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'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.

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I currently take antidepressants. My husband is bipolar and takes all of the required medication.

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
