My anxiety is getting worse. I've no idea why since I had a reasonable weekend but even the pills doesn't seem to help.

The back of my hands are sweating, and I have to pee every 30 minutes.

I will get over this, I just hate it while it lasts.

Just 10 working days until my 3 week christmas holiday starts.

Feel like throwing up... and worried because it's 13:11 now where i live and at 15:00 i have to go to a very VERY crowded place :S (bank related stuff) i have to stand in a long row of people all alone just the thought of that makes me nervous. I can already feel the headache i'm going to get trying not to freak out while waiting my turn there.

I don't know. A mix of things. I'm excited to get my life rolling again, and I'm happy that I've gotten a bunch of important things done. I still have a lot to do, though, and I'm nervous that it won't work out. Here's hoping for the best!

Edit: Oh and uh, I forgot about the meds thing. I'm going to be enduring withdrawals until it's all out of my system. I screwed up and didn't pay two month's worth of copays, so they canceled my plan. Now I have to start all over again. It's my own stupid fault, yet again. I have no way to get meds, so it's cold turkey. I just hope I don't hit a deep depression like I did when I went off Paxil cold turkey. I'm going to exercise a lot to try and combat it. Wish me luck :sad:

Exercise does work wonders, it releases endorphins. Hoping it all works out for ya.

There isn't any state mental health organizations in your area that would allow you to stay on your medicine? I took a friend of mine to one a couple years ago. We went in on their screening day, and they got her on antidepressants, and gave her counseling sessions bi-weekly for free. I would definitely check around for that, it's a great resource.

Why, what's wrong, mate?

Everything, really. Anger towards myself, almost fully isolated. Feel that I can't do university, but don't know what else to do. Fear that if I don't manage university, thus building up my debt, I can't stay in my apartment and will haft to move home. Hateful of people. Feel that I don't have any place/don't work in society. Feeling hopeless that I'm not good at anything. And continuing from that, starting to see how time is running away from me. Lacking any energy, motivation or battle spirit. The sense of being stuck in a cell. Uncertain about my general direction in life. Trying to fight my urge to talk to family members, must learn how to deal with this myself.

I always feel depressed really, it's worse then usual now. I'm guessing it will go back to the average soon again, but I have been considering medication for the first time ever.

Feeling anxious as hell. I can feel it physically in my stomach and moving up to my chest.

Ive been facing my fears and trying to form friendships and relationships and I like seeing the growth but it is very difficult.

I am dating this girl that I feel so much for and Im constantly in fear of her deciding she doesnt want to talk to me despite everything she has done to assure me that she feels the same way about me. We currently are living far away from each other so it is like a long term relationship so that probably adds to it.

This girl is so understanding and comforting regarding my anxiety. I communicate to her that I'm anxious she will reject and abandon me and she does everything in her power to assure me she wont. She is even visiting me in a week. She lives in Bilbao, Spain and I live in Vigo, Spain which is 11 hours by train (trains are really slow here) and she is catching the train next tuesday to come see me then flying out to England to visit some friends. She has even sent me the receipt for her plane ticket out of Vigo to England without me asking or anything. Yet sometimes I still manage to convince myself that she doesnt want anything to do with me.

I am in a period of growth and I embrace it but it is difficult right now!

I finally asked my GP to give me antidepressants and was given 10mg of citalopram to start off with (will soon be given a higher dose)...I don't know how well this would work, so I'm very nervous about taking it.

Sorry tae hear that, mate. Things seem pretty stressfull for ya at the moment. Though, I can relate, the whole feeling hopeless/outta place and aw that, lackin' motivation and energy. I'm not great at offering advice but, if you think medication will help, with regards to yer depression, maybe you should take them?

Anyway, I hope you feel better, mate. :thumbup:
