[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 551368, member: 1550"] Honey, don't be ashamed or afraid to tell your doctor about your symptoms. They are just as important and real as if you were telling him/her about strep throat symptoms. There is NOTHING to be ashamed of. When one is in the throes of depression and anxiety (I speak from experience, see my signature) it is very hard to function. It's not your inadequacies...you are actually physically ill. Clinical depression is a physical illness and anxiety is it's best buddy, unfortunately. They go together. I have been at work with my hands shaking. I have been at work and suddenly gotten such a bad panic attack that I ran to the bathroom and stayed in a stall until I could calm down from crying. I have also driven off from work during panics attacks and gotten fired. I have left groceries in my cart when having a sudden panic attack while shopping...I was too scared to put anything back so I'd run to my car and drive home dangerously, blowing off red lights, just to get to my "safe place" which was at home with my husband. Do you get panic attacks too? On top of being in the dark pit of hello from depression, my panic attacks could come out of the blue and were so scary that at one time I rarely left the house. So you can pretty much tell US anything and you should tell your doctor about your symptoms too. medications and therapy were a tremendous help to me and still are. There is nothing wrong with needing medical help for any reason, including depression/anxiety. I understand how you don't feel like going anywhere or doing anything. I really do.
