Totally- sometimes I feel like I shouldn't go in there without a chaperon! I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. (which sometimes I'm not completely sure of) Over time I have learned to recognize anxiety/depression as symptoms and that helps me to detach myself from the dark feelings. The mind is complicated- sometimes it plays tricks.
I started taking a very low dose of Depakote 6 months ago and its helped...
maybe try an activity that takes you out of your head, like yoga, or exercise (running) drawing helps me. sometimes just watching something funny on TV helps.
My daughter has OCD and suffers from the same type of wanting to escape feelings. I'm not sure what kind of help you have sought - I would see a psychiatrist - if you already have I would see another one, and another one until someone is able to help you.
i have the same thing i was diagnosed with anxiety and deprression and i take medication fore it now. i still sometimes get this feeling i thnk the best way foward is ur doctor, medication and a therapist. and to do something in life you enjoy thts how i see the end to all this rubbish i hope u sort it out xxx
It can be hard to find a good psychiatrist, I've seen some mediocre and some destructive ones. You will find someone, the right one to help you with this and ease this suffering. Don't stop looking til you do.
yes i feel exactly the same way- i dont know the answer
I am frightened i will forget how to breath lolz...and i think about things too much..maybe try meditating im not sure how to escape this but id try going somewhere in your head that you enjoy.
I am
I've been anxious for most of my life with dark thoughts
I've gone to doctors who turned me away saying basically to "get over it"
Sometimes I'm afraid one day I'm just going to give in and start listening to the voices in my head.
I'm in therapy..but so far that's not working much..
I do wish you better luck though..
