Very Unhappy. (Cbd oil?)

[Ddpg94]

Hello I am currently on Desvenlafaxine 25mg it has been about a month of me taking it and these past two weeks have been bad! I feel very depressed I am so unhappy nothing interest me nothing motivates me! Sometimes I feel like why am I so unhappy and depressed if I didn’t do anything wrong its just thoughts then my mind tells me what If I did do something wrong and I don’t remember and of course I would never and have never done anything wrong! Someone please tell me if they have experienced this and if they have taken Desvenlafaxine? I am really unhappy and have almost no reasons why ! I am currently staying at my boyfriends parents home I have a small room there I thought maybe I was unhappy at my house because my mom is not that supportive maybe I will be happy here and honestly I feel like if I move anywhere its not the places its me that I am unhappy I am the problem. I pray daily to find strength in God but sometimes I just can’t and thinking maybe that everything might be better if I wasn’t here. How do I find happiness. Also one question I have been reading about CBD oil is this helpful? Has anybody used it? Thanks in advance.

Hi!

This is the main theme of my OCD as well - that I harmed someone and can’t remember. I know how illogical it is and yet that doesn’t make it any less scary because the OCD can be very very convincing. I have never taken that medication before so I can’t speak to that but I have had very good luck with Zoloft. Are you receiving ERP and working with an OCD specialist? If not, that is an absolute must! You can and will find happiness again when you learn that thoughts are just thoughts and don’t mean anything. I know how difficult this is, and there were plenty of days where I felt like giving up too. But think of all you value in life and how much you have to fight for. We can’t let OCD bully us into telling us we’re not worthy. If you are seriously considering harming yourself, please reach out and get help! You deserve an OCD free life and I know that everyone of us can get there! My prayers are with you and everyone else fighting. Please don’t think you’re not worth the fight, because you are!

I agree with below poster--the combination of meds and therapy is very powerful. Get an ERP therapist & please tell prescribing doctor how miserable you are. Different meds affect people differently. This one is not cutting it for you. Hang in there! I've been there & it will get better. Listen to music, go outside every day, escape your brain periodically into a movie or book. Sending hugs.

I would have your doctor give you another medication. Some medication can make you more depressed. Don’t give up. There are many med and you can find one that works. I take Zoloft and it is very helpful. Get more help don’t let it get to you.

Hello!

I am sorry to hear that the past two weeks haven’t been good.

I know how it feels to be very depressed with nothing seemingly being able to interest or motivate you!

I understand that the thoughts are extremely overwhelming.

I have certainly experienced this.

OCD will take any situation and make it negative. It will latch onto loved ones and prized possessions and destroy your attitude towards them.

I am glad that you have multiple places to stay!

You are not the problem. The OCD is the problem.

I am glad to hear that you pray daily.

Sometimes, it is very hard not to give up hope.

I know what the darkest thoughts feel like. Happiness can be found with therapy and medication. I promise that it does get better.

I wish you the best!
