How do you distinguish anxiety / depression with just everyday stress and "life stuff"?? At what point does one cross over? Is there a tipping point?

Great Question!
I believe there is no cross over or tipping point.
It's a slow process that takes years, you don't even realise it's happening cause your not thinking about it.
If anyone is asking the above question your already on the right track!
Everyone is different so no one fix fits all.
Anti depressant drugs are not an answer, use only as a circuit breaker for a short time, maybe a week or so.
Talk to friends and family, you'll find out that everyone else is just as screwed up as I am!

Seems that there is so much more stress these days, and it feels like it only gets more and more. I try to have some releases, motorbike riding, projects etc but sometimes you feel like you are going to explode, but then come back and feel normal later. I guess from what I have read here, is that it is the not coming back to normal which could be the tipping point.
