Finally diagnosed + Fluoxetine help
Today I finally went to a psychiatrist and got formally diagnosed with dysthymia. Not sure how to feel about it. On one hand, it sucks having this but in the other, now I know it is something else and not just me being dramatic and exagerating my feelings. Anyways, they gaved me Fluoxetine for 1 month

Looking for a friend or social group
It is very hard for me to keep friends as my brain doesn't always help me in social situations. I have autism and body dysmorphia which are my biggest hinders (besides other diagnoses like depression etc) I would like a friend who is open minded with my daily struggle and accepts my peculiar personality

ADAA Personal Story: Harm OCD Made Me a Pushover Parent
"My OCD tells me that I am a bad mom. Sometimes the self-doubt actually paralyzes me. Or, the self-doubt has me scrambling to do too much. I was hopelessly over my head when my first son was born and my OCD knew it. I will replay my children’s childhoods scanning for the unhealable mistakes that I potentially

Anxiety
Living with this condition is so hard. I struggle to find the good in any day, and it makes me loathe everything around me. I take good things and make them bad, and always think I’ve done something wrong. I check the stove top to make sure it’s off at least three times every morning to make sure

Today is the first time I have posted since joining. I am so afraid of being judged that I have not had the courage to share, even here!
I think my depression and anxiety have heightened to a point where I can hardly focus on tasks. My brain spins through scenarios that just occurred like it is recapping the moment and it just gets stuck in a loop. Is this ADHD or something like that or is it depression? Does this happen to anyone else

Recent exacerbation of PLMD
Hi everyone. I’ve been on Pregabalin for 10 months after coming off Pramipexole. I’m taking 350mg around 8:30pm but have given up trying to go to bed before 11:30-midnight. Whilst RLS is well controlled, the PLMD isn’t. Most recently I am now getting PLMD as soon as or shortly after I get into bed. Sleep

Two-Week Checkpoint: No Progress
It has been two weeks since my declaration and I haven't lost a pound. I think I have developed an eating disorder because I am very pressured at home (studious family atmosphere LOL). I eat well during the day, every meal is balanced & low-cal, and then after 8 pm, I just can't resist a value pack of

Selegeline/RBD?
It's often said that all of the treatments currently in use for Parkinson's offer symptomatic relief only, and do not affect underlying pathology. However, a recent study suggests selegeline use impacts white matter microstructure and could be neuroprotective. I know white matter abnormalities have been

Physical Activity and Anxiety
I noticed over the last several years that when I’m lying down and watching television my anxiety level is much less and my mind is more quiet than when I’m physically doing something. It’s as if movement worsens my anxiety and initiates the racing and obsessive thoughts; irritability increases as well

Tardive dyskinesia. Been on the causative med quetiapine 400 mg for 20 years.Unable to get off it. Been creative. I am a registered nurse.
I am an inpatient acute mental health nurse actually - for the last 15 years. I also have Bipolar disorder on lithium. Very well controlled. But side effects of quetiapine were becoming impossible to live with. I tried aripiprazole and a reduction in quetiapine to a disastrous effect. I appeared severely

Any experiences of Lamotrigine for bipolar 2 depression?
I'm a 64 year old woman and got a diagnosis of bipolar 2 a couple of years ago. I haven't been on any meds until now, but am finally taking the plunge as the prolonged severe depressive episodes have made life untenable. I'm looking at options for meds and Lamotrigine seems to get good reviews for prevention

Sleepy Girl Mocktail
While I'm very much into magnesium, and like cherry juice, I've not tried this - but the 'Sleepy Girl Mocktail' made the New York Times today: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/17/well/live/sleepy-girl-mocktail-cherry-magnesium.html More from the Cleveland Clinic last November: https://health.clevelandclinic.org

Peginterferon and nightmares
Just wondering if anyone has experienced nightmares whilst take peginterferon alpha 2a. I have noticed some sleep disturbance and last week, my 8th injection, I was asked to increase dose to 90. My platelets had dropped since starting on 45 from 864 to 706 but still high. After my 2nd 90 dose I am experiencing

Where do I go from here?
I've struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and depression since I was 4 years old. I thought I was doing better and then this week I started having unprovoked panic attacks again. I lost my ability to speak for 24 hours. It was terrifying. Should I look into IOP or PHP? Is outpatient just not enough

A new day
Today I woke up at 4:30 am and I have work at 9am! I can’t go back to bed so I’ve walked to the shop to get some toast and lucozade. I’m still coming off a hangover from Saturday night and I have major anxiety. I’ve decided to give up drinking (please wish me luck, I’m in my early 20s so I need it).
