like a right of passage but really it's:
Painful
Hurtful
Life Altering
Suffocating
motions of so much rush in and your control on keeping them at bay falls short
you try your best not to show off the ache but it gets overwhelming
almost like you are being swallowed whole by the pitfall of it
this grave state of mind you become in golfed in it's the worse as anything could be
for you it's not just 1 thing but memories or thoughts tin to shape or warp your thought process
different levels in Depression is different to fully explain for me
Why? because I myself get Depressed we all do in someway or form
I was Depressed at a point I didn't want to live in this world
my past was all I held on to and hopping for better appeared to be climbing out of a grave that there's noway I was able to no ladder was that high and no rope was long enough to reach out to me
I posted about this because it's a feeling I know myself so I'm not just talking about it
everyone is different in so many beautiful ways but yet each share a doubt every now and then
this is what I found off the net and hope it might help for someone to realize any form of problem whatever it maybe sometimes it's there own well that will get them out of it
other times they need another to help them with baby steps
nothing is wrong with having help we all need help now and then we always will
try to lie to yourselves that you can do all the things alone your emotions that never need to open up to anything God, Family, Friends, Work, Talent or Gifts you may have everyone has the right to be valued as what we are
there are to be honest more then I realized types of Depression
looked it up and found this:
Major Depression ///"major depressive disorder." You might have this type if you feel depressed most of the time for most days of the week.
Some other symptoms you might have are:
- Loss of interest or pleasure in your activities
- Weight loss or gain
- Trouble getting to sleep or feeling sleepy during the day
- Feelings of being "sped up" or "slowed down"
- Being tired and without energy
- Feeling worthless or guilty
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of suicide
Your doctor might diagnose you with major depression if you have five or more of these symptoms on most days for 2 weeks or longer. At least one of the symptoms must be a depressed mood or loss of interest in activities.
Talk therapy can help. You'll meet with a mental health specialist who will help you find ways to manage your depression. Medications called antidepressants can also be useful.
When therapy and medication aren't working, two other options your doctor may suggest are:
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
ECT uses electrical pulses and rTMS uses a special kind of magnet to increase certain areas of brain activity. This helps the parts of your brain that control your mood work better.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
If you have depression that lasts for 2 years or longer, it's called persistent depressive disorder. It used to be known as dysthymia.
You may have symptoms such as:
- Change in your appetite (not eating enough or overeating)
- Sleep too much or too little
- Lack of energy, or fatigue
- Low self-esteem
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Feel hopeless
Bipolar Disorder
Someone with bipolar disorder, which used to be called "manic depression," has mood episodes that range from extremes of high energy with an "up" mood to low "depressive" periods.
When you're in the low phase, you'll have the symptoms of major depression.
Medication can help bring your mood swings under control. Whether you're in a high or a low period, your doctor may suggest a mood stabilizer, such as lithium.
The FDA has approved three medicines to treat the depressed phase:
- Seroquel
- Latuda
- Olanzapine-fluoxetine combination
Doctors sometimes prescribe other drugs, such as lamotrigine.
Your doctor might not recommend an antidepressant for this condition, because it carries a small risk of putting you into a "high" phase. Also, there's no proof from studies that these drugs are helpful in treating depression in people with bipolar disorder.
Psychotherapy can also help support you and your family.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Seasonal affective disorder is a period of major depression that most often happens during the winter months, when the days grow short and you get less and less sunlight.
If you have SAD, antidepressants can help. So can light therapy. You'll need to sit in front of a special bright light box for about 15-30 minutes each day.
Psychotic Depression
People with psychotic depression have the symptoms of major depression along with "psychotic" symptoms, such as:
- Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there)
- Delusions (false beliefs)
- Paranoia (wrongly believing that others are trying to harm you)
A combination of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs can treat psychotic depression. ECT may also be an option.
Postpartum Depression
Women who have major depression in the weeks and months after childbirth may have postpartum depression. Antidepressant drugs can help.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Women with PMDD have depression and other symptoms at the start of their period.
Besides feeling depressed, you may also have:
- Mood swings
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Trouble concentrating
- Fatigue
- Change in appetite or sleep habits
- Feelings of being overwhelmed
'Situational' Depression
This isn't a technical term in psychiatry. But you can have a depressed mood when you're having trouble managing a stressful event in your life, such as a death in your family, a divorce, or losing your job. Your doctor may call this "stress response syndrome."
Psychotherapy can often help you get through a period of depression that's related to a stressful situation.
Atypical Depression
This type is different than the persistent sadness of typical depression. If you have atypical depression, a positive event can temporarily improve your mood.
Other symptoms of atypical depression include:
- Increased appetite
- Sleeping more than usual
- Feeling of heaviness in your arms and legs
- Oversensitive to criticism
Antidepressants can help. Your doctor may suggest a type called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).
She may also recommend an older type of antidepressant called a MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor).

okay braking down the but they commonly occur together
Panic Anxiety of it all and sharing a few thoughts I have of my own
Depression is different from Panic Attacks and Anxiety
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Panic Attacks can occur with no obvious trigger and awaken you from sleep. As with a daytime panic attack, you may experience sweating, rapid heart rate, trembling, shortness of breath, heavy breathing (hyperventilation), flushing or chills, and a sense of impending doom. These signs and symptoms are quite alarming and can mimic those of a heart attack or another serious medical condition.
Although nocturnal panic attacks usually last only a few minutes, it may take a while to calm down and go back to sleep after you have one. People who have nocturnal panic attacks also tend to have panic attacks during the day.
Criteria for diagnosis of panic disorder
Not everyone who has panic attacks has a panic disorder. For a diagnosis of panic disorder, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, lists these points:- You have frequent, unexpected panic attacks.
