Without waking anyone up. Especially if you don't have anyone to talk to, because it is like 3AM and you can't sleep because of it...
Journaling can really help express your feelings
I recently went thru only a few weeks of ECT treatments and it has only made my depression and anxiety worse!
I am curious to hear about other’s experiences.
Thank you!
I had about 6-8 treatments. Since I am Bipolar the ECT's flipped me into mania. But my suicidal thoughts were gone! Don't know if I would do it again or not. Guess it would depend on what my doctor… read more
I'm wondering how to handle my grown children who seem to have forgotten I exist most of the time. We were so close while they were growing up even with all the problems and hard times we often lived through. But now I truly feel they do not care about me at all or have any need to have me in their busy lives. It is truly heartbreaking and makes me question why this has happened and what I have done to drive them away. Plus it makes me feel hurt and angry all the time. I wish I could live my… read more

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I currently take antidepressants. My husband is bipolar and takes all of the required medication. I am just wondering if anyone else are in a similar relationship. What are some of the challenges you face as a couple? One of my challenges is having to forget about my dreams and goals to accommodate my partner's. He doesn't seem to understand the meaning of compromising. I am not sure if this is part of his personality or if it's part of the bipolar… read more
Sorry to hear you only get lows. It must be so hard. My husband said he felt his best during his highs. The only downfall about that is that he was all over the place, spent lots of money, hardly… read more

The reason why I ask is because of my lifelong struggle with sleep, I was always told the sleepiness was most likely caused from depression only to find out later it could be the other way around because of my sleep issues it could and likely does cause depression, or I just have both.
I am in a lot of pain and have been for years now. It's got to the point I have a pain pump. For when I'm in pain I can't do anything. Sweeping, mopping, dishes, washing and drying clothes. It gets so… read more
I'm bi-polar with a severe anxiety disorder and in recovery so my psychiatrist has me on Buspar and Zyprexa and it doesn't seem to be working.

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.
I have the same problem when I want to cry so bad but no tears will come out

I tried THC gummies for the first time, out of curiosity, now that it's legal in my state, and it made me feel spaced out and disconnected from my emotions. (I think this is called "dissociation" in medical terms.) I have felt this way before but without drugs and it usually occurs when I feel extremely sad and depressed. I was shocked that THC could cause this and wonder why people would want to feel this way on purpose. Or is it just the effect it had on me because of my unique biological… read more
