- Hello, everyone. It's been a little while since my last visit to this group. I've been especially better the past month or so and I'm trying new meds that seem to be working. But, this week I noticed my heart racing at work, grinding my teeth, and...
- Hello, all. I haven't visited this group for a little while because I was feeling a lot better over the spring and summer. Then, about two months ago, the stuff really hit the fan at my job, which I was really enjoying up until my boss decided to...
- I haven't posted in here for awhile. I was much more active in the anxiety group, but was feeling better until recently and now I'm feeling very depressed, not anxious. Mainly I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may never be able to have...
- I emailed my doctor about tapering off my Lexapro, which I've been taking for 15 months. They want me to come in for an actual appointment with the doctor because if I say I'm "symptom-free, it's because of the meds." This was coming from a nurse...
- December has been crazy. Neither my husband nor I have had any kind of a rest for weeks what with work and getting ready for the holidays. My husband's mother and her husband are staying with us and I'm really on the verge of losing it. We had no...
- Ugh, I haven't felt this way for awhile but I'm really anxious right now about my husband's dad visiting later this week. It will be the first time anyone from my husband's family has visited us since we got married. My father-in-law is pretty...
- Just thought I'd share. Good insights and a lot of this rang true for me! http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2014/oct/16/social-anxiety-mundane-terrifying-psychology-stress
- I have been coping with anxiety for years but only just found what works for me in the past year year. That's because I sought help and information and I started taking antidepressants. Fortunately for us, there are dozens of strategies we can use...
- I was on Lexapro 20mg and I felt numb and sleepy all the time, so my doctor decided to take me down to 10 mg. It has been two weeks now and I think I'm going through some bad withdrawal symptoms. Thought it was my period, but I think it is much...
- I visited the doctor on Friday and told him I'd been feeling very flat and emotionless. I thought I was depressed but not sure if it was just being too leveled out on the Lexapro. When I took the anxiety quiz they gave me I had zero anxiety... which...
- I started taking Lexapro earlier this year after being off antidepressants for 20 years. I mainly took it to treat my anxiety, but depression has been a lifelong problem for me. I felt better, happier, calmer, for awhile. Then, this summer, things...
- I know that everyone has their own experience and meds react differently for everyone, but I wanted to know if this is a common experience and what do I do about it. I started taking Lexapro earlier this year for GAD. It helped a lot for a while. I...
- I am posting here because I haven't found a group for childless women and because I know this issue is contributing to my depression. In a nutshell, I am 37, married for the second time to a man who has two children of his own. He had a vasectomy...
- I came across this and thought I would share. This video boils down exactly what science is saying about depression right now. Basically, it goes beyond a chemical imbalance and there are biological, neurological, and genetic foundations for...
- Hey everyone. Things continue to be tough right now. Traveling to the states, being around family and worrying about finances are taking their toll. And I think I'm feeling depressed and anxious because of everything that's going on. I'm realizing...
