General anxiety disorder

It always looked like that my cousin Sean worried a lot and was a worrier. He often felt uneasy and restless he couldn't relax. At times it would come and go just like that, in seconds. But then it would be there constantly, series of thoughts and emotions. His behaviors wouldn't stop for hours even for days. He would constantly worry and for minor things "would he like the gift","will people like the shirt i have on." For him it became difficult to let things go and move on and would easily be scared. Restlessness and sleepless nights was his usual things. There were times when he would wake up middle of the night sweating and trembling for no reason at all. He was an active person but would loose track of what he was doing. He would read and forget he was reading. At time he would feel light headed and his heart would start pound rapidly. Just hearing his hear beat fast would make him worry more. Sean would always imagine things worse than they really seem to be. He often missed school and work, and it seem there is nothing he can do he would worry more when he misses both. Doctors told him they cant find nothing wrong internally and say that its stress.

Depression

I have probably suffered from a form of depression since I was about 16 years old. I felt my world was falling apart. My mother had just died and my father was a drunk. He was constantly in and out of bars and abusing me. During that time i was looking after my two little sisters one is 3 and the other is 6. When another disaster struck. I was rocking my 3 year old baby sister in the hammock when she fell and hit her head, my baby sister received massive head injuries and died two weeks later. I started to blame myself for my sisters death and was now feeling i was to blame for my mother's death. I didn't want no one close to me not even my other sister. I felt if she came near i would have harmed her so i kept to myself. My father would come home and tell me i was nothing and would degrade me. I felt i was worth nothing and would constantly cry for no apparent reason. All of a sudden i withdrew from my friends and what i loved the most my volleyball. I had no energy to do anything, and what made it worst that my father didn't care how i felt. When i turned eighteen i was constantly abusing drugs like Valium, marijuana and other antidepressant. Many a nights i would sit on my roof top contemplating suicide. I felt that if i had died no one would care or miss me. I had already dropped out of school and was heading nowhere and quite fast too. Because of past events and was abused. Now i am twenty two years old on medication in a rehabilitation center.
