l-Theanine and Ashwaganda
Hi all I have been experiencing agoraphobia. I’ve tried Ashwaganda for about a month now. It has helped me with my social anxiety sometimes. It has helped to get me through interactions. But I still rush myself out. I was looking for another supplement. I read about L-theanine can help with reducing

alcohol abuse
recently I’ve been leaning towards alcohol as a self medication. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia and alcohol helps me do exposure therapy easily. This pattern worries me because I have found myself turning to that before I drive to make it easier. I know I should emphasize the fact that I know

Starting an antidepressant
I have been feeling horrible for over 70 days now since I found my ex who broke up with me last year has a boyfriend. Long story but I just started taking Pristiq. I have a long history of depression and anxiety and I have never been good about taking my meds. I was wondering if anyone had a good experience

Am struggling with sky high depression and unbearable anxiety.
I've been struggling with depression and anxiety most of my life. I was born into a world where I was not welcomed. I have no knowledge of who my ancestors are. I'm like a tree without roots, blown around by the slightest breeze. I'm 72 so now I'm facing existential fears as well. It's getting almost

ECT and VNS
I’m out of things to try and feeling very desperate . Does anyone have any experience with either of these treatments? I’m truly suffering and I’m not sure how much more I can take. I’ve tried so many medications and alternative therapies I’m very lonley and I’m worried my depression will never stop.

SeHCAT scan - eeek!
Got my letter through to book the SeHCAT scan. I'm just freaked out by having to go to the same clinic that caused me so much distress during colonoscopies/endoscopies. I know this won't hurt and logically I don't need to worry but I can't help it.🙄
