Those with depressive/anxiety disorders?!
Question: Those with depressive/anxiety disorders!?
I am a 23 yr old guy!. I have been diagnosed with this for a few years now!. I am good about taking my meds regularly!. My question is, do you ever feel like at times that you are losing it or are feeling "flaky," like you want to just start all over in life or not stick stuff out--just out of the blue!. I feel this way sometimes, as far as the thoughts coming into my mind and I just ignore them and try to go on!. I know it is irrational thinking and if I let it get to me, I will end up doing wishy washy stuff and pissing off and hurting people that I don't mean to or would ever want to!. I was just wondering if anyone else ever goes through this!? It isn't hearing voices like a schizophrenic would- it is more like compulsive thoughts that just kind of pop up and keep on popping up in my mind, almost like getting a very similar text message a whole bunch of times in a row!.
