Depressing example of medical intransigence
For a long time, the medical world has ignored the potential effects of valproate on infant health after birth. Even though guidance commitees have cautioned against giving valproate to pregnant women. This scandal continues, and babies are still being born with serious problems. The response of the

I've decided to go with eight donor frozen oocytes and fertilise with fresh semen next week. Has anyone gone down this route?
The donor produced and froze 18 oocytes three weeks ago. So I'm hoping that means it's a lot stronger. Please do Share your stories especially if you are using the same method. I'm currently on progynova to prepare the lining of the womb and would appreciate any good tips or suggestions

feeling lost
A few months ago I had a couple isolated panic attacks because I was getting light headed and dizzy and the fear would make my heart race to the point I thought I was having a heart attack. That began a spiral of a doctor telling me I had anxiety, which then lead to saying anxiety and depression and

PTSD?
Okay. I have a lot of questions about PSTD and complex PTSD. I literally JUST noticed something. I was having unwanted, intrusive thoughts about my dad & his passing. I was thinking about the night it happened. And completely unconsciously, I picked up my phone and began to try to distract myself from

Grateful for the struggle
I spent from 7:00 AM until 3:00 PM today, trying to roll with my panic attacks. I wanted to use alcohol to self medicate, but I didn't. I am proud of myself. The panic attacks always disappear. I feel great right now and I am glad I stuck with my treatment plan. My panic attacks usually last 4 to

Latest Update to Here We Go Again
Underwent the "simple mastectomy" on Nov 1 on the right side. This is my third breast cancer surgery and sixth primary cancer overall.

Liothyronine and cellulite
Hi, just curious to know whether anyone else has experienced cellulite after taking T3 and if so have they found anything that helps reduce its appearance. Since being on T3 for a year I’ve developed significant cellulite on my legs and also weight gain - rather odd as it is supposed to increase cell

8 months since first post..new results and questions
8 months on from my first noobie post on the forum asking for help. I’m pretty pleased with this, feeling so much better than I did, the advice here has been life changing. Still work to do, very achy, limited capacity to do anything outside of turning up to work/home stuff but that is an improvement

How to connect to others
I feel lonely and I'm finding it hard to connect to other people. My husband is an exception, and my son, because I can open up (to some extent) with them. More with my husband, of course, than my son. But I feel it's important that my son knows something about my mental health. He's an adult now (barely

So much pain. What did I do to deserve this. I'm treading water and sinking.
I have a good psychiatrist but ive been looking for a second opinion or a new one. Im not getting any better. But very few are taking new patients. I don't want some random person from the internet. I started calling the hospitals. Mount Sinai hospital seems to have a good treatment resistant depression

I need support. My nasty Dad just threatened to kick me out of the house.
And he knows I have nowhere to go. He treats me like I’m meant to be his slave. I really hate him. He expects everyone to just do what he says and shut up. He sits in his lazy boy chair most of the day and hardly lifts a finger to do much of anything. Smoking his nasty cigarettes and not caring

Abilify vs. Latuda
Any advice based on experience? I think Abilify makes me feel edgy/irritable. I have not tried latuda. So far nothing is giving me any relief from this depression.
