in a bad situation I'm stable and calm. Doesn't make sense, nothing makes sense. I don't think it needs to make sense. We feel the things we do and we can't really change that, so whoopee.

Idk if it helps, but having a firm idea of who you are and who you want to be really helps with both mild anxiety and depression. That image of your ideal self allows you to see yourself as tangible, something amazing in the near future that can be attained. You can be the better you if you want to. (Ugh, this sounds like one of those self empowering seminars). For instance, when I'm *mildly* depressed, I usually have a moment of, "Oh shit, I'm sad." and it usually follows as:
1. What is making me sad?
2. Can I change it?
3. Will what is making me sad change with time? Is this a temporary sadness that can be fixed in a couple of months?
4. If it is a time sort of sadness, how long will it be until what is making me sad goes away?
5. Is that time too long or is it reasonable? Because shit, I don't want to stay here.

For further example, right now I'm feeling pretty lowly and dead inside. I'm perfectly fine financially, academically, physically, etc. But if I were to be honest, I feel like I'm separated from the here and now and not appreciating what is present. /Cue emo mode: I'm really dead inside and I don't feel a thing. My situation is that I'm unhappy with where I am in life and where I see myself in the near future (eh, like 5 years tops). I have no idea what I'm doing in life.
Solution: get the hell out of here and stop wasting time and money. So that's what I'm doing. I'm getting the hell out of this college and moving to another one, changing what I'm studying into something I want to and know that I will enjoy in the near future without a doubt. Will it be hella rough for future me? Yeah, probably most likely for sure. Will I enjoy the fucking journey? Yeah, I fucking will.

As for anxiety, I don't think I'll get over that. I mean, I keep a card with tallies of "Wins" and "Losses" where I overcame my anxiety. It's pretty neck-n-neck at the moment, but I haven't even tallied up the recent losses. So...whatever. But I think as long as you strive for that image of your ideal self and push yourself to be the best you possible, it all works out. It's those moments when you do overcome your anxiety, that makes it feel like you're some sort of superhero. But overcoming anxiety doesn't get easier at all. If anything, it gets harder, and you have to be stubborn and beat that little fucker into the ground. You can't be a slave to that little shit. You beat him up and carry his limp corpse with you and show everyone how fucking rad you are. You defeated an enemy that you can't even see.

But that's just how I see things. I want to look back in those 5 years of near future and say: wow, I had an interesting 5 years...
instead of: wow, there is no difference and I'm still lost as where I am in life and who I am as a person.

But who knows. Idk what I'm doing, but it sure feels right.

If you're wondering if there is hope from the other side (not Adele), then yes, yes there is hope. So just keep walking through your nasty ass hell and when you get out, turn around and say thanks and keep going. You can do it, you're not alone. (/o'A'o)/

>>14
Wow... I like how you handle things... Thanks, its great to know that others will actually take the time to help someone they don't know. I'm glad... Thank you.

FUCK, I WASN'T THE SECOND POST. Man, what I wanted to say would only sound good as the second post.

>>1 No, you're all alone.
