What is ‘fawning’ - the lesser known of the 4 F's? How is it related to trauma, PTSD and the ‘fight or flight’ response?
[i]You have probably heard of “fight or flight” responses to distressing situations. You may also be familiar with the tendency to “freeze”. But there is another defence or survival strategy a person can have: “fawn”.[/i] [i][/i] From https://theconversation.com/what-is-fawning-how-is-it-related-to-trauma-and-the-fight-or-flight-response

Off pristiq
I took my last dose of pristiq on Tuesday. I have been a guinea pig for snri's since September. My psychiatrist wants me to washout until Tuesday and then start me on an ssri. I suggested Prozac because it worked wonderfully in the past. I have been so depressed for so long I am having a real hard time

my anxiety is consuming me
hi all. New to these type of groups but think sharing might help me. It’s a long story but I’ve had anxiety for 10+ years now and have been on Sertraline since then. I’ve had intermittent panic attacks over the years but nothing like what I’ve been experiencing lately. This trigger event started almost

Not sure if anyone has any positive post tongue tie procedure breastfeeding stories to share? We have been recommended to get this done and I am so sceptical this will change any of our feeding issues.... I am dreading the actual procedure too for my baby as I has this with my first child and I found

Can anyone give any advice on their own recovery and feelings during post natal depression
My sister’s mental health started to deteriorate as soon as she bought her baby home back in August.

200mg Sertraline holding me back!?
Looking for any advice/suggestions. I've been on sertraline since 2014 and it worked so well for me. However, over the last few years I've struggled and my sertraline was raised to 200mg, which I've been on since late 2018.I may be wrong but on this dose I don't particularly feel anything or don't have

Depression, fearful anxious
All my life I have felt left out, depressed, worried, anxious. Now I'm a senior but have never been diagnosed. I think I'm bipolar. This week I'm looking for a therapist and talk to my Dr. I believe in God, but I think he's forgotten about me. Now my dog has been sick for almost a week and I don't

Mirtazapine
I took 30mg M for 18 months for anxiety. I decided to reduce the amount myself by halving it & then quartering it. It’s pretty powerful even on smaller amounts. I reduced the amount gradually but did not get withdrawal symptoms. I was eventually told to try for 2 weeks then finish. Because I quartered

My Current Struggle Is Food
This is what I am struggling with most at the moment. It's sort of like not wanting to eat when you are depressed. My depression is currently under control with my medication, but I am still struggling to get the right nutrition from week to week. Living by myself and supporting myself has been a learning

Any substitute for Bupropion?
Hi All. I was on Citalopram for depression, but that made my RLS worse. So Professor Walker at Queens Square suggested Bupropion as a substitute. I have just found out from my Pharmacy that Bupropion is no longer manufactured (so they say). I e-mailed Professor Walker yesterday for another substitute

PIP system is a complete joke
Hi Gang. I'm here to have the moaniest of moans. I'm 30 years old, I have Fibro, IBS-M and a shiny new heart condition that is yet to be granted a name. I applied for PIP in February, I was unbelievably awarded 0 points, I angrily applied for Mandatory Reconsideration ( I can't remember if that is
