> Sounds like you're having a lot of anxiety and depression and that you're getting down on yourself quite a bit, which is the depression. I would talk to you doctor about starting on an antidepressant to help treat both the anxiety and the depression.
From what I can gather from Pingles' posts, I would agree. It seems that the depressive and anxious feelings persist in the absence of changes in stimuli. Everything in the environment is the same except for the individual's changes in affect, outlook, anxiety, and functionality. It is certainly possible that, were there changes in the environment, the added stress could trigger a depressive episode. It sounds rather textbook to me. I don't think a competent psychiatrist will have any problem diagnosing and treating this condition.
