SSRIs and weight gain
Morning everyone! I switched to Lexapro this year and it has made me balloon up. Body image is one of my major anxiety triggers so I’m struggling right now. I have started cutting calories and hitting the gym hard, probably too hard. My therapist says it is borderline eating disorder behavior. But the

What equals anxiety for youTRIGGER suicide
Swallowed anger? Shame from the past hurts? Heredity? Fear? Why does anxiety live with us/where does it come from? For me: Lately I’ve been working with an amazing therapist who is helping me with grief and healing because in ‘97 my brother took his life. I never faced it properly I don’t think. I

Klonapin down , down , down & almost off... Anybody ever get off a benzo?
Another increment down 2 to 3 days ago. In 5 weeks down from 2mg. to .25mg. Two more slow reductions of .125 mg. in next 11 days and ill be off of it after 2 years. Clonazepam/Klonapin is very, very potent and addictive medication widely prescribed and somewhat helpful. I peak withdrawals at 3 to

Unnumbered post YOU add by just being 12 Feb 2021
Good morning, beloved ms family. "YOU" add to our family just by being. Reaching out and saying hello to a stranger somewhere on the rock, rotating around this star, hurtling through this galaxy, going who knows where in this 'verse. Yes, I believe there is more than I can see and understand. I am

Positive things 🙂 🌻🌼🌷
I wrote down a list of all the things I personally WANT to do.. I notice that I need to learn how to allow myself to be happy. It may be odd to some but I am really not used to doing anything for myself so I wanted to try it. Throughout my life I have mainly just functioned and done what I HAVE to do

I wanted to share my first time with my therapist :D
Today I went to the therapist and I was nervous. She asked me all the general questions and stuff. Then she asked if I knew what ADHD was and I said yes.( I think she’s hinting if I may have it). After 1 hour of talking and crying. I felt kinda relieved because she literally understood me and didn’t

Synesthesia/Anxiety/Appropriate Counsel
Synesthesia- anyone else have this diverse condition out there? How are you dealing with it. How do you communicate without being oddly perceptive? How do you not get so distracted from the sensory overload I feel? I am a 48 year old female. RN Had it all my life. I feel so isolated in my life. I am

Trouble navigating
Today I woke up already really anxious and shaking, I don't know how to deal with it today, and I'm only seeing my therapist this afternoon and it's the first time I am seeing this one. I also don't know how to navigate the thoughts, yesterday I tried to ignore them and think of something else but they

Who will help a four-year-old with ADHD and similar issues
My son is 4 years old. He exhibits symptoms of both autism and ADHD. We've been to psychiatrists, occupational therapists, play therapists, and 100 other professionals who are supposed to help with such things. However, nothing has really helped. What I keep hearing over and over is that they won't

I’m new here and disillusioned with the NHS
The truth of it was that 12 months down the line nothing has happened, the local
psychotherapy
are only taking on simple patients as they are only using trainees so I have been referred to another agency who will hopefully be able to offer me something next year.

Zoloft, and thoughts
Our 15yrs old daughter's doctor is writing a rx for Zoloft to help with her depression. Since being in virtual school since March 2020 she has struggled terribly. Our daughter is high functioning Autism. She has a therapist she meets every other week to help navigate the, "new normal". After many consults

Just Joined after talking with my therapist
Hello. I'm guessing you get a lot of posts like this, but I'm literally typing this through a stream of tears. My therapist recommend I come to this site after talking with her. I'm really sorry to anyone who reads this because I feel like all I bring is misery to people. This may be a little long

The therapist with ADHD v. The ADHD therapist
I've often been disappointed by therapists/counselors who specialize in ADHD and also have ADHD. On one hand, it's nice to know that the person helping you understands the struggle in depth, but on the other I've often found that the having ADHD seems to be mutually exclusive from being able to effectively

Intrusive thoughts?
Hi guys! I am currently experiencing what my therapist believes to be harm ocd. I was triggered by a story about someone ending their life and I completely spun out of control. I have NEVER had an issue with this topic before and I love life so I don’t know why I had a major panic attack about it to
