That happened to me, too, when things took a bad twist in my life. I'm not sure it was fully my fault, as I sort of think my friends were just too self-absorbed and the common courteousy of acting...

How can a person really be happy, when they are not? Should we pretend like we are all happy here? I think the name of the forums says it all. You're not going to find chipper people on a...

I'm not sure. It was reccommended by a therapist. I'd have to find the bottle. But no tests were ever done to see if I had a deficiency.

We tend to be very hard on ourselves. Expecting way too much. Think of your closest loved one, when thinking poorly of yourself. Think of them telling you that everyone would be better off without...

Been there. The thing is... You have to gain control of the situation, to not act on these ideas you get. I've had some wonderful three am ideas that didn't seem like very good ideas the next day.

Vitamin D3 has done nothing for me, at all. It was suggested to me by a previous therapist, along with 5HTP, which made me very, very ill, and he wanted me to eat tons of protein. Turns out, even...

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. Was actually feeling a lot better, but now, that I'm back to my regular life, the shine has definitely dulled. It's like the grey cloud that was looming over me...

By psychiatric doctor, do you mean a therapist, or a psychiatrist? I have both. Pretty sure my therapist is a scab, too. I've only been seeing her for a short while, but our last visit was...

Hot damn, I had a little tune going in my head, and all! Great song!

My GP doctor and I have had a rough time, the entire time I've been seeing her. She will not address my pain issues, seeing as she thinks they are just a side effect of my depression. I can barely...

I know now that depression can also bring on physical pain symptoms, but I'm beginning to wonder if I don't have more wrong with me than that. I'm in so much pain, I'm flat out miserable. Feet,...

Best damn poem I've read in ages.

Isn't buspar a mood stabilizer? I think one would feel the effects of a mood stabilizer, or antipsychotic almost immediately. Could have been fed false facts, but I do believe that's what a nurse...

People deal with things in all different ways. I see nothing wrong with hearing about how one person deals with anxiety, another deals with grief. Things you read can just be put in your toolbox of...

The day I got mine was pretty rough on me. I felt feverish and just not up to par. You'll be fine though, might take a few days!

Wow, I totally forgot that i also would get the shivers and randomly start sweating alot. Shaking was a thing I did too. All subsided after a few weeks!

Well I def think you should seek out a good therapist for yourself... Medication can get you about 50% of the way to where you want to be, but can be much higher, coupled with therapy. I wish you...

I'm seeing a therapist now, just finished two months of a CBT program. It's been difficult, and it's complicated it, because I didn't get to go to the funeral... So I feel like a terrible person for...

I have dabbled on another site, similar to this one, and everyone on there just wanted to die. Talking to a few of those people on kik actually made me feel more depressed, knowing that I wasn't...

Oddly, I go through this too. I knew someone younger than me recently who had a heart attack, but survived... And I went straight out and bought a treadmill thinking that would save my life. O.o

I took celexa for about 6 weeks. It was not helpful at all to me. My depression seemed much worse, thoughts of hurting myself, and being really easily angered. I know a gal who has been on it for...

When I started Effexor, I mainly had severe dry mouth, and insomnia. Started taking it after I woke up, worked a lot better. But then, as my dosage increased, I started having really dry eyes and...

Maybe have them try you on klonopin? I hear that Effexor doubles to help with anxiety, but I've yet to SEE the results from that....

Hi, don't fully understand how this site works yet, I'm using the mobile version of it at the moment. My question for people dealing with depression and anxiety is... Do you think it actually helps...
