Hi Bárbara! I watched this a few days ago and wanted to share with you that I've had that feeling too after coming back (from the US etc.). I've had 'mental health problems' in general, but just that feeling of being crippled by fear of everything is something I've experienced once and could recognise very clearly from your behaviour and account. I am sorry that you feel that recurrently, it must be terrible. I wanted to reassure you that you're not alone in that and suggest that it might not be a 'disease' in the sense of something that has stricken you randomly - although I'm sure you rationalize that out yourself -, that it might actually have something to do with our shared experience; it seems to me other people from RCN have experienced it also, but perhaps it's not more common than in the population in general. I feel lucky I was never diagnosed with depression, though I did get diagnosed with 'psychosis disease' and am taking clozapine for that still. Today I'm doing and feeling well if that gives you any hope - although I don't have a conventional 'job,' and am living with my parents; I honestly feel like I would do worse if I did/didn't. Wish you the best until later.
Thank you! It always helps to know I'm not alone in this and I often wondered if RCN was were everything started. Depression and perfectionism/high achievements do tend to like each other... Your comment truly gives me a modicum of hope. Strangely enough, being so open to the internet at large has had the effect of 'reconnecting' with people from various stages of my life - and so far, all were kind and hope-bringers :) So thank you, and the best to you too, Victor!
I used to have depression too. You’re not alone 🫂🖤
