Experiences with

Clinical depression

Logically, I know that there are people out there who could support me in the future. I know I deserve better and I'm capable of being treated better but none of those facts change where I am right now. Depression tells me that I have no one in my personal life that cares about me. The next

I have a one year old and have gone back to work part time three weeks ago. My wee one goes to a childminder Monday, Wednesday, Friday and seems really happy. I feel good being back at work and still having two days with my little one. The weekday routine I seem to have got, but it is the weekends that

I was recently prescribed prozac.Have not started taking it. Some friends are on it and say it has helped them tremendously. I am leary. I have known so may on anti- depressants who either attempted or succeeded in suicide. I am depressed, I don't want to get worse. I am depressed but not suicidal

I was misdiagnosed as having Bipolar 1 (please accept I have peer reviewed research-based proof) and found studies that confirmed this medical condition is often confused/conflated with the oyschiatric disorders of Bipolar 1, hypomania, etc Does anyone have citations of research studies, peer reviewed

Thank you to all of you for the help!! I still continue to struggle with my health problems but just keep fighting thru day by day

just been to rheumatology clinic as my RA is active, the nurse specialist has recommended Adalimumab, briefly read the leaflet and I read it can cause weight gain, has anyone else who takes this had weight gain, it is the one thing I dread,

my husband and I usually get along on a surface level. I treat him well. But he does things that are wrong, so that if I confront him he can deny it and chew me out. Playing mind games as a means of control. And weird stuff happens like the porch paint faded off over about a month and now looks bad,

Been dealing with depression and anxiety for a long time. I probably dealt with it to a lesser degree unknowingly previously. Back in 2005 i had a breakup that wasn't particularly bad but it was a trigger for me and something broke. I Started with zoloft, effexor, lexapro. Most recently i was prescribed

I'm just here to rant and hopefully seek support from people who've gone through the same. I was emotionally abused by my own family and it drove me to depression. I almost committed suicide 4 times but thankfully I never went through with it. Part of me wanted to live maybe that's why I held on. I

Hi. My wife and I separated 8 months ago. She is ready to move on and I am not. When she told me she was dating I responded with hurt and anger and a few choice words. I soon broke down, crying uncontrollably, anxiety like I’ve felt only one other time in my life, when my mother died. I checked

I have been down to 1mg of prednisone since January and toggling back and forth between 1 and 1/2 mg since April. But I feel mentally out of whack. Paranoid. Insecure. Incompetent. Stupid compared to others. Depressed. Anxious. This curtain came down on me when I was with people I have always liked and

Hello, so I've been back on 10mg of Citalopram now for a week - after a few weeks on Mirtazapine. All the side effects I was feeling from either coming off one and starting the other (Mirtazapine) have gone. My question is and still doctors just ignore when I say this, two days after switching tablets

I have so much built up rage surfacing right now, and it's just so much it's bringing me to tears. IDK what to do exactly,i have so many emotions happening right now, I hate bipolar disorder

People have promised me that it would get better my entire life. From teachers to my friends and family, to the members of churches I haven't been a part of. Everyone has told me that it has to get better as if it's some kind of rule of life. I've tried to create conditions for "better" by seeking

I’ve just come back from a doctors visit and he has prescribed Sertraline for my ibs-d. Now I have looked it up and can see that one of the common side effects is diarrhoea. He said this is a drug that will be expected to be tried before an appointment with a gastroenterologist can be made. I have

"Hello everyone, I am a new member of this group. I have been feeling depressed for almost a year now. I got divorced in August 2023 and soon after that, menopause hit me hard. Currently, I am working in a surgical office while also studying to become a social worker, as it helps me keep my mind occupied

Most of my life I’ve been a people pleaser in one way or another. I’ve tried to stop but can’t, I’m constantly on the lookout for praise, approval and admiration. I’ve had various counselling sessions over the years for depression and anxiety. Through this help I’ve found the reasons I people pleasure

I tried 988 again even though I knew how it would go. She kept asking questions I had already given her the answers to. It felt like she was stalling the whole time with lines of questioning that led nowhere. We finally got to the coping skill part and she was suggesting things that everyone suggests

Last week was very overwhelming and I still haven't processed everything that I experienced. Some good came out of it and even that's upsetting. Suddenly people in my close family have changed for the better and are trying to get to a point where they can support me. But it feels like it's way too late
