i see a therapist every week. Sometimes I think she needs to probe me more. I tend to ramble on and I think we need to do some kind of CBT or DBT training now. I just went to the gym and had a great...

Getting by yeah my Jack is quite a handful sometimes. He's a handful most of the time. Especially now that we don't spend a lot of time outdoors and well my depression hit me hard. He's so cute!...
i take limictil and zyprexa, but only zyprexa until the limictal has a chance to kick in. I'm eating like a pig on the Zyprexa. I can't stand it. I just ate about 6 chocolate chip cookies dunked in...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif It just occured to me today that maybe I was having such a hard time last week because I was PMSing? I do feel 100x's better, but it could also be because I'm on...

eyes, why are you so scared to ask for them? has your therapist ever suggested that you take them? I was considering a life with out them and dealing through diet and exercise, but I am afraid that...
i buy lavender at least once a month. I keep half the bag in my room, and the other half in my car. I smell it and it relaxes me some. I get it at the health food store. I also grow it in my garden...
i was on lexapro several years ago and it made me CRAZY! I would get so frantic with anxiety that one day I was on the Tapanzee bridge during rush hour and I completely lost it! Called my pdoc office...
you know i think i might just do that. im going to take a nice bath and lather myself with my new lavender lotion and read my book i have been meaning to read for over a year now. I think might help...
thanks karen. i think i took abilify before. i can't remember when though. i've been trying different meds for years. i gained 40 pounds with depekote and paxil. I don't want to gain anymore. It's...
we are slowly decreasing the cymbalta. I dont think ill be off of it completely, but im not 100% certain of her plan as of yet. I went into her office holding back the tears and once I sat down they...

nope, it knocks me out though, so I dont take it. I can't even talk when I'm on it....
I usually post on the depression board, but today I was at my psychiatrist for a med check up and the cymbalta I take is not helping me get out of the stuck situation i am in. I have been bawling my...
Just got back from my psychiatrist visit. The second I walked into her room and closed the door I began to cry. She immediatly noticed that I was also shaking and we talked about what's been going on...
I went for a walk and I feel a bit better, but I will see my therapist tomorrow still. There's a lot of things on my mind, and being almost 35 and living at home for the past year has not been very...
This is the third day in a row that I have had dreams about my ex. I can't seem to shake him. Why do I have a hold on him still? Why can't I let go? I tried the breathing that was suggested, it...

Thanks for all the nice words. I know I will get through this, but it's like a coller coaster sometimes. Up and down....today I'm very anxious again. I had dreams about him all night and woke in a...
Thanks Karen. I'm getting a small note book that I will try to carry around with me most of the time and write them down so I can talk about them in therapy and how this medication makes me feel and...
I woke up this morning with that feeling I get when I know it's going to be a difficult day. I can't get my ex bf out of my mind. He was awful to me and I was awful to him in ways, but I can't stop...
You know I felt the same way when I was in. You're there because you need help and there was no therapy sessions, nothing really. I mean we had arts and crafts hour. Why? You'd think in a psych....
If it makes you feel any better I too have had a really hard time getting over my ex. At midnight I was with a few people, and thought of him kissing his new gf and it made me woozy. It wasn't easy...

thats what happened to me too. went from a more populus area to a very small out of the way bedroom town 45 minutes NW of Boston. I'm going to have to just take any job at this point. My anxiety is...
My anxiety has recently increased! Finding a job out here where I live is so hard. I am not far from finishing school, but I have to work to support myself, but I can't find anything. I mean I could...
Why do relationships make us depressed? Why do we torture ourselves over men who obviously aren't worth it? (and woman for the men) I think we have all been scared somewhere along the way. It gets...
