New here

[lindasue]

I am new here so don't understand exactly how the posting and such works. I want to quickly introduce myself. I can only write for a minute. I am a 47-year-old female. I have suffered depression and anxiety all my life, but now has got to the point where it is ruining my life and functioning. This occurred after I lost my mom in February. I went through a horrific depression, lost 40 pounds, and cannot work. I keep taking too many of my Sterax and I run out and suffer more, I feel like a poor excuse of a human being, mother, and wife. I can't sleep at night and wake up in sweats. My mind races about all the bad things in the world, animal cruelty, the bad things I have done, what kind of mother I am, and so on. I just can't shut it off. I am supposed to start taking in a little work next and and am freaking out about it and don't know if I can do it.

Currently I take Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Ritalin, Serax.

Welcome! That's a start! We're all in some sort of condition like this too, so you'll feel right at home. PS: Quit kickin yerself around as some, if not 80% of this is being created by the mix of meds but you can clarify some of that later on.

Thanks for writing. I have never done this type of thing on line. I am tired of feeling sick and nervous. I am not as bad as some people, I can leave the house, but reluctantly. The passing of my mom has been unbearable to me. If you have time tell me about yourself and your comment on the meds I am taking...

Hi I am also new to this site, you like myself have lost confidence and have let your mind take over, mine has been with negative thoughts, over thinking situations and being insecure and thinking i am worthless. Have started medication and use hypnosis apps to de stress and relax. Also have looked into cognitive behaviour therapy which helps you to rethink things and train yourself in your thinking, you may find this also helpful. Also remember to put a challenge that you with fight it for ur husband and kids, I nearly lost my marriage and lost closeness with kids, no one understood until I went to doctor. Also remember you are still grieving you'd mum I asked lost my mum last August and it's been hard.
