My paralyzing depression has morphed into an intense anxiety that I feel in every muscle. It's a physical feeling...a strong discomfort. And my head feels like it's filled with cotton or wool.

You are not alone. I experience these things too sometimes. Be well soon.

How long have you been feeling like this? Sounds awful.

Hello chat world !!! I'm listening to the radio. Feel a bit sick. I'm drinking alot of fluids. Also I think my nicotine spray is making me feel sick. I need to stop using it. Had a roast lamb dinner today that mum brought round. Low lighting in my room to help me chill out.

@Survivor3 I’m not much into football, but something about Super Bowl is always excited. Maybe it’s my love of food, .

It was a couple of days. Now it's just a very heavy depression...feels like I am under slabs of concrete. This has become pretty normal for me...........

I understand. I also have had really bad depression at the moment. It's been continuous unfortunately. Yes it becomes the normal state of mind. One of my medications was changed recently but the psychiatrist didn't want to change the anti-depressants aswell. I'm going to ask her again at the end of the month. Can you speak to a professional about how you feel?

Thanks for talking to me.

It's super complicated. I have no insurance and no money (like, $200 to my name). Trying to figure out how not to lose everything. Even if I had money, though, I'm not sure I could see anyone. I have/had a therapist, but basically told him I quit - which usually ends up being just taking a break - and he wasn't really helping anyway, except making sure I wasn't isolating to...well, this point. I trust no one...and the medical "profession" is at the top of the list.

Not sure what I can do...but I sure wish I felt better.

Your welcome and I understand. I've had a terrible time with the medical profession also. I recently got a new psychiatrist and am hoping it gets better. What's your support network like? Family/friends? I am very isolated also.

I hope your new doctor works out!

I actually don't really have much of a support system. There's my mom - she's 86 - and we talk every day. But she doesn't understand much about the depression. No real friends. My cats, of course.
