Anyone else feel this?

[CatAndMouse]

i basically just want to know if this sounds similar to what anyone anyone else is feeling right now, or if my mind is just messed up and playing tricks on me. but for you, does the depression hurt?

i dont mean like normal pain as in like a head ache or anything, but mentally does it feel painful? does it make you want to rip your head open? does it make  you feel trapped, like theres a weight on you? it does for me, just wondering if im alone in this or not?

You're not alone, I understand what you're saying. It's as if your completely uncomfortable and need to escape from yourself but can't.

Hi CatAndMouse,

You are not alone, I have felt this too!
When I have spoken on these forums of the 'pain' I experience, it's not the same as the pain of a headache or the pain of a broken leg or something like that.

I usually have this pain when I'm having an anxious episode, it feels like a storm inside me and I want to run away from myself - no idea where I want to go, but I feel like I don't want to exist.

Really difficult to describe it to people. I have gotten weird looks from people who I've tried to explain it to!

It is a little comfort to know I am not the only one who has felt this.
