Hello out there. I am a 52 year old woman who suffers from depession/anxiety/depersonalisation but no OCD. I would love to hear from anyone who has managed to overcome these debilitating illnesses. I have had quite a few months of being OK but stress at work and family problems have taken there toll. I am having my first time off work for some time. I just feel useless and that I am going mad. The world does not seem real when I feel like this and I just want to curl up and hide. Would love some cheering up and positive stories of how you did it.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks to Diane and Pipkin for answering it is so reassuring to know others out there. thanks
PS can anyone advise how to stop thinking about death/dying and kick it in to touch!!!!! It is driving me barmy. Always worse when I feel down. It doesnt help when you have a phobia about dying!!! You are all convinced I am a mad person now - hope not.
Cheers
Chris:)

Hi Chris, i just joined today hon, you are deffo not alone!!
I suffer depression and OCD but i too get anxious/panicky about getting not well and about germs etc, major part of OCD :( Believe me you're not mad at all hon!
Nice to meet you btw :)
Just read the blogs about fear of death. We must all have the same fears. Great to be with a load of same thinking people. We are all actually very sane - just think too much!!!! When I find out how to stop it I will patent it!!!! Stay strong everyone. Signing off for tonight. Sleep well.
