Thanks. I did self harm last wed but did not tell him .....on my checklist I did check suicidal thoughts. He asked me if I would ever do and I said I think about it. He said you know its a mortal sin right (we are both Catholic) and I was like yeah and that is why I probably why I wouldn't do...
So I saw my doc and it was a good first initial visit. He agrees with my psychiatrist that I have PTSD. After talking to him and telling him some stuff it turns out I was sexually abused. I never told anyone about it and now that I think about it, I think that might be part of the reason why I...
Thank you for your response.
I wonder if the meds have anything to do with the si but i have had si before the meds. The urge to self harm is strong too.
Thank you. I don't like feeling this way and even though the majority of my issues revolve around my parents and brother my parents at least would be distraught if I did it.
I am also close with people at church but I'm tired of running to them with my problems. They cant fix them and I'm not...
Therisa of course you can. Thank you. I dont know if or how I will get over this issue. My doctor upped my zoloft and put me on klonopin but I still wake up throughout the night especially when I hear any little noise
I Have been having suicidal thoughts everyday. I also have the urge to si. I SI'ed last week but it was not bad.
I saw my psychiatrist last week but didn't tell him this. I told him about all the things that are making me want to SI and commit suicide but all he did was up my zoloft from 50mg...
Strongernow my anxiety is heightened at night too because my abusers would also come home high and wake me up. They would slam doors,talk loud and even knock on my door asking for stupid things like markers. The next day when you would confront them about it they would completely deny it.
I know how you feel. I don't like people in my personal space uninvited. That's why grocery shopping is really hard for me. I get anxious, I sweat, I get flustered, my heart races, I shake. Not cool
So I saw my psychiatrist today and he upped my dose of Zoloft to 100mg and put me on 0.5mg of Klonopin three times a day. I see him in three weeks to see if it helps....we will see I guess
I am also this way. I will talk to people when I feel comfortable around them but I am always on guard. During my four years of college I never spoke to anyone. I get very nervous and scared to talk to strangers
I am going to talk to him on Thursda. I notice i am always clenching my fists. Sometimes my jaw hurts when i wake up in the morning so i guess im clenching it at night. Maybe the zoloft is increasing my anxiety. I think i need something more for anxiety than depression. I feel like if i say...
Kayla i know exactly what yousaying as far as waking up with the stomping. I lived with my brother and his ex who did drugs and they constantly made noise. To this day when i hear the slightest noise i wake up
Ok I think I'm beginning to understand. I often have these episodes where I feel disconnected from myself and when this happens I always ask myself the same question. I ask why was I born? Now I am a Christian but for some reason I just feel weird and ask myself this and feel the need to talk...
Things at home have been so bad the past two weeks. I am so on edge especially at night. I cant sleep. I'm like an animal who hears every little leaf blow. Been on Zoloft for two months now and don't see therapist till August first. Don't know what to do.
I have read online and on people's posts about disassociation but I still do not fully understand what it is or feels like. Can someone please put it in kid friendly language for me?
Hey guys, I take 50MG a day. I started Zoloft toward the end of May. I have been having serious family problems the past 2 weeks and my anxiety is getting really bad, especially at night. Im like an animal on alert at night I cannot sleep. Every little noise I hear causes my heart to race. I see...
I have been on Zoloft now for two weeks. I was wondering if anyone else who has been on this has experiences nightmares? I have had some really scary and disturbing dreams. It is making me think of getting off of it but it has helped me sleep better and has helped with my anxiety a little
Maggiemay, I have also had a strong urge to self injure the past couple of days. I have done it off and on for about seven years now. I have also found myself thinking a lot about suicide; not me committing it but just about it.....
I just started Zoloft 2 weeks ago for PTSD and MDD. Not sure...
Hey hollyberrytea, I just started Zoloft yesterday. I too noticed my jaw clenching, it is quite annoying. I will see how the next two weeks go on the Zoloft. My sleep cycle is so screwed up from the PTSD and MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). Not sure if starting the zoloft made it worse last...
