Depression and Being a Worry Wort

[polkagurl]

here's my story - i am a worry wort.
i legit worry about everything, anything to do with my friends or anyhting to do with my family like i said just about anything. its nice to go on a forum and just spill your life. i dont know if i have a case of depression though, the worriness does run in the family - when i am worried i cannot eat i cannot function and all i want to do is cry and not even bother with anything. i will never forget my grade nine geography exam - i had such a huge fight with the guy i like and i couldnt think if my life depended on it. if someone upsets me it takes over my life, i cant cope with it eaasily. what do you guys think i should do ? ive already been going for acupunctures and i am really a strong catholic. so i pray a whole lot but what do you guys to to easy of the worrying so it doesnt turn into stress and depression ?

If your worry is so serious that you cannot eat or function normally, then it sounds like you might have a psychological problem. Maybe you have anxiety? It might help to talk to a professional about how you're feeling and see what they have to say. You could attend therapy or maybe take meds if you do in fact have anxiety. If it could put an end to your worrying, then it's definitely worth a try.

therapy doesnt work because i dont need it - i tried it its like an inner problem type thing.
i have spoken to my guidence councillor before and yeah it doesnt work with this. i dont have a disorder or anything it just takes over at times

clearly you do have a disorder whether you'd like to admit it or not - your anxiety prevents you from functioning and carrying out daily routines. A healthy, well adjusted person is able to deal with anxiety and problems without the struggle you're describing. I think it's a shame that you're shutting out professional help before really giving it a decent chance. Finding a good therapist isn't easy, but I can assure you that once you find someone you have a connection with, it will benefit you in unforseen ways.
