• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Was just wondering what is a good option if I am so anxious and depressed everyday i think suicidal thoughts constantly but am not in a crisis situation exactly.... I am waiting for my counselor to be reassigned and going to look into getting CBD oil(the legal kind) but other than that I'm just not doing anything to fix the problem. I bet no one ever knew social anxiety could cause suicidal depression but I think that's the root. I feel like I really really can't deal with people. I tell my bf and friends and stuff but I don't think they get how bad it is. It' only getting worse the more I am around people the more stress and down I get.

I've tried self help cbt I'm bad at it. I feel like I got too many other problems to deal with socializing and it's like Everytime I go out in public other people are an extra Hassel. Their mean comments and expecting me to smile and behave a certain way to fit it. I just feel like I'm going crazy everyday in society.

Any proactive things I can do. I am tired of feeling overwhelmed just because of socializing.

Sorry you're going through this but you can always pray to Jesus, He is our best friend and He can help you with everything. You can also message me anytime if you want. God bless you and Jesus is Lord.

Check your magnesium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels. A simple deficiency in those three things can create anxiety, depression and irrational fears.

Love your neighbor. Love the strangers that you encounter every day. Theres really no getting around it. Because if you are irritated by them, you either have to avoid people which is impossible. Or you can embrace people and all of their flaws and quirks. You can't change the world, you can't change people. You can however change how you view others. Practice loving kindness towards others and it will work wonders in how you view people.

Are you seeing your doctor and taking your medications?

Perhaps your nervous system is overtaxed and causing you this stress and resulting symptoms. If so, perhaps you need a little more quiet time by yourself, to help let your nervous system heal. There's nothing wrong with being alone for awhile....see if there is some relaxing activity you might do like crafts, painting or just listening to some nice music.

Most importantly....have a daily quiet time of reading the Bible and prayer. The Psalms can be very comforting and healing. I also love reading The Beatitudes in Matthew 5.

Also, as another poster mentioned, make sure your B and D Vitamin levels are good, and also have your thyroid checked. All can be found out in a simple blood test.
