Hi Nico! Pets are the best! They are loyal loving and great companions. I have a cat and she is my emotional support my everything.
I find myself watching tv & my mind isn't really watching it & I will start crying uncontrollably for no reason. Is there a way to stop this crying so much when I don't even know why or what I'm crying about?

Hi. I'm really needing support right now Has anyone here had a really negative effect(s) on Wellbutrin ER?

I have been reading so much about how the medication that we think is making us well, actually keeps us 'sick', I am curious. I have been on anti-depressants for so long now, I wonder...or am I paranoid?
Yes and I feel the same on or off them none of them seem to continue to work after I’ve been on the max dose for a week or two but I often start and stop them because they keep switching them on me so… read more
So I've been reading that a good cry can help release a lot of trauma. But I can't seem to cry. I get a bit weepy, but no flood gates. I guess looking for ideas or something. Thank you.
