Depression/Paranoia/Anxiety?

Does anyone have that trio of issues? How do you deal with it? I feel like the anxiety and paranoia feed off each other making them both worse for me.

Yes I do. I agree. They feed off of each other

I watch something funny or talk about something else til I get my mind off of whatever is making me freak out.

How do you deal with it? I won't be able to get back on medicine until the end of next month probably.

Just one day at a time. No meds. And when it gets just that horrible I just keep telling myself that as soon as I go to sleep it will be a new day and a new chance. I wont lie, it doesnt always help but most of the time it helps me through it.

I can't do that.   It will be all consuming. I can't read or watch tv. It's just THERE. Then I start freaking out more and more.

Mine used to be like that but I've learned to shut it out and get lost in something else. Took yeeeeeeears, but I've been dealing with it since I was a kid.

Highly medicated(when not pregnant). I'm bipolar type 2 and have Borderline personality disorder plus PTSD. Without my meds the anxiety and depression are horrible. I don't leave the house much and when I do it is very hard to go to big stores or where large groups of people are. Also thinking people are talking about me and what not.

Yes, I do. They do feed one each other. I take medicine, but when I can't. I do my best to keep my mind busy... playing with DD, video games, cooking... anything I can do to stay busy.

I have a lot of medications I take. I stay home (I know I know it isn't good but I have a panic attack multiple times out in public) I have 10-15 panic attacks a day when I stay home anyway. I have alot of diagnosises. And they keep coming. I've been in the hospital 3 times one of those being the state facility. All that being since July 2011. Last time I was in the hospital was from April to September, 5 and a half months. I go to therapy. I use my coping skills. I have been involved in dialectical behavior therapy that is focused on borderline personality disorder but it also helps with anxiety and paranoia and depression.

I do!
I have three prescriptions I have to take.
Fluphenazine an anti-psychotic
Effexor an anti-depressant
and Ativan an anti-anxiety pill
