Did any of you ladies find a change in your menstrual cycle since you started using an SSRI Antidepressant?
I was placed on Nuzak (20mg) about a month ago and I am currently on my period (Day 5). My usual period cycle is 28 days with an average period length of 5 days which means I'm supposed to be finishing soon, however, I've noticed that my period pain has increased and so has my flow. Could this be because of the antidepressant or am I just having a bad month? I would like to know from my fellow female… read more
Depression/Bipolar II (hypomania)
Depression/Bipolar II (hypomania)
Many years ago I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. A couple years ago, due to symptoms I described to my doctor, he added a diagnosis of Bipolar II (hypomania, which is characterized by fluctuations from depression to "just above" normal - not manic episodes as in Bipolar I).

I have suffered with depression all my adult life (I am 31) and have had periods where I have been perfectly in control with medication.
However when I am not in control my sex drive is dangerously high. I have been in a (generally) happy relationship for 13 years but in the past 18 months since turning 30 I have been uncontrollable. I still love my boyfriend very much… read more
How can I deal with her?
How can I deal with her?
My mother emotionally abuses me. Im scared that her anger is aggrevated everyday and that she'll end up physically hurting me.
Last time she nearly punched me in the face because I said she is a little aggressive. Ironic, right.

Anyone else experience a cancer diagnosis or medical condition that greatly impacted their Depression?
I was able to scoot by for several years dealing with my depression up until 2017 when I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer. After getting through the treatments I felt like my depression went downhill significantly and became very unmanageable, especially after my second melanoma diagnosis end of this last year. I know it sounds silly but I feel like my brain changed in some way after dealing with those… read more

How do you find love again, when you have been depressed for so long?
Background info: I've been depressed for over 25 years, was married, and had 2kids. I have been alone for over 16 years now, and can't believe that someone would even want to be with me.
