Is it Depression?

Question:

I've had a lot of anxiety lately, and that's nothing too new. But lately I've had this thing, it's like a weight in my chest and upper abdomen. It makes me feel tired, sad and heavy. I don't think it's physical since I can move around and do things fine. I also have a little anxiety with it sometimes. It's fairly unpredictable and lasts between 10-20 minutes tops.

Anyone know if it's depression or just anxiety?

Answers:
Panic attacks, caused by depression and anxiety, may be to blame. They seem to be mild since you can function during them but I would still suggest seeing a therapist. It can be dangerous if you are driving or something and one comes on. A psychologist may wish to put you on medicine such as Xanax.
Good luck.

You should talk to someone about it . If you like to talk you can add me at need-help-with-life@hotmail. com

Things like that can be a side effect of benzos. Benzos like xanax and vallium can cause addiction. If you take those, its possibly the cause.

Maybe it's anxiety 'cause it sure doesn't sound like any symptom of depression I ever had or heard of. A doctor would be best for figuring this out because it could be something else entirely. We thought my husband's fatigue was "Turning 40 Blues;" but it was cancer.
