So I don't know if I'm depressed or anxious or what. When I told my doctor how I'd been feeling she used the words depression and anxiety to me, but I'm confused. Lately I've just been really irritable and snappy with everyone all the time! Usually I'm one of the most laid back, easy going, always happy people but not lately. I think I've had PCOS since adolescence and I wonder if it can all of a sudden just get worse? Sometimes I get so worked up that I just cry myself to sleep or just quit doing everything for a day because something happened, usually just stupid little stuff. A couple times I've been so worked up that I felt like the world was closing in on me and I couldn't breathe. What mostly bothers me though is how short tempered I've been with everyone could this be part of depression or is it just me? What's wrong with me and what can be done to help me?

Hey, thanks for your comment! Took me a while, I've been wicked busy with school. The only thing my dr. has put me on is bcp's which I think is causing me to be this way in the first place. I told her how I felt and all she did was change the pills around, but it hasn't helped yet. I hate feeling this way, and having people talk about the "old Erika" or tell me I haven't been myself lately. I'm just like, yeh I know, sorry. It's also bad because I have no motivation whatsoever for school or any of the things I'm supposed to be doing. It's not good.
