Thank you for the advice! I've heard so much about meditation. I just feel like my mind races too much to do it.

Is there any type of mental health coverage you can get? At one point I didn't have insurance and no way to get it. But I was able to get on a government based insurance that was just for mental health.

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 sleep with my bathroom light on and my tv on. I don't like the dark :(

I hate the bright sun. And I've never heard anyone else mention it. So I thought I was weird! I prefer cloudy or even rainy days

Drinking too much makes me panicky too. Which is weird because it use to make me feel better.

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?

There are definitely noises that drive me crazy! But they dont trigger me. It just irritates me.

I'm sorry that you have went through all that. Welcome to the forum! You are not alone here! This site has been such a big help to me. There is always someone to talk to. And Everyone knows how you feel :)

I just hate that people can do harm to someone, and then live their life with no consequences. What they did to me was bad enough...but I also have to suffer a mental illness.... :(

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...

Welcome! I think you will find this site very helpful :) the people here are so nice. I love it here!

Oh wow! It's a good thing you moved! You don't need to deal with things like that

Well I'm glad you overcame it! It's a horrible thing :(

I'm so sorry! That's horrible! People can be so mean and judgemental. They think because they are "normal" they can judge others! You are not alone. You have everyone here on this site!

That's horrible :( Ive never been to that point. But I have days when I don't want to leave my room at all. About 10 years ago, I didn't leave the house unless I had to. How did you overcome it?

Thank you :)

I am the same way. Not so much now with my husband. But there are times when I don't want to even be touched. But therapy has really helped me with it. Are you in therapy?

I do have a dog :) and she helps me. I've been anxious for a few days and she wont leave my side. Its like she knows I'm not feeling good

Home is def the best place to be! But I don't like being stuck at home :(
