Hi new friend... "Been there, done that" but what if I told you there may be something you are missing?? There's always that one more thing that we haven't tried that may hold the key
to your success. Welcome...I'm glad you are here. xx
Thx 💞 that's why I signed up. There's got to be some relief.. everyone else just thinks I'm crazy
Hi 👋, This is definitely the last place anyone will think you are crazy. We have all been in less than perfect mental health. We are here to listen and offer advice in these crazy Covid-19 times especially. The best thing to do if you cannot get to see your doctor for a review or book a telehealth consult, is to tap into free government mental health lines of support, available online. If you can share your location, our members can provide local advice. We are from all over the place e.g. I am in Australia 🐨 You don't have to do this alone 👌
HiWelcome to the group. We are all here to support each other.
There certainly is a lot going on in the world right now that can trigger more anxiety and fear.
Talking about it helps. I'm glad you joined
Thank you for your time
Welcome to the group! This group is great for support! Do you go to therapy?
37 YEARS OF therapy and psychiatrist..it's bs
I'm sorry it's not going well for you, I've definitely been there. I would have both intense anxiety and a complete lack of motivation interchangeably. Finding the right medicine for depression helped. (But in my case I still had hypomania, so I had to get slightly different medicines.) Still, the antidepressants stopped both the anxiety and the despair.
I’m sorry you are going through this just know you are not alone ❤️
Welcome! I haven't been on here long either. I'm 37 as well with anxiety, depression, ptsd, and multiple physical health issues. I like yourself deal with a great deal of fears and tend not to leave other than to go to the dr. I have been on all the medications to the point several years ago I had a psychiatrist tell me I'm sorry there is nothing more that can be done for you. Needless to say that left me with no hope in any of my mental health issues improving. This past year I started with a new psychiatrist and started therapy. While the therapist didnt really work out the psychiatrist did. I ended up going on a medication that worked for me more than a decade ago, but stopped working. I'm on a total of 4 psych meds, but since starting the 3rd and 4th I have seen a steady improvement. Granted the anxiety and depression aren't gone, but the duration and intensity has improved. I dont know if you are in therapy or with a psychiatrist, but now isnt a bad time to start. The reason I say this is because after your initial visit they can do treatment over the phone. I thank god they are able to and cover it because it makes it much more likely for me to stick with treatment given leaving the house is so hard. I hope this helps, and I hope that your anxiety subsides. Best wishes!

I hope I didn't upset you. I'm sorry that you are struggling with so many thing. I had a nervous breakdown when I was 22 due to multiple health issue one of which caused me to be fed through an IV, which I got monthly PICC line infections that required hospitalization. During which I had a social worker that said something to me that stuck with me. She said,"You have had so many things happen one after another that you never got the time to process or come to terms with it." Could this be a possibility with you? Even though you have had therapy before you are worth trying again because not all psychologists are the same and there must be someone out there who is the right fit. Right now isn't a bad time either because if COVID. Once you have done the initial visit every thing is done over the phone, which I know is a great since I am so tired all the time. Do you or your husband have anyone that can help with packing and moving? I was overwhelmed with having to move, and my sister, her husband, and a few friends helped me pack my thing and move. I had my ex help me set up my bed and unpack stuff. I was pretty lucky with that. I'm on opiods as well, and they can can make you even more tired and depressed. I still take them though because I had hard to treat depression before, and the pain from multiple physical health conditions (too many to list). So, why be depressed and in pain, when I can at least treat the pain. I don't know if any of this will help you, but I hope you are able to find relief, and that things go smoothly and are drama free. Best wishes, and happy holidays!
No u didn't hurt me!! I'm just SERIOUSLY not getting better after 37 years of therapy and psychiatrist!! Do you know how extremely hurtful it is to do another fkn intake. ?? I can't even get thru them. The therapist I have now...since covid...is cool. She didn't really make me do a intake... We just started talking..on the phone..so I've never met this lady..she's never looked me in the eyes!! I hate that. But on same SENCE I haven't had to GOOOO see her. It's weird. N same thing. We talk at 3 every Tuesday..I'm deep in convo and crying..n I've got to go..next appointment. I'm just like this is just a paycheck for them!! Do you honestly believe...they worry about you n ur baggage all week? I think not. No we have absolutely no one else to help us move. Family ISSS post....but I'm like..well your more than welcome to come over and help!! Of course no response. Plan...to go paint it. Monday. It's a hour n half away to Albuquerque NM. Sooo God 🙏 please let me do this!! It will happen when it happens. I guess EXCEPT husband is post off! U r right about what was said to you..too much n I mean too much one after the other since I can remember...my parents were hippies...that should say alot... Dv. Lived in tents busses. My daddy who killed himself..never touched us 2 girls but beat the fk out of my mom cowboy boots to the ribs... Sooooo much... Sooo much. So I end up wba abuser locked in basement for weeks. New one doesn't hurt me physically,but in 3 short years..omg!! B s!! I'm hoping us having a new chance change it's ours will change. I'm tired don't feel like going on with this right now. Just a FYI. U can't even come close to HURTING me k. 😎
