We don't have a pressure cooker but I have an assessment to get dental implants on Tuesday. Once they do the initial metal implants it takes about a month to heal before they can get the permanent ones in there. I also have a partial upper denture being made until I have to get the rest of my...

For some reason and for years "history of bipolar" has been written in my chart. Even though I'm not bipolar, and never have been cause I don't think that's something you could get rid of if you had it anyway. But it's there. My parents, the abusive ones who's main aspect of abuse was...

@Pilgrim I looked up symptoms for lyme disease and I have some weird welts on my chest/stomach that sort of look like the welts that lyme disease causes but I've had this for a LONG time now it's not recent, do the welts/rashes stay or do they vanish? Do you know? I mean they aren't skin cancer...

Yes believe it or not depending on what the veggie is it can still be very hard to chew. I have put veggies in a slow cooker for 8 hours that I still couldn't chew after 8 hours. Carrots are still too firm, most peppers are, onions are a definite no. Even tomatoes CAN be a pain of the skin is...

Yeah I do this too but those dreams for me are like they feel like I actually am awake and doing stuff. Just now I fell asleep for about an hour and I was dreaming that I was doing something I would normally do but it was also some how terrifying as well, I dunno the mood or the tone of it. When...

Right now I'm about to go into debt to get dental implants cause that's basically the only thing that is going to help me. As of now I can't eat almost any veggies. I can't tell you how bad I crave salads. Even still it's going to be a month or two until my mouth is healed enough for this and...

True but my nightmares or what I would consider to be nightmares are about my father or other abusive people I've been in relationships with. These dreams don't have those people but they are still unsettling just not terrifying. Guess the point is it doesn't really matter.

I have had my thyroid tested twice and my adrenal gland tested once nothing abnormal with any of those tests. I've had celiacs tested at least four times. Not even a small sign of gluten intolerance. It's not glandular as far as I can tell and my insurance isn't going to pay for me to keep...

Yeah I have IBS, GERD, joint pain, post nasal drip, gastroparesis, all of them diagnosed but no one wants to help me treat the symptoms of any of that. My diet is extremely poor now cause of my teeth but I'm too poor to afford a good solution to this in the moment. Basically I'm very poor and so...

For the past week or so I've had very weird dreams, they are unsettling, maybe even a bit scary but I wouldn't exactly call them nightmares cause nightmares cause me to wake up terrified. These are just strange but they still make me not want to sleep? Or dread it I guess? Or are these...

Also I'll be sure to tell my social worker, and psychiatrist who help people with service animals for a living they are completely wrong about how they do their jobs cause clearly they don't know how to do them if they are the ones helping me. Oh and they totally haven't done it before or...

Um then why is the information I'm getting from landlords saying something completely different?

There are still a huge host of things they won't check me for that I could possibly have. I'm really skinny and they already know from tests I have problems absorbing certain nutrients (no it's not celiacs been tested three times for that) it's basically right now some undiagnosed malabsorption...

I've done a lot of research on this. In the US where I live you only need a psychiatirst to back the animal as a service animal. I don't intend to take him anywhere with me it's specifically when I'm alone. As such if the papers are filled out and I have a therapist to back it up its fine. I'm...

I have found out how to get my dog registered as a service dog for PTSD I was wondering if anyone else here had service animals? I was talking to my therapist about what helps my anxiety/fear/diassosation and my dog came up. He always helps me feel safe cause he's huge and he's something I can...

Wow I'm so glad other people think this way as well. I constantly think I am just going insane. Even after reading about the disorder and agreeing it fits me and getting a diagnosis I still think there must be something wrong mostly because I think I lie to myself about how bad things were as a...

At this point my friend, she has fibromyalgia, she said that's what all my symptoms sound like. Not that she's a doctor but she said she has all the same complaints I do. The same pain and things like that (though I agree it could be CFS as well) but no doctor will run any sort of test to check...

I am tired ALL the time. ALL the time. IT is not depression related. Trust me. I am not suicidal. I don't think life is pointless/hopeless, I don't want to die. I've been depressed, I've been suicidal, trust me I KNOW what that feels like because I've been there before. This isn't the same...

Thanks ocean5. The problem with me is a lot of my issues are physical as well as mental but when I go see doctors they always want to refer me to psych as if I don't have several diagnosis that would cause me chronic pain. Sleep deprivation like I have now, and struggle with, can make mental...

Update: The side effects I explained to my doctor were really concerning to her she told me to stop taking it. Today seems to be the worst day by far. I can only focus on really negative thoughts and I'm very very sleep deprived but luckily they are taking me off the meds.

Luckily for me I've only been on it for six days and at a low dose, 25mgs so I'm seriously considering stopping. I'm going in to see someone today about it but I'm just probably going to tell her I'm going to quit it or ask how to quit it because I can't stand how it makes me feel. I wish it was...

I appreciate the input but I'm not suicidal now, I haven't been in years since I was in my teens, right now this medication just feels like it's physically kicking my ass. I have no thoughts of harming myself or any thoughts of dying. Dying still scares the crap out of me. You seem to think it's...

I already tried celexa and it made me super incredibly panicky I couldn't breathe and was terrified of everything. Anything I've tried to go on recently has made me react terribly. I was on Prozac for six weeks and went insane with how apathetic I became so I stopped it. Celexa drove my panic...

Well I'm on a list to get counseling, I see a therapist once a week, they started me on medications that seem to have made me 10 times worse but to be fair I've only been on them a week. So it seems things have just gotten a lot worse. I do "help myself" I read about things to do, ways to...

Yeah I'm going to give her a call tomorrow. Honestly I don't feel hopeless or worthless or even suicidal but I do feel completely unmotivated and numb most of the time and that's what bothers me. I don't want to die but I feel like no motivation to do anything and this isn't at all what I was...
