I noticed people have viewed this post but no replies. I'm probably just a crazy person.

I wish I could feel what you feel. I try to pray forgiveness, but it doesn't seem to happen. :(

I have so much on my mind lately, I don't know where to turn or what to do. I just want to get it out of my head and down somewhere. I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread. I just need to ramble a bit. My ex-husband/abuser is getting out of prison on the 18th or 19th of this...

@whiteraven thanks for responding. Yes, I have been diagnosed with PTSD and I'm not sure what else. I was first diagnosed with depression in 2001 after my son was born and it was ppd then. I've been trying to decide on a therapist since my insurance changed in January. I hadn't seen my previous...

I don't know what to do. I feel kind of down &/or blah. I was told by my primary dr. that my labs came back that I am post menopausal. That doesn't bother me other than wonder if it's causing some of my problems. I quit taking topamax because it didn't seem to help my mood, but also helps...

@bellbird flashbacks do suck. I am having a tough time shaking the thought of it. I haven't had any quite a while I guess because of medication and never this strong. And was just a vision of a bedroom where I lived no one in there just a room. I think emdr would be good. I never heard of the...

I am a survivor of many years of mental abuse of a man I lived with/father of my 3 children, since I was 18. He went to jail in 2004, for sexually abusing my 2 daughters. Biologically they are his children too, but i say they are mine, because he doesn't deserve them. I had a flashback last...

@joeylittle thank you, I appreciate it. I don't say much, but I get on here and check out things some. You've always been helpful and informative. I just get so tired of this battle. Been on medication 18 years and that's probably not long compared to some, but I want to "get well" or as...

@joeylittle She had told me if I get sleepy to take it at night, which I am now. But I'm noticing I'm more short-tempered with this. Have you had experience with this medication or has anyone else? I know on some meds they say to go up it helps. She told me at 8 days take 1/2 of .5 and then...

The psych doc just added Abilify to my Effexor and I took it after I picked it up at 11 and I'm getting really sleepy now at 1:30 pm. Is that normal. It says it can, and the doc said maybe but at a low dose she didn't think it would. When I google it everyone talks about how it kept them up...

Wow, I haven't been on this site as much as I probably should have been seeing all these posts. I have an almost 6 year old granddaughter that we just got guardianship of who is wanting attention so badly. She never got a lot form her mom, but I have a hard time with her just hugging on me...

I'm on effexor and topamax and busiprone. I mainly take it to help me sleep. Trying to get p doc to prescribe something else to add to effexor. No energy to do much and when I do have a bit of excess anxiety, I take 10 mg. of busiprone and I really struggle to do anything..it's like blah. I...

@Deanna's Gap what do you take with it?

They just upped my medication, due to being extremely down and stressed. Now, though I think I should be more emotional in a good way to speak or it would be "normal" to be sad about my son graduating high school as he is my youngest. But I'm not feeling much of anything about it. Is this...

Well, I think I'm feeling better mostly. Now this week is the week of graduation for my youngest from high school. I was getting kind of weepy about it before, but now I hate this but I don't feel anything. I'm not sure I like that right now. I should feel something. I was feeling pretty...

I was thinking this morning, maybe I jumped the gun and should have tried more self care as you call it waiting it out as I usually do first before adding more medication. I don't usually jumped to adding more medication. I hadn't seen an pdoc in over a year this time and it had been longer...

(moderator moved from this thread) @bellbird I just went up this morning to 300 mg. I was on 150 mg. for over a year, but I hadn't seen a psychiatrist or a therapist in that time either. I saw new T last week thought I was doing pretty good. The new psychiatrist about a month before new T...

To be happy, not numb most of the time from medication. I would like to get off a lot of the medication. I don't know if I can get off all of it, but most I hope. Not feel like I'm a fake and to just generally feel better about myself and be a happier person to be around instead of being angry...

It sure was a scary feeling and I think I freaked my daughter out too. :(

I don't know if it was a flashback or what happened. But I am a mother of an adult now, but my oldest and youngest daughter but mostly oldest was sexually abused by their bio father. I was molested when I was 11 years old and my mother did nothing about it. Covered it up, so to speak. Then...

Well, I did push for her to get in contact with her counselor she had started seeing and told her she needed to talk it over with her counselor. I haven't heard any more from her about it. When I did try to talk to her a little more about it and asked what she did when she realized it was...

@Nessa7 that is exactly what I was told by my husband. We talked about it that night because he couldn't sleep, he kept seeing her as his baby girl of course. But kept trying to remind himself she is an adult. Finally got to sleep and I asked him after thinking about it, what happened after...

Am I awful person, for just letting her figure out how she is going to deal with it and not trying to fix it?

@Zoogal I'm sorry. It is a very confusing messed up situation and I'm probably just going to have to deal with it. It just sucks when I'm messed up too. :cry:

I guess maybe it's an uncomfortable situation for everyone here and I'm sorry about that and maybe people don't like how I'm handling it. I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing either. I have issues of my own too. I'm sorry for bringing it all up maybe I shouldn't have said anything. :( I...
