Experiences with

Sleep disorders

Now I'm trying to deal with overwhelming depression. I've been seeing a CBT therapist but his answers are pretty obvious: to increase social contacts (kinda hard during Covid and being 74 with no family other than my wife....it's not easy.) I still work at home but also being a caregiver to my disabled

Hi All, Hoping for some advice or just to know I'm not alone! I am completely at my wits end! I have had 6 months of horrendously pain periods and absolutely no help from my doctors. They are now not even calling me back as I was calling at least once a month every month. The docs have put me on Norethisterone

Hi I just joined this forum. I have struggled with abuse since I was a child. I have no memory of who he was but I know what happened. My brain has blocked out the rest for some reason. I moved away for college in the hopes of escaping my trauma; however, the pattern repeated. I was in an emotionally

Been on and off Ativan (as needed) for 10ish years. As needed meant sometimes only like 20 pills/year were taken. Mostly able to regulate on my own. In 2019 my general practitioner said they could no longer RX habit-forming meds because of the opioid crisis. I was told they could only treat my anxiety

hey everyone, i booked my 2nd appointment since 2 years, i definitely needed it as i have been getting into alot of pressure and my mental health has been taking a hit with new symptoms and annoyances. My dr explained to me how he is seeing symptoms and indications of depression not just anxiety, but

I drink alcohol 0-1 times per week socially with friends. My New Years resolution was to not black out for the year, but I screwed that one up last night. Edit: Usually I’m fine just having a couple. But maybe once every 6 months after having a couple I keep going and I black out by the end of the night

Hey all, am new to this forum Suffer with major depressive disorder with anxiety and recently went from 150 mg to 225mg of Effexor XR

I'm still not clear on the difference. In my case PD causes difficulty evacuating the bowels. Without treatment what ultimately comes out is...massive. Forcing it out there's constant fear of something tearing inside. Using colace the stools were less frightening meaning they were smaller

This has been such a beautiful experience for Mom. She is so relaxed … hands, arms, shoulders, legs, and her most favorite is her scalp. In-home therapist is just what she needed.

Hey, Is anyone here taking doxazosin for their PTSD? If so what dose and has it had a positive effect?

I'm writing the follow up on a post I did about a month ago regarding an upcoming ablation procedure. If you recall, my concern was about traveling from Orlando to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore … I wanted to get feedback concerning how long I should stay before returning on a flight home and about

Does anyone have heart palpitations that keep them awake when they go to bed? Breathing exercises don't seem to help. I've joined walking groups to walk during the day and use up some of the adrenalin, but it doesn't seem to help. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would love to hear others' experience with hyperreflexia as result of PA. I have periods (often in the last days before my injection), when I get low-level random muscle twitches, mostly in my arms and back, then they subside. I have been found to be hyperreflexive in reflex tests since my PA diagnosis

Hi there, I went for a private 3D scan at 27+3 and they said my amniotic was 9cm (the most it should be is 8cm) and that I should call my midwife. Other than that the baby looked great and healthy albeit a bit bigger than average. The midwives got me in for an extra scan with them today and confirmed

hey everyone I’m new here. I wonder if there’s a community on here for Borderline personality disorder / suicide ideation / ADHD / wanting to Self harm. I can’t seem to find them in the search bar :-) I haven’t been diagnosed with bpd or adhd yet but I’m in the process of waiting for a psychiatrist appt

My Anorexia isn't the best right now. I hate the way I look. My thighs are big, my stomach is bloated. I hate it. Haven't ate in a few weeks, and I'm starving. I can't eat though. I need help with my ED

A trial was done involving children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, the research paper makes a fairly good case (IMHO) for running a similar trial with PD patients. Beneficial reconstitution of gut microbiota and control of alpha-synuclein and curli-amyloids-producing enterobacteria,

Below is copied from a Google search. For years, beta-blockers have been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as psychiatric conditions, bizarre and vivid dreams, sleep disturbances, delirium, psychosis, and visual hallucinations [1].22 May 2020 Following my initial PAF diagnosis

I'm exhausted...Worn out. Anxiety and PTSD management is a full-time gig. Can anybody relate?

My daughter (now 21) suffers with ASD and ADHD. Both diagnosis are fairly recent (last two years). She rarely leaves the house except to go to do her course which is twice a week. She has no interest in shopping so I can’t suggest that. We have a little dog but she won’t walk with me as she says I walk
