The one I love is going away for a really long time, so I'm slowly trying to wean off them, so to speak... I'm rather attached to them. But, I still can't help feeling numb and depressed at the same time. I haven't been in school for 2 weeks because of some weird virus, and I've missed 2 days this week because of this along with my paranoia... It seems like everything's going out of control... I can't take it anymore... My heart hurts (literally), and I don't know if that's my heart condition or everything clouding my mind... Here's my basic question: How do you get over depression and anxiety, and keep them from taking over your life? ._.

Time really does heal alot.

I've had to wean myself off a loved one before when they moved 30 min.s away. >.> I still see them 4-5 days out of the week but I use to sleep with them. I miss there warmth at night.
Try to read or go out with friends or family. Anything to get your mind off it [I know you may not feel like it or want to] But it does help.

Right now I find myself asking the same questions. Find something that takes up a bit of time, whether it be drawing, writing, or some kind of class. Being active also seems to help, even if it’s just for a few minutes a day. I mean things like working out or going for a walk or something like that. I have to force myself to do something like that, even though it only seems to help only for a few minutes. I do hope that things get better for you though. Just try to think of things in a positive manner.

How do you get over depression and anxiety, and keep them from taking over your life? ._.

Your question has no easy answer. Ultimately time will help you, but you do need to do something in the meantime. Sitting at home thinking about this is about the worst thing you can do, especially since right now you're powerless to change it. If it were a situation where you could prevent the move, I'd suggest something else, but for now...

Exercise. It sounds silly, but getting active and increasing your heart rate does help release chemicals in the brain to help deal with stress. I know you don't want to because it hurts so badly right now, but you've asked how to get over it, and this helps.

Keep your mind off from things. I am not saying you should fall into a void of avoidance. That's quite unhealthy. All I mean is that you shouldn't let your pain be the focal point of your day. There is so much more to life, even if it feels like what's been ripped away is the biggest part.

Try your hand at reading and writing, keep going to school the best you can. Any and all distractions right now may help. You need something to keep you occupied while time does it's slow and painful job.

Best of luck. I hope things get better for you.

My paranoia is the only thing keeping me from school. I was scared when I went out today (though I managed to do it!) with my case-manager for a drink. Even yesterday, I just wasn't myself when going to stores with my dad... Then again, our car was broken, so that gave me more to worry about ^^". Anyway, I'm going to try to keep distracting myself for now, and come back to read the advice I get as time goes on. For now, I'd just like to thank everyone for their suggestions- I'm going to do my best to get through this, and your help is much appreciated. ^^

You're very welcome. I hope you can find your way. Remember that bad days are completely allowed in all this.

I'd hope so, considering I'm having one today xD

I advise simply waiting it out, since trying to detach yourself, even a little bit will end up hurting you in the end, of course, I can't really say much since I have a very vague grasp of what you're going through.

Perhaps a distraction? Hang out with other friends, and please note that I said "distraction" and not "replacement" because people keep thinking one means the other and end up fucking up a perfectly good relationship. Anyways, good luck with all that, and if ou ever feel like talking about anything, I'm always open to help people.

I would say you need to pay attention to the following,
Im not an expert but I can tell Depressive disorders make you feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. You should realize that these negative views are part of depression, and typically do not accurately reflect your life situation. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect. Psychotherapy, especially cognitive psychotherapy, is specifically designed to change the negative thinking associated with depression.
Do not set difficult goals for yourself, or take on additional responsibility.
Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.
Do not expect too much from yourself too soon, as this will only increase your feelings of failure.
Try to be with other people; it is usually better than being alone.that is what a lot of people already said.
Force yourself to participate in activities that may make you feel better. yes force yourself unluckily you need to start.
Try engaging in mild exercise, going to a movie, a ball-game, or participating in religious or social activities.
Do not make major life decisions, such as changing jobs, getting married or divorced, without consulting others who know you well and who have a more objective view of your situation. In any case, it is advisable to postpone important decisions until your depression has lifted.
Do not expect to snap out of your depression. People rarely do. Help yourself as much as you can, and do not blame yourself for not being up to par.
Remember, do not accept your negative thinking. It is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment.
Get help from a professional. No matter how much you want to beat it yourself, a psychologist can help you recover faster, but if you cant afford it or something just read what I listed above and I hope you are feeling better soon.

Depression is like a leach, a leach is a blood sucking thing and depression is like that as it sucks out all the life in you. If you are feeling like that then seek help as soon as you can. As soon as you are diagnosed and are getting help and treated correctly then the sooner you will start feeling better about yourself and the situation. Try talking to someone you trust, be it a teacher, parent or close friend that you know will listen and will take you seriously. Ask them to take you seriously and then take their advice if any decent advice is given. Try to entertain yourself by writing, listening to music, walking or chores around the house. This will get you out of your slump hopefully and you will hopefully regain some energy. Also during this time make sure you eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Diets play a huge part on how we feel and water helps to flush out toxins and things. I really hope that you feel better soon.

You can fight the depression. If you go to your doctor then it's most likely that you will first get refered to a counseller and then if that doesn't seem to be helping then they put you on anti-depressants. The best way I've had depression descirbed to me was by my head teacher she said that when your depressed it's like being in a hole where you can see out but it's scary to try and pull yourself out and it's scary to go deeper into the hole. I suffer from depression but I've managed to work through it even when it is really hard but if you have good friends and family who will support you that helps alot. You just have to try and stay posative.

With anxiety if you can find out what makes you anxious then you can start working on ways to try and keep yourself from getting in a state. I also suffer from anxiety as well as depression and I know how hard it is to try and deal with both depression and anxiety. I managed to give myself and anxiety attack the other day. If you do find yourself having a anxiety attack/panic attack then the best thing to do is to hyperventilate(sp?) because this slows your heart rate down because you are breathing in carbon dioxide but don't hypervenitlate too much otherwise you'll pass out. It might be as well if you go and see your doctor to ask if they can suggest anyways of dealing with anxiety or you can look up ways on the internet.

I've had a hard time and I've been through alot but with someone who will stand by you no matter what and support you it makes getting through everything alot easier.

Sometimes if you're hurting the best thing to do is wait it out. Unfortunately, a lot of the time there is nothing you can do because obviously this is an emotional time for you. If you really care for him just try and keep in touch. You can always write and e-mail.

If you're depressed, which sometimes does happen to me, I find spending time with my friends really cheer me up.

And about mrsa...it's scary and honestly I would advise you aginst going to school, especially if your school is infected. I'm freaking out about it. :(

This person that you love, I assume they are gonna be moving..or going to college or whatever...anyway (if the feelings are returned from them) they are probably going through the same thing you are, and to them they are not just losing you, but all their friends and the area that they call home. Try talking to them even though it is painfull...and if you cannot do that...well I suppose as everyone else is saying it takes time to heal the wounds of the heart, I know that all too well.
