Every time I see a doctor I get the report of the visit. For awhile now they list "depression" as one of my ailments. I don't really know where they got that or who started it.
I do have a ton of anxiety. Panic attacks etc. But I don't feel like I'm depressed. To me depression is that feeling of being suicidal. Not me. All these doctors know I have a sick husband who is draining every last kernel of energy from me. It worries me that he is sick and that I don't feel adequate to take care of him all the time, but I am not depressed. (He still does many things for himself).
So what is the difference between anxiety and depression?
