I hate to say it (because it may work out to be very beneficial to you) but citalopram completely killed my libido. Also it was making me go up and down, up and down, instead of simply alleviating my depression. The former effect is quite common. The latter effect is somewhat rare. In any case...

Interesting. I don't know what it's called but it seems to me your experience is very similar to paranoia (which I've experienced a great deal). But your experience has an element of self-suggestion or something. A therapist might know.

Welcome to the forums. You've been through so much. I hope you can find a safe space here.

Welcome to the forum. Ladee was right-- there are a ton of caring people who will listen here. Whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.

Hi Swords, Man I wish I could just tell you something to make you feel better or give you a shoulder to cry on, but I can't. I know what that hopelessness feels like. And I know that I am virtually powerless to help you. All I can say is that it is good for you to reach out because we...

Those are the thoughts, man. It sucks when life gets hopeless. I have no idea where you are in life, so I can't tell you "things will get better" or anything like that. But I can tell you that more than one I felt the same way you do now and I was ready to throw my life away, but I didn't. And...

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced incredible wellbeing on the first day of taking an SSRI. I did. The drug also made me manic later on and was discontinued for that reason (I'm not manic-depressive). But the second day I was on it I felt WONDERFUL. No anxiety. I could...

I'm new too. Welcome. We came for the same reason. I wish you the best in seeking connections with others.

Thanks for welcoming me guys. Just hearing my experience confirmed by others makes me feel better. Also, after reading many posts here I see that I am lucky that my flashbacks and hypervigelence went away after only three years. My heart goes out to those who suffer long term from reliving their...

Hi to you too, Jojo. What you say makes sense.

Thank you BlueDream and kenziii. Nice to meet you.

Sexual assault survivor. I am not as paranoid as I used to be, nor do I relive the event anymore. After six years, the only remaining symptoms are generalized anxiety, nervousness about human contact, and extreme distrust of others. I also suffer from severe depression as I did before the...
