Constant sadness....doesn't go away!

[RYN079]

Hi everyone,

i am constantly sad, even when i am not worried, even when i feel i am ok, i feel sad.  This stomach discomfort i have, which sometimes turns into acid reflux is driving me nuts.  I am constantly thinking i am sick because of these feelings, sick like i am going to die!

I went to the doc yesterday and after a checkup he confirmed it is all because of my anxiety, but i am still very sad and feel i am going to die.

Haven't lost any weight, but even food seems to make me uncomfortable.

How i wish i was normal!

Deary RYn079,
I went through a phase in my life, where I always felt sad and doomed. My anxiety had affected my life so much that I was getting depressed, really depressed. I knew at that time that I needed some help. Therapy really helped me get myself out constant sadness. It was a combination of Therapy and Medication that helped me get out of that phase. I still have anxiety years later, but the constant sadness is now gone and I stopped the medication years ago. But I did need that extra help to even get to the point where I was able to receptive enough for my therapy.

First things first did the Dr. give you something for your acid reflux?  It's something that I suffered from and I take a 20mg pill each day and it works great.  Depression. (constant sadness), is difficult but I would reach out for therapy and perhaps a psychiatrist for med consideration. I know how it feels to have such sadness, it's painful.

Peace!

A psychologist client of mine has told me that it is a lot more difficult
for your mind to be happy than negative and said. He said that we all
need to work more on being happy and positive. He said it is sometimes
difficult, but it will benefit us both mentally and physically. He also said
that we should all do whatever is necessary in order to help ourselves
feel better and live more fulfilling lives.
