Triggering (OD) - depression and anxiety/social phobia

[nothing_but_regret]

does anyone else suffer from this combination? i feel like they feed into each other. depression makes it harder to be myself, be confident, interact with others, but my anxiety and social phobia makes me depressed because i feel alone and like i have no friends, like i am scared of every situation.

i find myself feeling like i want to OD or something just for people to care, but i don't think anyone would care cause no one wants to know me, so i don't bother because no one would care if i killed myself anyway. i hate this.

i think alot of people suffer both.~
as you say, they comehand in hand.
as the above says. therapy could help you immensly.
take control of the depressin and anxiety...do not let it control you!!

thanks for the replies

i am in the process of finding help. when i say no one wants to know me i mean, no one wants to be friends with me, i might as well be gone, no one needs or wants me in their life.

thats your anxiety making you think that.
you need to keep tellig yourself..
its unlikly that person doesnt like me..they havnt yet spoken to me..then build a convo n find similar interest etc.
its so so hard but you have to try find your confidence and self esteem.
once again taking control of the situation instead of letting the anxiety take control.
i dont know you personaly ...but i can say that i certainly would give us a chance to know each other....
