To answer your question Joeetaku, It is mostly the urban lifestyle where i have problems with having any friends whatsoever or getting out there. In the city I have a few friends. Maybe its just the fact that i'm unreliable as i'm always in two places.

Hi everyone. So I live halfway through houses so that means i live in 2 places. I live with family (urban) and with friends (city). At the moment i'm with my family. Tonight i haven't been really happy, I've been sitting online all night (It's 9:50PM here) and all i've been doing is getting worked up about how i have no friends or anything here. I've been sitting on facebook getting angry and jealous while i see everyone else having a great time. It almost makes me feel not good enough or like i'm doing something wrong. I used to have a large group of friends here and we'd all hang out. It's Friday night and i have nobody. I feel so un-needed whenever i'm here. How do i approach this? I can't seem to turn my thoughts into something positive so it's making me go crazy with anxiety. Thanks heaps guys. - Bry

Thanks rainbow! Very nice outlook of medication. I'm definitely open to trying it. It's just a bit scary, as the side effects for younger people seem to be much more severe. And everyone takes the medication differently. But i'm looking into it. Thanks again.

Thanks guys! I just got back from the Psychologist. (I actually had to look up what her profession was before posting this because i almost always get psychologist and psychiatrist mixed.'' and we had a lot of talk about anti-depressants. She said i may be too young, and younger people are especially vulnerable to bad side-effects such as s*****al thoughts or actions. We viewed all of the different types of medications together and how they come to effect. We also looked at side-effects and a lot of it was very scary for me. She said i could see my GP for a prescription for anti-depressants but i didn't want to just go on a limb and try them. I decided that I'd instead go and see a psychologist for a more thorough diagnosis. My session went really well today, i came out a lot happier than I've been in a while. As of yet, I'm still unsure about medication as it does seem a little scary. Especially for my age (19) But i'm looking forward to what the psychologist has to say about my situation. Thank you everyone for your advice and kind words

I had a doctor i was getting a long with really well for a long time, but she moved. It actually really kind of upset me because she definitely put me in line. And gave me a lot of insight to how i should look at myself and what i'm going through. Thats so terrible sorry to hear. I do definitely do that a lot. I always worry about what other people think. And i always feel like i need to impress them or be liked by them. I know most of my problems, it's definitely just how to fix them. Thanks heaps for the reply

Hi all, I'm due to see my psychiatrist tomorrow and I've been thinking about medication. I'm scared of medication because i've been told so many things through the years from friends/family. I just wanted to know. How does it make you feel when you are on them? How does it effect your emotions and what exactly is it meant to do? I've heard stories about people feeling absolutely nothing whilst on them (no emotions). So i'm afraid. I know i can ask my psychiatrist tomorrow but i'd definitely love more of an insight from others who have taken medication. Thankyou -Bry

Hello everyone! My names Bry I'm from Australia, I'm 19 and yeah. I've been dealing with anxiety/depression since i was around the age of 13-14. It was a lot easier to deal with back then. Now that I'm 19 i started getting more and more mental illnesses such as OCD, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, General. The one that has the most effect on me is definitely the health anxiety. I'm constantly worried about my health, always thinking about it. So it never goes away. I almost always have ''symptoms'' they're usually the same and never really change. I've seen more than 15 doctors this year. I've had numerous scans and hospital visits. Most of my doctors visits etc revolve around symptoms such as breathing, throat, lungs sometimes brain. I see a psychiatrist every few weeks, and we've been doing a lot of exercises/breathing techniques, therapy. It's been nice but I feel as though none of it is working. I live in the past a lot, and I've been abandoned by someone I've loved. All I ever think about is how much better things were in the past. My life is definitely not that crazy. I don't work so there's a lot of free time for me to think about how I'm going to die next lol. I don't study, I don't really do anything. Anxiety has caused this great big storm around me and i can't seem to find my way out of it. I lack motivation and I'm afraid of people. What i'm looking for in life right now is a way out. I don't want to be tortured any more. I need to find the light in the dark. Thanks for reading. I hope to talk to some of you - Bry
