    -Anxiety/Panic disorder
    -Costochondritis
    -Migraines
    -Asthma

    All of which are triggered by one or the other. The hard part is psychologically trying to control the anxiety and forgetting to take my meds.

    I've suffered with anxiety/panic attacks since I was 12. I was also diagnosed with depression at that age too, and went through hell up until age 20-21ish. I'm now 25 and have my depression under control although I still struggle with anxiety. I've been on numerous meds, I finally had enough of them and refused to take them. I've focused on making my life easier myself. I started to aim towards a degree (with open university) and started this journey to get fit and healthy. I found exercise beats any meds!
    I had a rough time at one point; self harming, having a Dr called out to me all the time, not leaving the house (even been scared to go in the garden).
    I'm no longer no where near where I used to be, but I know how debilitating anxiety and depression is. Anyone can friend me. :)

    Hi all,
    I was diagnosed with depression at 12yrs old after my grandpa passed away, after a couple of half arsed suicide attempts in my teens I got my life on track and manage my depression on a day to day basis rather than a life basis as it seems to be the only way I can manage it....

    I have a child with ADHD and he is mildly autistic so as you can imagine I have good days and very bad days but we all get there in the end :)

    I suffer with fibriods in my womb and ovarian cysts which can burst when they want so pain is a real issue for me, on bad days I will be on 20 painkillers and morphine and still be in pain.

    None of you are alone in what you deal with on a day to day basis we just all cope in different ways, anyone that wants to add me can by all means I will gladly support any of you through this journey as I hope you would do the same for me :)

    Lets kick butt together !!!!!

    I try very hard to stay positive but I do suffer from anxiety somewhat panic disorder but its gotten a lot better and I refuse to take meds due to me always panicing about dieing at any moment and my depression no longer runs my life. social anxiety has always been a battle but ive finally started winning a couple years ago. Like i said I really try very hard to stay positive but sometimes you *cant* help it and everything crashes down. It doesnt feel helpful at all when a person who doesnt go through anything like this to tell me everything is going to be ok. yeah.........i think Ill join a group on here lol

    I've been clinically diagnosed with social anxiety and depression.

    I've also suffered with kidney problems since I was 9 years old, which put me in a lot of pain.

    Feel free to add me, it's always helpful to have someone you can relate to.

    I have struggled with social anxiety and major depression since I was 12, and was diagnosed when I was 13-14. It's still frustrating to be numb for no reason, or scared to spend time with friends who clearly care about me. I've learned a lot of coping skills, some unhealthy, including emotional eating. And that is why I'm here.

    Add me if you're looking for a buddy! I'm pretty new to mfp and could use some people who know what it's like.

    This is clearly an old topic, but I was searching for depression on the forums because, obviously, I am dealing with a pretty severe bout of it myself right now. I was diagnosed bi-polar, but I don't really think that I am because it seems to only be caused by certain things and I don't have mania, ever. I get really super depressed though. I can't eat, all I want to do is sleep, and working out seems like the last thing in the world that I want to do. I have been in the current depressed phase since Tuesday. I have been working out hardcore for 3 months straight, lost 30 lbs, and then some *kitten* has the audacity to tell me I have cottage cheese on my legs. Compound that with my boyfriend being a total **** and totally being unsupportive, and we land here. I was able to push through the depression and work out and eat well until today. Today, I just can't seem to get a hold of it. :-/

    Feel free to add me! I have been dealing with anxiety for about five years and recently went through two bouts of major depression One because I forgot that you're supposed to Gradually come off your meds (I just stopped taking them when I felt better) BIG mistake. I know how hard it can be to get off the couch on a "bad" day but I found that working out gets the endorphins flowing and actually can turn a bad day into a good one. Hang in there!

    Depression, and it's one of the reasons I'm overweight. I don't like antidepressants so I eat. It's not really working so well for me! It's hard to break the cycle

    I can't believe I stumbled upon this today. I'm having a rough time lately. Depressed and no motivation. I have 3 herniated cervical discs that have been bothering me lately. I also need my gallbladder out and my insurance won't pay for it. Not that it would matter if they did because I can't afford the deductible anyway. My husband is an *kitten* and I'm just kind of over it all. I'm just not sure what to do about it all.

    I have anxiety/panic disorder and costochondritis. When both are driving me crazy it feels like my world is caving in.

    Same here! It is misery!
