    Cymbalta Switched To Generic?

    I've had that happen with my Lamictal. It's "chemically the same", say some, but a lot of people can notice a difference. I noticed it right away when they switched me to generic.

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    @JadedGhost13 , I'm so sorry to hear your pet. My pets are the same way for me, and for the longest time, they were the ONLY thing keeping me alive. I can't bear the thought of no one taking care of them.

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    Sounds like I wrote that. Sometimes someone will ask me something, like at work, so I'll answer, and they'll just give me response like 'okay..' like shut up already and they'll start walking away while I'm still talking, answering their question or explaining something to them. I have a...

    "just Get Over It And Move On".... Funhouse

    That's weird... normally an empath would never tell someone to "get over it", because they themselves are told that all the time, because they reallllly overanalyze and overthink things, and things are much more hurtful to them than others. I would think she would know what you're feeling.

    Social Security Disability For Ptsd

    I gave up on my dream of getting SSI. It will never happen. My mom would never let me go to the doctor for my "mental problems", as she didn't take them seriously. I didn't see a doctor about them until I was almost 19, two years ago. Without any documentation or being able to see a consistent...

    My Nightmare With Seroquel

    I was put on seroquel for sleep and anxiety. I believe it was 25mg, as needed. Well, how is it supposed to be helpful for anxiety, when it makes me sooo drowsy and unable to stay awake? I usually have my anxiety at work, and then taking it and being unable to stay awake would just put me in a...

    Neurontin. Just Got Prescribed It. Experiences?

    I've been on neurontin since June.I was put on it for my chronic daily headaches. I started take 300mg, 3 times a day. At first it put me in a daze, but it was a fun daze and made it easier for me to talk to people. It helped with my anxiety A LOT. It wore off, so the dr prescribed 600 mg 3...

    Best Jobs For Ptsd

    Called Suicide Prevention Hotline Before Lunch On A Work Day.

    I will never call the suicide hotline. The one and only time I ever did, then called the police to have them come take me to the psych ward, which was a terrible, terrible experience. The doctors nor the nurses were supportive, AT ALL. They were constantly picking on me, the nurses made me cry...

    1097 Days And Counting....

    Thank you, I'm surprisingly touched that you said congratulations. Thank you. Most people focus on the bad, that it happened in the first place, no one really thinks about the other side of it, the fact that it hasn't happend again.

    1097 Days And Counting....

    Good for you. It's been over 2 years for me. August 12th 2011. The day my life was ruined. I consider my life a new life though. Can't say I haven't had my thoughts though.

    Fear Of Sex Caused By Trauma Not Related To Sex?

    Yeah, I ended up letting him do it and it wasn't that bad, so I won't need to worry about it for awhile and don't wanna talk about it anymore. About sex, I literally feel/think that it's gross.. I mean I just want to go about my life innocently as I instinctively do. It''s just unknown and...

    Fear Of Sex Caused By Trauma Not Related To Sex?

    Well my one med (my main one) is actually supposedly supposed to cause INCREASED sex drive, which didn't happen, but I just did some research and my headache med (I have chronic daily headaches) is supposed to lower sex drive. I wouldn't mind changing my headache med, except for the fact that if...

    Fear Of Sex Caused By Trauma Not Related To Sex?

    I do not have a therapist, I don't have health insurance. So no, I am not getting any professional help. I haven't always had a fear of sex. It's since I was put on one of my meds. (I go to the free clinic for that, but they are volunteers and have no time for actual therapy, since it's only...

    Fear Of Sex Caused By Trauma Not Related To Sex?

    It sucks, he uses guilt as a tool to have me. One time he wanted to do it, so I said "let's just get it over with" and he was fine with that. One of my best friends is a 49 year old man (I'm 21), and it's not in a creepy way at all, he said that it wasn't right. But I'm not going to leave my...

    Fear Of Sex Caused By Trauma Not Related To Sex?

    I have a question. I'm new on here and to be honest, I'm nervous to post on here, due to the fear of being scrutinized. My trauma is unrelated to any sexual abuse (that I know of..) My boyfriend and I live together and are in a committed relationship. When we first met, I was pretty...

    It Happened. Now What?

    I'm sorry, that didn't sound very sincere. I just don't know what to say to people, I normally just sit by and let everyone else do the talking. I really do wish you the best though. I can't say how I would feel in your situation, as I have never had an "exam" either.