- At least one of your attacks has been followed by one month or more of ongoing worry about having another attack; continued fear of the consequences of an attack, such as losing control, having a heart attack or "going crazy"; or significantly changing your behavior, such as avoiding situations that you think may trigger a panic attack.
- Your panic attacks aren't caused by drugs or other substance use, a medical condition, or another mental health condition, such as social phobia or obsessive compulsive disorder.
It's not known what causes panic attacks or panic disorder, but these factors may play a role:
- Genetics
- Major stress
- Temperament that is more sensitive to stress or prone to negative emotions
- Certain changes in the way parts of your brain function
Some research suggests that your body's natural fight-or-flight response to danger is involved in panic attacks. For example, if a grizzly bear came after you, your body would react instinctively. Your heart rate and breathing would speed up as your body prepared itself for a life-threatening situation. Many of the same reactions occur in a panic attack. But it's not known why a panic attack occurs when there's no obvious danger present.
Complications
By Mayo Clinic StaffComplications that panic attacks may cause or be linked to include:
- Development of specific phobias, such as fear of driving or leaving your home
- Frequent medical care for health concerns and other medical conditions
- Avoidance of social situations
- Problems at work or school
- Depression, anxiety disorder and other psychiatric disorders
- Increased risk of suicide or suicidal thoughts
- Alcohol or other substance misuse
- Financial problems
*my thoughts on this is that no one is excluded from anyone of these factors it's how we choose yes but sometimes making the best decision on you could make at that time still can lead to having to deal with the outcome that your mind your heart is strong yes but still you have to face head on a Attack from something that is bad and leaves you sadden by what's going on
I started having Panic Attacks when I was a preteen it felt like my heart was beating so fast to fast
I didn't know anything about to do but I was also very Depressed and at those times
Life and Death was a game I didn't want to play it no longer
like I said the past in golfed me so my thinking was in the past not to the further
when you are in that mind set hope praying joy happiness
those become a foreign notion of what really isn't on your plate
neglected feelings you hide them away or become uncontrollable to others based off your random outburst
the tear's infect you as you fall deeper into what you see noway way even when your mind tells you logically your heart is left with that of your emotional triggers that creep up as much as you might be the best at weighing everything out pro vs con of the issue when your heart is hell pint on ruling
Anxiety
Symptoms of anxiety attacks include:
- A feeling of overwhelming fear
- Feeling of going crazy or losing control
- Feeling you are in grave danger
- Feeling you might pass out
- A surge of doom and gloom
- An urgency to escape
- Dizziness
- Palpitations
- Trembling
- Sweating
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pressure or pain
- Turning pale
- Feeling detached from reality
- Weak in the knees
- Burning skin
- Pins and needles
- Hot and cold flushes
- Numbness and tingling sensations
The above anxiety attack symptoms can be accompanied by:
- Choking sensation, tightening throat, it feels like your throat is closing, it feels like something is stuck in your throat
- Confusion
- Depersonalization (feeling detached from reality, separate from one-self, separate from normal emotions)
- Derealization (feeling unreal, in a dream-like state)
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, unsteadiness
- Emotional distress
- Emotional upset
- Inability to calm yourself down
- Knot in the stomach, tight stomach
- Nausea
- Panicky feeling
- Pounding, racing heart
- Butterflies in the stomach
- Sudden urge to go to the bathroom (urinate, defecate)
- Vomiting
- Feel like crying
Anxiety attacks symptoms and heart attack symptoms can seem similar because their signs and symptoms can be similar. But most medical professionals can quickly tell the difference as heart attacks have distinct symptoms that aren’t anxiety-like. If you are unsure of which is an anxiety attack symptom and which is a heart attack symptom, seek immediate medical advice.

Symptoms of Severe Anxiety Feel Very Scary
While some people think of anxiety
as an uneasy feeling in the pit of their stomach or the fear they feel
when standing atop a high building, severe anxiety symptoms can be much
worse and downright terrifying. Symptoms of severe anxiety can create
the feeling of a heart attack or even make you feel like you're dying.
Perhaps the anxiety disorder best known for severe effects is panic disorder. A panic attack
can create severe anxiety symptoms in a matter of minutes and patients
are often rushed to the Emergency Room because they feel they are dying.
It's important to remember though, panic attack symptoms typically peak within ten minutes and then begin to fade.Physical Symptoms of Severe Anxiety
Anxiety is not just about feeling anxious – it is also about the
real, physical symptoms caused by an anxiety disorder. The deep fear and
anxiety of a person is reinforced by severe, physical symptoms of
anxiety.
Psychological Symptoms of Severe Anxiety
Intense fears of losing control, going crazy or dying are common psychological symptoms of severe anxiety. There are additional symptoms, though, depending on the type of anxiety disorder.Post-traumatic stress disorder can produce symptoms of severe anxiety including:
- Psychologically reliving the traumatic event
- Overreacting with intense fear to anything reminiscent of the traumatic event
- Feelings of a shortened life
- Looking for and seeing danger everywhere
- Overreacting with fear when startled
Behavioral Symptoms of Severe Anxiety
Behavioral symptoms of severe anxiety often take the form of avoidance. Because severe anxiety symptoms are so terrifying, people will do almost anything to avoid feeling them. This might include:- Not going to specific places
- Not seeing certain people
- Not having specific experiences
Other severe behavioral symptoms of anxiety include those seen in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People with OCD become obsessed with ideas such as:2
- Contamination
- Safety
- Order
- Doubt
- Washing of hands until the skin is raw
- Picking of skin and hair around the face until there are open wounds
- Being unable to leave the house due to repeated checking of things related to safety such as turning off the stove
