I'm playing on going to a psychologist on the 28th. But I was hoping to get some opinion here before I go.

For the month of July and end of June I've been struggling with severe anxiety. I've been up for the last 48+ hours simply because I can't sleep. When I do sleep, it can barely be considered a nap. While never diagnosed, I've regularly struggled with anxiety for a decade and a half (started around 12 years old). But lately it's the worst it's ever been and I can't get out of this funk. I can't stop my mind from racing, I can't help but imagine my life heading to a worse case senario and what I'm going to have to do when it happens. It's all I think about and I'm just exhausted thinking about it constantly.

Now I don't know if this can be considered depression. It's not what I imagine depression to be, but from what I've read anxiety can be linked to depression. I'm not really sad, not anywhere close to self harming. I have a chronic health condition and it does result in me basically being a hermit. I've heard opiates can cause anxiety which I'm prescribed for my condition. I do take them as prescribed though.
