- It feels like I am floating above myself...I know where I am, can carry on coversation, tell you what day it is, but I do not feel as if I am completely here. I have felt this way for years, but over the past year or two, have seemed to escape into...
- Hi there,My migraine headaches have been frequent and at times, the pain is severe. I have only ever used OTC pain relievers (Excedrin, Ibuprofen, and acetaminophen). I often will combine these, being mindful that Excedrin also contains NSAIDs and...
- I am struggling with loneliness very much. I moved last year to start school and have had a hard time adjusting. Everyone in my program is very kind - I have just found it hard to reach out to people and even when I am invited to things, have turned...
- I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa around 13 years ago. I have thought for the longest time that I was recovered, that it was no longer an issue. But recently, I have begun to question that notion and have realized I've held on to AN in more ways...
- I am going through a rough patch right now and have been the past several months. My depression feels as if it has gotten severe; I lack energy, experience daily headaches, difficulty concentrating, guilt, hopelessness, and most disturbingly to me,...
- For a long while, I've just felt like I am a bad person. Which truly makes no sense because I believe at heart, every person is "good" (we may do bad things, but that doesn't make us bad). Apparently i make an exception for myself. It becomes...
- I am wondering if anyone has experienced depression (either new or worsening) or just generally low mood while having iron deficiency anemia (IDA). After some mixed blood results (some indicators, like hemoglobin, were normal, while my RBC, iron,...
- I'm wondering if anyone else ever doubts the legitimacy of their obsessions. I sometimes wonder if what I am worried about is truly OCD, or if it really is a valid concern. I'm struggling with this especially right now with one of my current worries...
- Does anyone else feel nauseous when they're anxious? My anxiety has gotten fairly worse over the last few weeks, and I have been feeling sick to my stomach most days, for a large part of the day. My appetite has also been very poor. There are only...
- Does anyone know if benzodiazepines, specifically Xanax, cause rebound anxiety? Sometimes after I take Xanax and it wears off, I swear I feel MORE anxious than I did before. Is this an actual thing or is it just me noticing my anxiety coming back...
- Hi everyone,I just wanted to post my experience, in case this could help anyone out. A few months ago, I had a genetic test done and found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation, which means I cannot metabolize folic acid, which is essential for brain...
- I didn't realize there was a group for loneliness on this site, but I am very happy to find it.I'm a college student and much of my life, especially since early adolescence, have felt very lonely. In many ways, I have felt I do not belong on this...
- If you think you might possibly be triggered by hearing about my own OCD, please do what's best for you and click out of this now. I never like to post on here about myself because I am afraid of "giving" my OCD to others, and that is the last thing...
- Has anyone else here had bad hyperpigmentation scarring? I have dark spots all over my face, especially my cheeks, from acne. They are very noticeable. I am wondering if anyone here has found anything to help fade them, whether a product or some...
- I get very anxious when I have to speak in front of a group, whether formally or informally. I am trying to get better at this, and think maybe I have improved some over the years, but the fear of being judged (on my appearance, the way I talk, what...
