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

Nightmares
I suffer from nightmares likely due to PTSD. I am looking for feedback from individuals who have suffered frequent nightmares and have found an effective tool in managing the effects from them.

Emptiness
I am in an anguish mindset. I am sick of my life in my home. I do chores, I do piano if though I hate it, I do my school, do my exercise, go to church repeat. I am sick of the same thing. I need to talk with someone but my mom said not to a Therapist and we can’t afford one. I am yearning someone who

Low Sodium
I am taking Fluoxetine it makes me feel quite well. The problem is that my sodium levels are too low. I know Fluoxetine can lower my sodium. I really don't want to change my antidepressant. Last time this happened I was put on Cipalatram I was very weepy. I am scared in case this happens again.

Upping My Niacin to 1000 mg
Update: I just learned there is an increased risk of diabetes on niacin therapy: https://heart.bmj.com/content/102/3/198
This study was based on people taking Niacin for cardiovascular reasons, which I think would be dosed at 500 to 6000 mg a day: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements

My Long RLS + PLMD Story (so far) Half of a Victory
I've dealt with RLS since I was a teenager. It grew increasingly worse as I aged. (I just turned 63). I also suspected that my legs were twitching and moving around a lot in my sleep. Eventually I learned there was a clinical name for that, too: PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder) that frequently,

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

RLS or something else?
Hi, I started vaping to replace a tobacco habit and got carried away with the vaping taking in far too much. Started off a light tingle in the arms initially for a few weeks but then spread to the legs where it is focused most. It happens when i am about to fall into a deep sleep. I can lie in bed

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

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

Intrusive thoughts
Hi I’m so sorry to hear about the intrusive thoughts that you have been going through .I also have experienced them since being diagnosed with PP last year.What I found helpful is someone’s comment to imagine physically putting them on a cloud and floating away.Also remembering that everyone gets intrusive

Is my medicine making my symptoms worse?
After three years of cymbalta not working for me, I decided to switch medications, to which my doctor prescribed me lexapro. I started this lexapro roughly three weeks ago, and one thing I noticed was how easily triggered I am to get anxiety. I went to my doctor yesterday, and they were hesitant to increase

Trying to Figure out a couple of things
I have two questions, they're unrelated with each other. 1) Besides PTSD and Anxiety, I'm also Type 1 Diabetic, and I noticed that sometimes if I'm having a low BGL (blood sugar) sometimes I'll have an anxiety attack at the same time. I don't know why that is. I've been Type 1 for about 5 almost 6
