I feel sad and really nervous all the time...?

in the past 3 years ive been feeling sad alot, and i have no motivation. And lately the simplest things make me so nervous! i was in class and i was asked to read and i was internally freaking...shaking, cold, heart beating like crazing, shortness of breath, forgeting words, and i just felt so scared. i dont know why. i used to always be a bit nervous but never like this. I need some help. I fell so sad already and now this new nervousness makes me extremly sad, and i dread everyday...

I am sorry you feel this way, I do too a lot of the time. It sounds like you are having a panic attack, or anxiety attack. I have them alot. It could also be social anxiety. You need to go to the doctor and talk to him about what is going on with you and how you are feeling. There is a lot of medication out there to help people who suffer from these conditions. Unfortunately I was allergic to all the medication, except Klonopin, which is for anxiety. I really understand what you are going through, I have been dealing with this for years,and it seems like when things start getting really tough in life, the symptoms only worsen and I get more panic attacks. I really hope you can find a solution to help you with this. Good Luck.

I am really glad you told your mom, that is the best thing you could have done. Things will be looking much better for you real soon sweetie. Report It

Do you have any friends? Maybe your aloneness makes you feel, sad, depressed, and scared. Just relax. Think of your life on the good side. =)

you should visit a specialist

depression

If you are under the age of 18 it is normal. When I was 16, 17, I would have horrible black depression. Very dramatic, and not at all enjoyable. By the time I was in my senior year it was already better. It is hormonal and nothing to be concerned about unless you are the kind to try to off yourself. Screw that. The same things that are making you go nuts are also the same things that inspire creativity. You should make art while you feel this way. The famous Russian writer Dostoyevsky commented later in life that it was the years that he was at his lowest and in emotional turmoil that were the best years of his life because this was his peak creative period. It's hard to think like that now, but in retrospect it will be clear. In the meantime....Make Art!!!!

Maybe you are just lonesome.Talk to me. shortylynnthompson@yahoo.com. I'm available at work on internet.

dude, dont feel bad. go to the hospital. the psyce care unit is full of ppl who help you. i went for depression and it helped me. but it sounds to me like your only overly nervous.

You are obviously depressed not in a conversational way but in a very clinical way. I would suggest therapy and possibly medication under the supervision of a competent psychiatrist. Get some help right away three years of your lie is too long.

DEPRESSION:

I believe that depression is caused from getting caught up in a vortex of negative thinking patterns where one can seemingly find no help, no hope, or no cure for what ails them. Depression is a disease that feeds upon negative thoughts. The very things we fear begin to manifest into our lives. I do not believe medications are the answer to curing depression. Boosting our own self-image and changing our thought patterns from negative to positive are the answers on how we can learn to manage or cure depression. This can be done easily enough, once you understand how, and it can be done by yourself, without expensive therapists or meds. This is my suggestion, and I sincerely hope it helps you. I know it has helped me tremendously with managing my own depression. It has to be done on a daily basis, or the depression will return.

Depression and anxiety are results of having false expectations of what you think life should be but probably never will be in reality. It is anger turned inwards. Are you truly depressed? Then set a challenging goal for yourself, commit to reaching it, and work harder than you have ever worked before in your life to reach that goal.

Take a product called Happy Camper, two capsules daily. You can buy this at an herb store. It works well on depression.

Take a homeopathic remedy called Anxiety Formula or one called Despondency.

Take a homeopathic remedy called Mood Fix.

Eat a couple bananas daily as they contain tryptophan.

If you suffer from depression as well as grief take the homeopathic remedy, Ignatia Amara 30X.

Take a brisk walk each day out in the fresh air. Do NOT look down at the ground while walking, but look off into the distance.

Keep a positive mental outlook as much as you possibly can. The Bible says, "As a man thinks, so is he." Proverbs 23:7

Don't blame others for your problems. Our own thoughts are what creates our lives.

You can change your negative thought patterns if you want. Your thoughts will manifest in your life. This has been scientifically proven with research.

My Totally Free Course, Change Your Mindset And Change Your Life can help you do this, so that within one month's time you can tell a big difference in your attitude and your own self-image.

Remember, just because suicidal thoughts enter your mind, does NOT mean that you have to take action on them. I am convinced that depressed people do NOT want to kill themselves. They just want some relief from their emotional pain. Being depressed is like being in the pits of an emotional hell every day. It is not possible to just shake it off, like some people think. No one would stay depressed if this could be done. But you can learn how to control your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

There are some good sites online that offer depression help through learning self-hypnosis. I have tried hypnosis and it gave me complete relief for several days. EFT on my main self-help links page also helps. Check out the water and sea salt cure towards the end of this page.

Eat 1 cup cooked spinach every day.

Eat apples with milk and honey every day.

Eat cashews every day.

Take one to two grams of asparagus root powder in capsules once daily.

Drink lemon balm tea.

Eating foods rich in the vitamin B complex, such as whole grains, green vegetables, eggs, and fish helps restore vitality and cheerfulness to an individual. The diet of a person suffering from depression should completely exclude tea, coffee, alcohol, chocolate, soft drinks, white flour products, sugar, food colorings, chemical additives, white rice, and strong condiments. The diet should be restricted to three meals. Fruits can be taken in the morning for breakfast with milk and a handful of nuts or seeds. Lunch may consist of steamed vegetables, whole wheat bread, and a glass of buttermilk. For dinner, eat a green vegetable salad with bean sprouts, alfalfa seeds, mung beans, cottage cheese, and a glass of buttermilk.

A person suffering from depression can overcome it by being more active, turning away from himself, and diverting his attention towards other people and things. The pleasure of achieving something overcomes distress or misery.

Exercise also plays an important role in the treatment of depression. It not only keeps the body physically and mentally fit, but also provides recreation, mental relaxation, and is a natural tranquilizer. Exercise also tones up the body, provides a feeling of accomplishment, and reduces the sense of helplessness.

Depression cures are something that must be done daily, or it will return. It can be controlled by learning how to boost your own self-image and stop thinking negatively about yourself and others. Use positive affirmations daily.

A depressed person must learn the art of relaxation and meditation which will go a long way in curing depression. He must gain control over his nervous system and channel his mental and emotional energies into restful activities. This can be achieved by ensuring sufficient rest and sleep under peaceful and quiet conditions. Meditation will help create a balance in the nervous system. This will enable the hormonal glands to return to a correct state of balance and thereby overcome the feeling of depression.
