I've been on 120mg of cymbalta for almost 4 years. It worked really well for me. But a few months ago, my anxiety came back. So my dr wanted to switch me to zoloft. So first she just added a low dose to my cymbalta. And my anxiety started getting better. I wasnt great but I was better. That was...

I feel like I'm getting a little better each day. I'm doing much better than I was a few weeks ago. At that time, I was crying constantly. I wasnt eating or leaving the house. It was horrible. But between therapy and my new meds, I'm feeling small changes. I'm not great yet, but I'm getting...

I'm not sure where to post this, so I just put it here. As some of you know, ive been having a rough time lately. I feel pretty unstable most days. Not suicidal. But like I'm one step away from a nervous breakdown. I almost admitted myself to a hospital last week. But I decided not to. But I...

So I had another bad day Yesterday. Crying spells, feeling hopeless. That whole ordeal. I went to My dr today. Crying and telling her what's going on. And that I'm scared. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. She told me that starting this process sometimes makes you feel worse. Because you are...

Well today I had my 1st appointment with my new therapist. She is super nice and easy to talk to. I am staying positive that she will be able to help me. Everyone there is very supportive. So im hoping for the best! My psych added lamictal to my meds to stabilize my moods. I haven't heard of...

I haven't been on here much lately. So I wanted to give an update on myself. As some of you know, last week was rough for me. Bad enough that I was in the admitting room of an inpatient hospital, I decided not to stay. The thought of being away from my daughter, husband, and family was too much...

I almost admitted myself today. The past week has been rough for me. The past few days have been hell. I wake up in a panic and can't seem to shake it. Somewhere I have lost myself. I'm not the same. I cry constantly. I've almost lost it. In the past week, ive lost 15 pounds. Eating makes me...

So for the past week, my anxiety has been up. Ive been pretty agoraphobic and haven't left home. Which is not normal for me. I'm usually go go go. But when my anxiety kicks in, I stay in my comfort zone. Anyways, my mother in law called today and wanted us all to meet up for lunch. I was...

For the past week, I wake up pretty anxious. As soon as I open my eyes, I feel like I could have a panic attack. I try to ignore it but I still feel it. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?? Its driving me crazy!!

I have done things in my past that I deeply regret. Things that I've never told anyone. One night stands, sleeping with a friend's ex boyfriend, make out sessions with complete strangers. Things that make me feel horrible. I hate that I did these things. Because it's not me. In my right state of...

Dear anxiety and dissociation, Welcome back. I haven't heard from you in years. And to be honest, I haven't missed you. Not at all. Actually, my life was wonderful without you. I don't recall sending you an invitation to come back. So I think it's best if you pack your bags and get out of...

This week has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Ive been feeling so down and negative. Crying all the time. Ugh! I want to try and push that aside. So let's be positive! I want to hear about something great that's happening in your life! Ready...go!!

I have episodes of depersonalization. Yay me. I haven't had any in about 3 years. Now they are back. A few people have mentioned grounding techniques. I'm new to these. My therapist has only worked on dealing with anxiety. But I have panic attacks because of my depersonalization. So I was...

I have been on cymbalta (120 mg) for about 3 years. I have had good results from it. But about a month ago, my anxiety and dissociation started creeping back. Is it possible that it's not working anymore? Also, I've heard that coming off of it is horrible. Let's say it's not working and I need...

I'm just curious what are your triggers? What causes you to have anxiety or panic attacks? Does anyone else get bothered by light? I feel better in a dim room. Do you feel better in the day time or at night? Do you prefer to be alone or with someone?

I'm so mad at what happened to me when I was younger. I'm mad that my abusers get to walk around and live life like nothing happened. I'm mad that I'm the one who has to suffer for what they did. Because of them, I'm psychologically stunted. I have to take meds and go to therapy to feel somewhat...

Does anyone deal with this? Or do you avoid certain places or doing certain things? For me, when I'm dealing with anxiety, I avoid driving. And today, I don't even want to leave my house :(

I wanted to open up and tell my story. 6 years old: I was molested by my uncle 9 years old: I was sexually assaulted by my brothers friend 11 years old: the boy across the street made me do things to him 11 years old: a boy down the road sexually assaulted me 13 years old: one of my guy friends...

I went to bed last night feeling pretty good. I was positive and hopeful. But this morning was not the best. My 6 yr old daughter started 1st grade Monday. I took her to and from school fine that day. Yesterday, my husband was here. So we both took her. But this morning, I had my uncle pick her...

My therapist recently told me that I worry too much and have catastrophic thinking. Which I do. I'm constantly worrying about any and everything. And I always fear the worst! I know I shouldn't but it's hard. Anyone else do this? Or have suggestions for changing ways of thinking??

I just found this site today. And already it has helped me out. Before today, I felt alone in this. But now I know that I'm not. I have

Just curious if caffeine can make dissociation worse?

So I've been on cymbalta for about e years. But it's starting not to work. So my dr prescribed celexa with the cymbalta. I have been nervous to take both. But I did this morning and it made me sick. I was throwing up and shaking. And I just felt horrible most of the day :(

I have been dealing with depersonalization for about 10 years now. Well, off and on. When it first happened, I got put on meds and therapy and I was fine for 7 years. Meds quit working. I changed meds and was ok until about a month ago. So here I am! I was recently diagnosed with ptsd and...
