Re: depressed/anxious advice

You have to interrupt your own negative thought process. I know that sounds pretty dumb and basic, but letting yourself start that downward spiral of paranoid thinking just makes it worse. Being self aware and stopping before you've got the momentum going helps a lot. You can try the rubberband-around-the-wrist thing where you snap it lightly every time you want to discourage negative thinking. You can also try switching up what you're doing when the negative thoughts occur and have a pre set plan for what to do when that happens. Say that every time you start getting paranoid, you instead take a brisk jog around the block or do a dozen sit ups. Recite poetry from memory. Make it something physical and distracting.

If you find that you absolutely cannot do this (and it WILL take time and a lot of consistent effort) then it is absolutely time to consult a doctor and see if there are meds that can help. The other thing you can do is make sure you hang out with people who are trustworthy. Have you read Gavin de Becker's "The Gift of Fear"? Try it. It might help you to learn when those internal alarms are real and when they're probably not.
