But at night. I always feel a sense of fear that something might happen to me and there is no one to take me to hospital . I get heart palpitations and nightmares.

Have you talked to anyone about this? Could be PTSD? There is a med for that, it helps a lot of people with PTSD induced nightmares. It’s called prazosin but you would have to be seen by a provider for proper diagnosis

No, I don’t think I have any disorder as such.

By the way, I had just thought of posting a poll here for depression.. and you made this thread.

Question is open to everyone willing to answer and I haven’t been able to tag.

I'm the OP. I have depression and terrible social anxiety disorder and mild insomnia. Even generalized anxiety disorder, though not to the same extent. I've had panic attacks too, though not to the same degree.

Mirtazapine works for my depression, social anxiety and insomnia. Thankfully no benzo. I've also started cognitive behavioral therapy. :)

I was bullied heavily in my teen years and had terrible social anxiety (to the point of having a panic attack every time I saw a person near me). I also struggled with my sexual orientation, and coming from a religious/conservative family and society didn't help. Also issues with religion as I am borderline atheist/agnostic.

Those might have contributed but pretty sure they alone do not 'cause' it. We do not yet know what causes them and all are mere hypothesis. Pretty sure I've had problems from beforehand.

I hope things get better for you soon❤️

So sad to see so many people struggling.

I don’t have an disorder as such but yoga helps a lot with daily stress for me. I would recommend you to try, I think it does help with mental health.

PS -Once you tag, you cannot untag unfortunately.

I have had severe anxiety and depression for over a decade. Didn't take any medication until two years ago.

This is because for the past two years I've been suffering from severe PTSD. I am also receiving cognitive behavioural therapy.

How often do you do the cognitive behavioral therapy? I've very recently started it.

Hey yoga pretty much changed my life. I am lazy as f*ck so don't do it regularly, but trust me, when I do it, I can feel the difference. Actually any exercise works wonders for me.
