Relapse of Major Depressive Disorder/Anxiety Disorder?!
Question: Relapse of Major Depressive Disorder/Anxiety Disorder!?
Three years ago, I was diagnosed and treated for Major Depressive Disorder/Anxiety Disorder!. I saw a psychologist every week for a year and took anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication for that same year!. I did get better, but have been going through some very stressful life events lately (got a new job, moving, death in the family)!. I don't have to start my new job for 5 more weeks, so I've had the "luxury" of closing myself off from the world and haven't left my house in three weeks!. I stopped answering the phone and checking the mail!. I'm afraid that I am relapsing and can't imagine going through another depressive episode!. Can I get through this somehow!? Will it be as bad as last time!? Thanks in advance for your time and thoughtful responses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi!. You already know what got you out of it last time, so don't wait until it's worse to go get help!. See your doc and get back on meds, and into therapy if you can swing it!. Five weeks should give the antidepressants time to work before you start your job!. Putting it off longer is self-defeating behavior, you know, depression thinking for ya!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i hope it all works out good!. listening to music and hanging out w/ ppl will help a lot!. i might be as bad but who knows!. i rele do hope it all comes out goodWww@Answer-Health@Com
even things like this will make you feel better!.
i have also been diagnosed with both depression and anxiety!. I have been needing the same feedback from people and failing miserably!. Writing is a major outlet for me, along with (i know it's bad) smoking cigarettes!.
i spent months on end barely getting out of bed and cannot keep a steady job!. Im sorry i cannot be of more help, i just think it is nice for you to know that you-are-not-the-only-one!.!.!.i thought i was!. I hope you feel well soon, i know it is physically draining as well as emotionaly (obviously)
i am praying for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
