Hi Shamy I added you to my team how are you keeping?
I didn’t know how to word this question and I do t know how to word this paragraph. But, I was just wondering, because absolutely hate my job. I always feel that I’m not good at it. I feel like a failure. Every time I look at my roster I feel depressed and get anxiety at the thought of having to work knowing full well what is going to happen to me, mentally. The people are nice. Well some of them. Of course there is always those few backstabbers. Thats another reason why I hate it. But also, my… read more

I take 300 mgs of Seroquel to sleep, when I don't take it I don't sleep at all, but lately with everything that's going on I find it very hard to get to sleep, stay asleep or get good sleep. Any suggestions as to what I could do with out having to take more meds ? Not sure if maybe the Seroquel isn't the right medication for me ?? Thanks in Advance for any help y'all may be able to give !
A blunt or2 Weed is the only thing that helps me sleep.Wish they would legalize marijuana
I'm sick of my weight gain I hate taking citalopram I just want to stop taking my meds to regain my life and figure and get back running again.

I know alcohol is a depressant and can react badly with medication. I ask because I would love to have a glass of wine with a meal when out ( not that I do so often, just if I'm particularly bright ) so would be a rare pleasure, but not worth it if it puts me back x
I’ve noticed my speech is now slurry , not sure if it’s because of taking meds now .
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. I've just started a new diet but find the drugs cause carb cravings and increased appetite. How do people deal with this problem? I feel in despair about it as when I come off the… read more

If you've been admitted into the behavioral health unit in the hospital, do you feel shame after you've been discharged? I feel so ashamed and embarrassed that I was there. My extended family knows and I told some of my closer friends why I was in the hospital but couldn't have visitors. I'm so embarrassed about it and I can't even stand seeing anyone because of it. Is it normal and what do you do to overcome it?
I been in and out of hospitals for years and stayed in one for 5 months. There is nothing absolutely nothing to be shamed or embarrassed about. It helped me in so many ways. My family and friends knew… read more
