..anyone else?? I’ve dealt with it (and anxiety with panic disorder) off and on for almost 20 years. I did medication for years but I am currently not taking anything. lately (the past 2 years) the anxiety I experience has been centrally focused on my heart. I’ve had many EKGs, sonogram tests, etc

How do you get the motivation to get out of bed?
I am so depressed and I can't seem to even get the motivation to get out of bed. I have no support from my family with my depression and I am so tired of my husband telling me to snap out of it. I have been unable to keep a job for no longer than 2 years which puts even more stress on my family. My

Acceptance
Hello everyone! I am struggling really bad with acceptance and ruminating thoughts. Long story short, my middle sister dislikes me so much (my belief is because I was treated differently by my parents and always had a close relationship with them). I also think she has a personality disorder because

C-PTSD?
I'm looking at a potential C-PTSD diagnosis with abandonment issues. Any advice/experiences/general knowledge anyone has would be SUPER appreciated.

really depressed
and cannot seem to get my mind together. I have too much on my mind, overwhelmed and surfing the net is not helping and not facebook either. I went for a short walk. I need more support and a more stable and sustainable life and lifestyle. It is tough making changes and I am trying. When I

Went Down to 75mg Zoloft
So I’m going to slowly increase to 100mg. I don’t think alternating 50 to 100 works for me. Took my 75mg this morning. I keep obsessing on if I’m going to lose my sanity or not. I feel like my posts are so redundant, but it’s just how I feel. I want to be okay 😞 My therapist online said people with

A Nice Hug
I’m not really an affectionate person. But when I’m filling down all I want is a hug. And it’s really hard to get my husband to understand that’s what I need when my anxiety/depression is at an all time high. He also comes from a not so affectionate family. He will give me a hug but doesn’t understand

Do whatever makes you feel good!
I have probably suffered from depression since I was about 14 but it wasn’t diagnosed until I had a full blown breakdown when I was in my early 40s (about 18 years ago). Since then I have progressed from citalopram to sertraline (with a brief but horrible detour via amitriptylene) and am still on sertraline

I’m New Here
Hi, I’m new here, although NOT in anyway, shape or form new to major depression. I’m a 61 y/o female who has struggled since I was 15. That’s a long time. It’s always been cyclical. But, here’s what’s crazy; I never identified it as a “disorder” before. It obviously is. I didn’t get on medication until

Wellbutrin
Hi, I'm new to the community. I have been on Wellbutrin/Bupropion since 2020. I feel like it may not be working as well. Is anyone else taking this and if so, have you had success? I have depression and anxiety and wonder if I need another prescription. Thanks

New paper that consolidates the notion of FT3 protection as the chief aim of the body's thyroid system
This paper is mathematical again. It tries to tie in the body's need to protect its FT3 level against disturbing pressures. The discussion and conclusion are most approachable. In short FT3 measurement is strongly recommended because of it being less sensitive to FT4 changes

Graduation!
Done it! C25K week 9 run 3, done! 2nd time in 4 years, easier this time round I think and completed in 8 weeks, rather than the 8 months it took me last time 🤣You were all right about Strava, by the way ... what a lying b*****d! It says I ran not as far, and therefore slower, than last Wednesday's run

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me. I have given up HRT, SSRIs, statins, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the

Surviving
Hi. I have depression, anxiety & insomnia. I like to stay indoors, not see anyone or do anything. Happy Days! I'm next trying rTMS which I hope gets me back on track. I have a loving family and supportive GP so can't complain about support.

Hello everyone, first of all I apologize for my english (I'm from Morocco), we don't have support groups over here. I wanted to ask you guys If PTSD can also become generalized anxiety disorder? I have severe panic attacks since 2014.

Zoloft increase after almost 20 years
I have GAD and have been on 100mg of Zoloft since 2004, I’ve had a recent episode with anxiety brought on by the birth of my first child. Has anyone else felt side effects when increasing just 25mg of Zoloft to 125mg total? My stomach is queasy and I feel like my anxiety has spiked a bit. It’s been a

Feeling a lil positive
Well I have been able to eat for 2 days now and today was easier doing so. Not as much nausea. I was shaky this morning fought thru it and went for a walk by the lake. Did some tidying up at home. I am trying to go without the 0.5 ativan today to kinda test the 10 mg of Lexapro if its in my system enough

Regret going to group therapy. Overwhelmed, another day wasted and money wasted. Why do all my attempts to get help backflip?
So i had a crisis some days ago and texted and old therapist that i loved. Told her it passed but now I'm wondering whether to go to group therapy. She said i deside but maybe it could be beneficial. At the last moment i went. Late. Saw people who just didn't feel right. Much older than me and with different

ADAA Story of Triumph: My Obsessive Life
"In 2006, I was diagnosed with an immune disorder and had a bout of meningitis. After I got sick and started to recover I started getting panic attacks and anxiety. It got so bad I ended up in the mental health section of the VA hospital," Dave explains. "As far as therapy is concerned I have gone through
