I never would have guessed that I'd be so miserable at this stage in my life when I have so much going for me. Then again I guess I'm only really thriving in the professional and financial realms of my life. I've dealt with anxiety and depression for years but college (both the social and academic aspects) distracted me from it. Now that I don't have that anymore it's just me and my inner turmoil face to face. My anxiety is off the charts, i haven't felt this uncomfortable in my own skin since I was in middle school.
have you looked in to getting some help?

Is there any psychotherapist or psychology students on here that know about dream analogy? Been having similar dreams every night for the past 6 ears since when my problems started.

Always fist fighting every night. I think it comes from an internal battle inside me. Everything feels like a fight. Also a lot of dreams about being arrested and running from police. But these things aren't just happening in dreams they've also happened a lot in my real life. Fist fights and beiin trouble with the police.

There's definitely an internal struggle inside me.

Also that same struggle wherever it stems from is holding me back from growth in life. Ive stagnated and am now at a point where im not moving forward at all and all attempts to move forward it's like I'm dragged back by this thing.

You can see it in my face. I haven't matured like the people around me and I still look extremely young. Its like I just don't age at all.

Im seeing two cbt therapists at the momen but it's no point. All they are focusing on is getting into a routine. Ive been in many routines a lot of positive routines and it's never gotten to the root of my problems. Just like a distraction and to see how long I can keep up said routine before my problems catch up with me again.

I want to attack the root of the problem not avoid it by keeping myself busy.

The closest I've gotten to actually getting to the root of my problems was by taking mdma and talking to a friend. Ive never felt such freedom and ability to communicate freely about my problems. I'm thinking about getting hold of some mdma again and just sitting down with my family or friends and attacking the problem. But I'm also on ssri and they diminish the effects of mdma because they both work with the serotonin

I've had debilitating anxiety for years with bouts of depression that range from overwhelming sadness to completely dulled emotions, apathy, and lack of enjoyment in everything. I was at a good place last year as my depression lifted and I felt great. but the 24/7 anxiety was still there. Then I took some antibiotics and my depression came back with a vengeance. :mjcry: I've found some good stuff for my anxiety that focus on lowering the stress hormone cortisol. For anyone experiencing anxiety figure out if it is at least partially caused by stress.

I wouldn't call myself a bum because I try but by societies standards I am. I get seriously depressed about jobs and careers. I have a sickle cell beta thalessmia and literally have a small speech impediment.

I should have a PhD simply for being so limited in terms of what I can do physically nut instead have a shytty associates.

I get depressed beyond belief, rarely happy and pretty much hate most my family.

I'm holding on but its rough, I guess I see things differently when I'm older rather than younger.
