Anxiety

I'm struggling with Anxiety at the moment. I don't have ADHD, I swear. But I can't sit still in class... I just can't seem to stay still because it feels weird. I think I walk weird so I have to count with every step I take to get my mind off of the other people in the hall. The hardest moments is walking through my lunchroom, or just in front of big crowds. I'm constantly thinking of what others might be thinking... of me. I look in the mirror every time I can to see if I look okay, and each time a critize myself and just can't find one good thing about me though others say I look fine. When I'm sitting I have to sit a certain way because I know I look best like that. Its holding me back from so many things... and no matter how many things I try, its still there. I try counting backwards, thinking of something else... it doesn't help. My scurrying thoughts take over my mind. I know others here have it, because it is another side effect of depression... but how do I stop it? Any tips? Or if you over came it, how did you do it? I need help... and I think its time to ask for it.

Have you gone to your docter? I just think talk to him about it. Ive only just been diagnosed with depression and a anxiety disorder, But I havn't gone any further cause I wont go outside. So my best advice is to just tell your docter. Hope all goes well for you though =]

ADHD isn't the only disorder . . . GAD is a lot more subtle, I would visit your doctor, it's confidential and they will be able to diagnose you and provide you with anti-anxiety pills, or a counsellor/psychiatrist.

I do that all the time aswell. It's horrible.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I should tell someone. I told my my Pyhschatrist that I was struggling with Anxiety and she didn't really say anything... I don't think she thinks its 'that' bad, you know? I mean Its hard for me to express myself to someone, so its hard for people to understand what i'm really going through.

I already tried Anti-Depressants for 3months and they totally didn't help...

I hate being drugged up. It feels like its the only solution to problems these days.
