Experiences with

Anxiety

Hello I have anxiety and depression but I can’t take ssri or snri. I’ve heard about quetapine and olanzapine. What’s your experience with them? Thanks for reading my post. Xx

My anxiety is pretty high right now!!

But is it more just wanting to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling in the way I handle my anxiety, which is just running away? Staying with him sounds stressful but so is breaking up.

Hello pees Are sleeping disorders part of having anxiety ? And I’m waking up to images in mind. Just random stuff. The onset of both was after going through Covid and feeling very stressed. I have lightheadedness too. This has been going on for years.

anyone got some good ones? In a pretty bad bout right now and some of my old strategies don’t seem to be cutting it. Restarted medication 3 weeks ago but not noticing much help yet with the obsessive thoughts and ruminations. Appreciate any positive suggestions. Thanks.

We can go online and find each other much easier because of our anxiety around going outside. But words on a screen and even a voice call is not the same as seeing someone in the flesh.

Hi Everyone.....I have severe anxiety and depression (at least that the diagnosis we're going with now) and I'm taking 450 mg. of Wellbutrin. I shake almost all the time, more so when I'm stressed. My psychiatrist had me add 5 mg. of Abilify a few weeks ago.

Hello, I suffer from anxiety and severe depression. I've tried different cocktails and unfortunately, they haven't worked. Has anyone had the experience of using Pristiq? Thank you

I had a relationship end last year and later when I found she is with a new boyfriend I spiraled into terrifying depression and anxiety. Not just specifically about her, but that I can’t meet a new companion. I am 45 years old and most people my age have already been married or have kids.

I have been really struggling to get my anxiety and depression under control and I feel like I got the anxiety to a managed state but I am so depressed. I listen to sad music just so I feel like someone feels the same way I do. Anyway just thought I would share this today instead of journaling.

I have tried every approach I have learned over the years to control my depression and anxiety. But the last two weeks, I keep having attacks to the point that I had lost time. Wake up to all my muscles hurting because my body went completely rigid. Does anyone else have that issue?

I've had severe anxiety and depression for about a year and a half (actually my whole life), and nothing seems to be helping. I'm on 450 mg. Wellbutrin (the 5th anti-depressant I've tried), getting therapy once a week and trying to stay busy.

Finally getting caught up on some things I had dropped the ball on… or had to put on pause… been a rough year! Lots of changes, moving, change in work a car accident, a concussion, causing depression and setback, and decrease in momentum and productivity! I still don’t know what I’m going to do

However with my anxiety and depression getting worse due to circumstances I haven't been sleeping well. My Dr just prescribed me Trazadone for sleep. Has anyone had experience with this?

Normally i dont open up about my feelings like this…. But in this group , even though im new here, from what all ive read i feel being honest is the only way people know i need help My mother has said/ done things that no one should let alone ur mother. Everything will be fine and out of nowhere she

I can see my loneliness goes hand in hand with anxiety and being out of work has not helped .

I've had post concussion syndrome since April 13th and I'm told this is a long slow recovery. My graduation from graduate school is delayed and the headaches are epic. Someone please tell me this too shall pass?

What I put down in my profile, with some edits, is a good intro: I am diagnosed with multi-drug resistant major depressive disorder, aka, treatment resistant depression, general anxiety disorder, and substance abuse disorder.

I was listening music in the evening, enjoying. but suddenly again some selfish people around me, they hurt me for their selfish reasons. again I fell in extreme anxiety, again feeling lonely, hopeless, helpless.I think I need to take Alprazolam.

I'm a middle aged guy with no friends and family to help support me. I feel lost and alone in this world.
