So right now in my recovery process I'm wondering if there is more to my story and I'm seeking a reevaluation. I have an appointment but I have a feeling about what they are going to say. Does anyone have any stories that will give me a better understanding of bipolar because the internet can only give you a general scope. I have massive mood swings that have began to make life difficult for my family and friends. I can't sleep but I'm tired all the time. One hour I'm crying but the hour before… read more

I am currently on Cipralex for anxiety and depression. It isn't working as well as it used to. I have been getting panic attacks lately, and they are slowly getting worse, and they always send me into a depression. I see a social worker, and I find that it is not helping very much anymore either.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

If I removed the triggers I would be living a life closed off to the world, would have to move, break connections from people I love and no technology.

I'm currently taking 25 mg of Zoloft every day. It's a pretty low dose, and I've been told it's basically the equivalent of a natural remedy. So I was thinking I could just replace it with an actual natural remedy. I'm not exactly sure what I could use though. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Hello

I am writing this on behalf of a close friend. What techniques do you recommend for coping when someone dies? Her grandmother passed away from cancer recently and she is finding it really hard to cope at the moment. I want to be a good supportive friend for her at this hard time in her life. This leads to my next question. She was really close to her nan when she was a little child. She does not want to see a therapist however just yet though I believe that this is a good idea.

When my anxiety gets bad, I think about really horrible things (like my friends and family dying) and I can't seem to stop. If someone I care about is running late or doesn't pick up their phone, I automatically think they're dead or in trouble or something. Sometimes I get really teary-eyed after I say goodbye to someone or after a fight because I worry I'll never see them again. Even with as irrational as the thoughts are, they just really stress me out.

Any advice on how to deal with these… read more

I have been depressed for more than a decade, and never really had the chance to give myself some of that "self love" that people talk about. Responsibilities, things going South in general, work (big factor), being there for everyone else. It's no so much a matter of time management, but how does one actually learn to love themselves?

I struggle with self-esteem issues, and I am pretty good at most things that I put my mind to - but I have just come to not enjoying anything I really do… read more

So my middle child since the age of 15 has had depression anxiety self harm and then he developed a drinking problem. He got better. He's been off his meds for three years and was doing fantastic. Suddenly over the last few months he's gone back to drinking nightly. His grades in college are tanking and he stopped going to work. Last night was the scariest for me when he drove drunk and wrecked his car. He has never nor would he ever drive drunk before. Something is really wrong. His girlfriend… read more
