Often the symptoms occur with thoughts or images of being out of control or in danger, feeling overwhelmed, embarrassed or unable to cope. Feeling depressed Someone who is depressed may feel sad, ‘flat’ or lonely. Some people describe it as feeling ‘down’ or ‘blue’. They may be irritable or have feelings of guilt and may have difficulty concentrating or making decisions. Often when a person is depressed, they will have a negative view of themselves and see their future as bleak or hopeless. They may withdraw from friends, have problems sleeping and lose interest in activities and things they usually enjoy. Feeling anxious Anxious, stressed, nervous, wound up and panicky are some of the words used to describe feelings of anxiety. When some people are anxious, they may get headaches, a pounding heart, tense muscles, breathlessness and/or other physical symptoms.
