Just an update. Derealization is becoming an issue. I noticed it happens a lot when my anxiety is there. I've come to the conclusion that in the past while my anxiety has had an effect on my life it was always associated with something that i didn't enjoy aka a shitty job/shitty house/shitty...

I don't quite understand, you actually SAW this couple watching you as you slept? Racing thoughts I think is just part of anxiety. As soon as I calm down and don't feel any anxiety things feel normal again and I can think/focus normally. That's the thing with anxiety it's a completely primitive...

I agree. This is why I've always been against pills. There hasn't been any history of depression/mental illness in either my mom or dads side of the family (as far as they know). I remember actually when I was 13 sitting and talking to my mom and all of the sudden it's like she seemed really...

Saw Earthlings that was pretty disturbing.

I don't understand how the brain just suddenly stops producing seratonin just by a change in your thoughts.

Because I've heard stories that pills cause really bad side-effects/don't work and let's say they do work, then I'll always have the thought that it wasn't actually ME who got through the problem it was the pills. If something like this happens again do I have to go through the same old cycle...

The problem with these things is that there is a condition for every symptom out there. Other than delusions/hearing things it sounds a lot like anxiety/depression. The problem I'm facing with is HOW can I got back to my normal self. I really hate the thought of being stuffed with pills...

That's what I thought and I was able to get through it on my own. The thing is, if it's a reoccuring thing, pushing it back may not be the correct thing to do. I mean it makes sense that talking about it brings it up to the surface but wouldn't eliminating the problem at the source be the...

lol sorry guise

Yup. You're going through the exact same thing I am going through to the T and it helps that you know exactly what I'm talking about. But also it sort of brings me down to know that you are still experiencing the derealization/depersonalization part. I have felt this stuff before but I always...

I just want to hop into this picture and spend a weekend here:

I've had worse depression/anxiety than this, the difference was that I knew what caused it and when I did things that used to make me feel better I still felt it even at my worst (very slightly but I knew it was there). This time it could be just because things sort of suck right now, school is...

I circled the part on the wall where it looks like a side profile of a nun(Mother Theresa?)

I'm not in denial. I know I'm depressed it's just a different kind of depression that i've come across. I can't see a doctor until next week (i'm tied up with school at the moment). Also, I've always been against the idea of meds but if they are prescribed to me I'm certainly going to give...

This is what is posted on my schools website that leads me to believe that they have some sort of credentials but again, I'll ask anyway. http://www.sheridanc.on.ca/services/student%20support%20services/counselling%20services.aspx

The thing is I can function normally like go out, do assignments and stuff but i'm just feel "flat" all the time. I don't even panic anymore even. It's just like somebody sucked out emotion from me. I don't understand it because I literally felt fine like last month. I definitely will see...

Well, I scheduled an appointment to see the school councilor (not sure what her credentials are) but I really don't know what they can tell me that would help. I got myself out of anxiety/depression state before and have been trying to use the same techniques in this situation but it's not...
