My friend is begging me to rely on her, again, but I don't want to become dependent on her. I don't want to be unhealthy for her, but she really wants me to rely on her and be open. I do try, but sometimes I find it difficult or I'll think I'm telling her too much, that it's getting old. She...

I feel like giving up and disappearing tonight. I feel like I'm not needed and I could so easily take all of the pills in the house, medications that are not for me. I won't because it's too rushed, but I just don't want to try anymore. I feel exhausted. I tried reaching out to my friend saying...

Forgot to add that I do try and check on her once in a while, in the sense of how I may be stressing her out. We talk everyday 99% of the time so we check on each other throughout the day. I have told her to make sure she spends time with someone else and do fun activities with them. We also...

She always tells me that she will vocalize when something is too much or she can't handle it. She's had to once in the past(I don't remember due to my bad memory) and she doesn't seem like the type to not tell the person. I know it is a problem and I don't expect her to always be there. It...

Thank you for mentioning the sequence as I have a fear of the wrong medication "turning me into a zombie" but if this is a common experience then I would be more patient with it rather than let my anxieties or doubts get in the way.

I've really started to think that I am becoming dependent on my friend. In a way I can't blame myself because I understand my past and circumstances which caused me to heavily rely on her. She also insisted I do, and I feel I made that mistake. I'm sure one of the main ways to fix dependency...

I am not actively on these meds but my therapist sent a note to my primary who will refer me to a psychiatrist before I take anything. Out of curiosity, what have your experiences been with any of those or what do you know about it? Are there some possible side effects that I should be...

This was one of the medications suggested by my doctor, not actively taking it, and am a bit worried about this weight loss talk. I already struggle with eating and my weight and I feel like being given medication where that's an added issue, would make it worse for me. (I get so busy I forget...

Maybe but I don't live anywhere near the train and other stuff it doesn't make sense. I'd have my friend sitting next to me and I'd ask if she heard or saw what I did and she doesn't. I do get hyper vigilant though. My friend has noted that I am more aware of things that she's not, especially...

It's very common for me to hear random chatter that fades in then out. Sometimes a crowd, sometimes one person reading a list, or I'll hear a friend's voice. But I also hear cars, trains, sometimes I'll hear things more clearly that don't fade out like a bottle dropping, blanket or pillow...

I know that some people may hear or see things just as they're about to fall asleep, like on the verge of it.. But I hear and see things just when I'm tired. I don't get too nervous when I hear things. Sometimes I can tell it's not real, other times I can't. But I'll hear a little something...

I know how this may seem and I know typically it's bad if someone were to say this, but my friend has been having a rough past few months. Our relationship usually isn't this rocky. She's a huge support for me, I can't even begin to explain. She truly is an amazing person and has improved my...

I don't know why but I just feel like distancing part of me from my friend. No completely, but just.. putting more space there. I know this is me reverting to my old ways and my friend always tells me to not push her away, but it just seems better for her sake. I'm thinking I'll just stop...

I feel like my mind or touch with reality really dipped down today. It's probably due to stress.. I don't know where or how to start. My main concern is about my friend. At some point during the day or night, I don't remember, I told myself to not expect her to want to spend time with me. I...

Could I do two therapists at once..? I feel it would be a bit difficult and kind of awkward.. but maybe it could help. I go to one therapist one day of the week then I'll have the help of the other. If I forget to mention one thing to one therapist, I could mention it to the other.. But I know...

I considered a new therapist a little, but not much because I'm unsure about it. Having to search for a new therapist and having to talk to them about everything all over again.. I'm not fully against it, but it's just having to make all of the progress again though it's not like I'm fully...

And just so you understand, I'm not really the type to think I have every single diagnoses out there. I appreciate doctors who can take their time and figure out all of the symptoms and complications before making a decision or suggestions, but it just felt like she wasn't really.. consuming...

Outside.

I tried speaking with my therapist today. I was noting what I ate last week and I would tell her. I looked back and, at the most, I'd have two drinks and a cup of noodles on one day. My friend is concerned I may have some sort of eating disorder. I, personally, feel like it may be rooted with...

I'm sorry that this happened. I completely understand what it's like to not be understood at a young age, and even when I got a bit older. No one believed me because my parents were well known. It's frustrating.. it just takes one person to believe you to make it better. I hope you find that...

I have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and another type of doctor that tests my cognition and all that.. I can't remember the name, but that's where it was implied I have some sort of communicative issue going on but does not meet the criteria for a diagnoses. (Unspecified). I was also...

Ooh okay. Sorry about that. When I was saying she doesn't think I'm still depressed, it's because I only told her I was depressed when a few days prior I thought about jumping off a bridge haha. When it got serious enough that I realized I probably should mention it to her.. but I felt depressed...

I know you're right. I understand that she doesn't take the typical antidepressant and I know the tone instance doesn't mean it's the same for everyone or every day. I understand that at first, for some drugs, I may feel a bit weird as my body adjusts. And don't get me wrong. As much as it...

On Saturday I have my meeting with my therapist and I still want to discuss medication with her but I feel hesitant and I feel like it might not even happen.. she still thinks I'm not depressed and I'll have to tell her that I've been feeling depressed again ever since December and even a bit in...

I understood this and truly believed this. In fact I even corrected people who believed they were "happy pills" and believed they were bad for you. I told them that it was just the media and other people ruining the image of the pills.. but now I feel like I'm kind of going back to my paranoid...
