Not to sound too invasive on people’s privacy or anything, but does anyone here suffer from depression or general anxiety disorders? Can you tell me what the main indicators were st the start? If you don’t wanna answer in public forum can I get a pm maybe? I don’t trust the opinions of people around me cuz I’m a natural cynic I guess.
Not asking for a friend, asking for me :) Just trying to get help here

I'm pretty sure everyone has anxiety to a certain extent. Life is really fucking hard and comes with no manual. Depression is tricky I don't know if I have really ever had it. Not seriously atleast. But from my experience depression comes from loneliness and not valuing what you're doing in life.
I had server panic attacks and depression from being in an abusive relationship. The thing with mine was that I didn't realize that all of my side effects (heart racing, dizzy, racing thoughts, then really sad, lonely, etc...) were coming from stress and being in an overall shitty spot. Luckily, my doctor recognized the signs and put me on a low dose of medicine and asked me to stay on it for 6 months. This made all the difference. I voluntarily attended therapy, too. After 6 months the panic attacks were gone and so was my asshole of an ex. Doctors have a little survey they can do and they will discuss your options with you. On another not, practicing gratitude, even for the little things (like slaying a frooks, wink wink) helps tremendously. You are such and awesome person and I know that there are people in your life that love you and care about you. Keep that chin up, listen to your heart, and if you think you need to talk to a doctor...just do it. :) ILY
maturo thank you for being genuine :) Mattyc964 that was the most honest think I’ve heard so far and check and check tbh. Thank you so much man! brittbritt you’re such a gem, thank you for being so genuine and giving such a loving yet normal story! Ily and thank you <3
I've had social anxiety for most of my life tbh. It's very hard for me to enter rooms, approach people, and start conversations with others without overthinking the situation. I never realized I had it until I had a really bad anxiety attack in school.
