Depression

Hi ~ I've struggled with depression for years (I'm 52), counselors, meds, the usual. I have thankfully pulled out of it, or so I thought. I'm now realizing that I think I've truly just been pretending, lying to myself all these years. I have never liked myself! I'm not evil, but I'm...

Good afternoon guys, I have previously made posts about my depression,but I have being depressed for about two year now. At the beginning I was put on antidepressants which worked like instantly! I made the mistake of not continuing them! A year later I have now started taking antidepressants again.the...

Hello, thanks for reading and I apologize for the length.  About a month and a half ago, something happened in my relationship (my fault) that kind of triggered (at first) an enormous amount of guilt.. which then subsided a little bit. I was good for a few days and then bam... "do I love him?"...

This has got to be the worst I’ve been with my anxiety and depression. I was put onto citalopram 8 weeks ago and then upped to 30mg . I’ve noticed no improvement in my health, I’m having 4 hours sleep a night and worrying about returning to a job I hate in a few weeks even though I don’t feel better...

My life hasn’t been easy. I’m 41 single constantly struggling financially even though I have a good skill set (web developer)  I have a horrible family. My dad went missing 21 yrs ago. He used to beat my mom. My brother is non existant in my life. And my mother enables me and put me down constantly....

The last couple years i've been dealing with what i'm told is depression. I've felt this way for really as long as i can remember just on and off and much more subtle but, ever since highschool graduation it's manifested into something i don't want to live with anymore. It's not...

Long story short - i have anxiety for a while now and i think its become depression now. My body feels really weak and out of enegry. Ive lost all interests in going out or being social. My mood is constantly low and ive been this way since the atart of April. Last month. I also have this automatic inner...

When I got out of hospital. The doctor doubled my venlafaxine. Bad headaches. Feeling sick. Sometimes wish I didn't wake up. My daughter won't speak to me .How does anyone else get on with venlafaxine?

I discovered I have depression about an year back and I'm being treated. Turns out that I've had depression all my life. Not a great surprise when my parents ate abusive. I didn't realize that they are abusive until recently. I've no one of can actually talk with. Finding someone to talk...

I have been on lots of different types of medication for depression and bipolar disorder. Some medication helped for a short time. Most of the medication I was on made me feel worse. So is there something that I am needing?

Ive been on sertraline for 8 months now, started with 50mg in september until january then had it upped to 100mg, after 4 months i have began to get anxiety everyday for the past week or so, has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Hey guys I hope all is well. I am a 26 year old guy and cut a long story short, recently I have gone into a state of confusion and depression which seems uncontrollable. A couple of weeks ago I started a part time job as a labourer just earn some money for when I graduate. Prior to this I was...

Hey Everyone and Happy Hump Day! So I came here initially, as many others do, looking for advice, answers, support, and anything that would help me understand my situation. However, I realized that I would be better served as someone who help others because I don't think anyone can help me. Only...

I have this since I was 14 . Now I am 16 . All I need is help with my depression.Thats all.....pls help.....pls.... HELP MEEE!!!!!

I was on 50mg of Sertraline, I have gone ‘cold turkey’ without any withdrawal symptoms.  My GP did not specify how long after stopping the Sertraline, I should start the Fluoxetine. Has anyone any previous experience with switching, how long should I wait? (I’m 22, if that matters)

Everyone I speak to says I'm suffering from simply anxiety. I keep telling myself that too but I can't convince myself as easily with all the symptoms I put up with. I thought the second/dozenth opinion would be better from people who've suffered it too. So, list time + The main one is tricky...

Hi guys,  I chose not to expose my real name in this thread bcos’ I am scared.. I hope you understand. I guess the reason why I am in this online forum is bcos’ I have no one to talk to, I just literally lost everyone and I want to die. I am so empty and I have been a great disappointment to my...

Hey folks It's been a few months since I posted on here and I was kinda after some advice... I have had a lot of really bad things happen the last couple of years that I won't go into but I got to the end of last year feeling so depressed and anxious that I really couldn't cope any more....

My girlfriend and I were together for two years after almost 10 years of friendship. We kind of rushed into things and fell in love really quickly she was going through a divorce I had just lost my father and we sort of depended on each other for for happiness. Overtime we both eventually sort of lost...

So... I was iffy on doing this but I am desperate. My girlfriend is transgender, (male to female) and she lately has been feeling depressed as well as having thoughts of Suicide... she tells me that she’s been feeling like she hasn’t had any motivation lately, and she feels lost. Last month we broke...

Me and my wife were together 14 years before we got married. 6 months after she had an abortion saying she couldn’t cope with our 5year old and me). Soon after we separated all she would do was play on her iPad and binge watch Netflix. Now 1 year later (after moving out changing her name and taking money...

I’ve been battling with depression for two weeks now. My dad who have been my greatest hero passed the veil and left the mortal life. I feel like a part of me is empty. I don’t have someone to talk to now, I don’t have someone who will comfort me when I’m in big trouble. I feel lost to this very cruel...
