I am feeling so much anxiety. At the same time I'm learning to calm myself down little by little.

I feel anxious with racing thoughts thrown in. I just sent out a bunch of paperwork so I feel relieved. Now I pray all that paperwork will help my situation.

@macca Thanks for the hugs. I needed them. On top of everything else I'm no longer in therapy. I was to switch therapists in the same office. I need a social worker to set up the appointment. She hasn't done it in over a month and refuses to call me back. I even left a message for the old...

I feel a little bit of hope. I found a program online for the uninsured who take abilify. If I qualify they will give me a year's supply for free. I'm pissed off at my doctor because when I told her that I might lose drug coverage she said I could go on samples. Not true. The nurse...

I am feeling shattered and lost after receiving notification that as of tomorrow I have no prescription drug coverage. I am on Abilify which is $1200 a month, Cymbalta which is $220 a month and four other medications. For a total of 5 psychiatric medications on which I was just finally...

I am currently taking 20 MG of Abilify. I need to stop taking Abilify due to a lack of insurance. Has anyone down dosed off of it? Are there withdrawal symptoms?

I understand being finished with a therapist. Just totally finished. I just ended therapy after 3 years earlier this month. I was just plain finished. Do you have your meds? There are so many meds that can send you into a horrible withdrawal if just stopped. I wish you the best of luck.

After a month on the name brand Cymbalta I didn't feel depressed and my anxiety was less. Now on the generic I see a difference. My anxiety over everything is worse and so is my depression. The generic is also making me very tired. A side effect that had just worn off when I was on the name...

Good for you for not doing EMDR when you weren't ready for it. I did an EMDR session when I wasn't stable and I had a bad reaction to it. I think that my therapist should have realized just how unstable I was and should not have done the session. So I'm happy for you saying no to EMDR. I'm...

I spoke my mind for the first time and had a positive outcome.

It was a balmy 52 degrees this morning. Now it is going to -25 degrees with the wind chill tonight. At least all the rain washed the eight inches of snow and ice mostly away. I'm holding out hope for the first day of spring. It's a long way away.

I am feeling good. I've had trouble with therapy for a while now. It felt like I was going in circles stuck in the past. Today I told my therapist that I was done doing therapy with her. She recommended another therapist. I'll give it a try. This is the first time that I spoke my mind and...

I am feeling better today after (hopefully) realizing what my exhaustion was due to. I'm hoping that it is not medication or depression related. I have energy for the first time in a week. So today I am happy.

I went for a short walk with a friend's dog.

@novemberDark I bottled up my tears for six months after my Mom died. I was in a severe depression until recently. Now I'm able to cry and express my emotions. Prior to that I was so far down I was numb. I have so much going on with me that it is hard to distinguish my symptoms among all of...

@Abstract I don't know where the grief ends and the PTSD begins. All I know is that my PTSD symptoms have been worse since my mother was in the ICU dying for fifteen days before she passed away. I think the experience of watching her slowly dying triggered all aspects of my PTSD. That coupled...

This year has been a rough one. I had to put my 14 year old dog to sleep. She was like a child to me. But I got through it by knowing that I gave her a good life. Then two months later I watched my Mom die. She struggled for fifteen days in the Intensive Care Unit. I'm still trying to work...

Thank you all for replying. I didn't expect such a response. I will write back more after I've fully digested what you all have thoughtfully written. My head is spinning a little right now-I'm not having the best of days.

I feel better than I did this morning when I had a major melt down.

I lost my dog and my Mom within two months of each other earlier this year. I find that my grief is more intense having PTSD then grief I experienced in the past without PTSD. I know that no two grieving processes are the same but really believe that my PTSD is playing a huge role in it. Has...

I have both auditory and visual hallucinations. I hear voices and see bugs that aren't really there. I don't freak out about them like I used to. Instead I tell myself calmly that they are not real. That and the antipsychotic medication I take help. I wish I had some magic way to make them...

I am feeling anxious. Rather a great deal of anxiety. I volunteered to go shopping for an ill friend later. The though of the grocery store has sent me into a tailspin. I'm tired of anxiety ruling my life. Right now I'm headed for a panic attack with my heart beating fast. I had to break...

I am feeling lost and isolated. Trying to navigate through this depression. And wishing that this holiday season would just fly by me.

I am feeling down. I started a new medicine for depression and don't know how long it will take to work if it works at all. I'm hoping it works.

I am feeling down and a little lost. Hopefully, someone can sort out the right medications for me when I speak with them tomorrow.
