Are you anxious or depressed?

For me both, back in middle school through high school. I get over it by doing things like watching anime, playing video games, listening to music, sleep, etc. Before, some people wanted to help me but I rejected their help because I want to overcome it myself.

Always dealt with depression and/or anxiety (mainly social anxiety) for most of my life... It's almost a part of my personality at this point...cept I like to throw up the idgaf mask to cover it...

I've struggled with depression and anxiety all through high school . I still have some depression now in college but it's not as bad.

I've been depressed and anxious for about 5 years to be totally honest - sure I come across the vast majority of the time as the loud, bubbly fellow that people can talk to about almost everything but the truth is, is that I've been suffering from these things for a while and it's an incredibly shit feeling. And it's made even worse having to deal with mental disabilities, having to look after my mom a lot who's very ill with a potentially life-threatening issue, having a pretty nasty case of inferiority complex where I constantly compare myself to others and a lot of other nasty shit I have to put up with. I've braved it out for the last five years and I think did really well without medication or therapy but it's gotten so bad recently to the point that I'm really considering both therapy and medication. But even despite all of this crap, I'm trying to stay buff and tough and put a smile on everyone's faces because it makes me happy. What takes my mind off of these things though are mostly my hobbies and stuff I'm interested in - anime, gaming, working out, writing, talking to people and all the good stuff. Sure they aren't permanent solutions by any means but something as simple as playing an hour or two on a game like Warframe or Serious Sam 3 can really brighten up my day.

Been dealing with both for over 15 years... I've developed ways to cope but it still sucks any time one of them hits. When they hit, they hit hard.

hmmm I can say I do have anxiety issues. Like being in insanely large crowds of people. I also get nervous and anxious with new people who I havent gotten to know yet. I also tend to be anxious in a car mostly due to being in a hit and run accident once. I am not sure I have been depressed. At least not to the point of being deep in it. I also have a mix of ocd / addhd due to my syndrome.
