How do u keep from giving up on finding a partner, when everything they do can be misconstrued as rejection...?

I am usually on a “cocktail” of several (4 or 5) medications. But after a time, they stop working. My dr plays with the dosages and it helps for a short time. It usually takes a hospitalization and ECT before a new “cocktail “ can start working.

Hi I've been on different antidepressants for years and am currently on cymbalta/duloxetine. All of them have caused me to put on weight, which causes more depression and not liking myself. I was slim and active before I started these medications. Now I feel too tired to exercise, whereas I used to be active.

Over the past few months I've struggled with my appetite, and in turn I've lost a lot of weight and I find it difficult to eat even half of what I used to at a meal.

Happy holidays 🎄😊♥️
