Experiences with

Excoriation (skin picking) disorder

Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) include things like skin picking (excoriation disorder), hair pulling (trichotillomania), nail biting/picking, cheek chewing and more. BFRBs can often make us feel like we have no control over our behaviors and that we’re at the mercy of an endless cycle.

I am a simple man. I eat a bowl of broccoli sprouts every morning. I sprout my own and it is cheap and easy. Over 2 years and I have never had a jar not sprout. But they have these capsules and whatnot. Are they good? I don't know. This paper says plain sprouts are better. You get more sulforaphane

Hi all, for those of you who went on to have another pregnancy and birth after your initial experience with PPP - I have a few questions. My psychosis happened a year ago.

any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve been on it for years and it never really seemed to help to my liking. Anxiety wasn’t reduced, I’m bipolar 2 so if anything it’s helped with the highs. I’m at rock bottom and since starting pristiq about 3 months or so ago I’ve fallen deeper in the hole. I’m planning

Hi, I'm quite new here. I wonder if anyone can help. I am wondering if I could maybe have an underactive thyroid or maybe even Euthyroid Sick Syndrome? My symptoms are tiredness, weight gain, depression/anxiety, intolerance to cold and muscle cramp. I had a TFT blood test, which came back normal

I had this super weird experience in the middle of the night after waking up. I was very tired. I woke up and once I tried to fall back asleep, it felt like my body was trying to sleep before my brain could fall asleep. I was conscious but feeling very heavy. My eyes were seeing these vivid colours moving

Hi, after 1 year alcohol free, I was expecting to feel great but find myself feeling anxious and/or depressed much of the time. Life is good in most areas so I can't fix things by simply improving my finances, relationships, health...looking forward to learning from others in the community.

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

I have no control over my anxiety. I am having to take lorazepam every day to control it, and it has not been helping much lately. My diagnosis is bipolar disorder and general anxiety disorder. I can't function. Extensive treatment has yielded very limited results. It just won't end. I don't feel safe

Hi has anyone noticed spotting with hyperthyroidism? I've been on sayana press progestogen only injection for 4 years and not had a period in that time. But the last few days I've been spotting.

I got a stomach virus about two months ago and ended up not being able to take my medication. I was on 100mg pristiq and realized it was making me numb.
