So about a month ago as well as about a week ago I had a really bad experience. I experienced hallucinations in my room and it really freaked me out. The worse one was when I was in my bed and I was listening to music. All of a sudden I hear a woman in the background crying(in the music). I...

So for a while I was feeling better because I got a change in my medication, I finally managed to get a job, and I was doing pretty good. A new, good friend, who is now my love interest and things are good. But things are slowly going downhill again. I couldn't continue my job because it was...

A friend of mine has expressed determination about suicide recently. She's attempted many times before and this time she feels that it is the best decision for her. Her life is really difficult due to her health and people not willing to accommodate her disabilities (work, friends, etc.) and...

I was just wondering why even though I'm taking antidepressants I'll still get moments where I feel severely depressed and get suicidal thoughts. It's different while on the pills, though, because when I get suicidal thoughts I feel determined at one point or another. It's definitely improved...

A handful of days ago I decided to open up to my parents about how I've been seeing a therapist for about a year and have decided that medication is something that would greatly help me. I originally didn't want to tell them. My parents were really physically abusive for most of my life and...

For those that have seen my past posts then you would understand. Basically it was concluded by people that my relationship with my friend was not healthy. I decided to put space and for the past couple or few weeks it seems to be doing some good. My friend isn't worried about me or stressed by...

This doesn't usually happen for me. Usually I'll get really anxious, at the most, a day and eventually have some panic attack lasting for some hours, I fall asleep, and it's either lesser or gone for a while. But for the past few days it's like the level of anxiety is constant. Maybe a little...

I am trying to get myself a psychiatrist so I can get medication because I know for a fact it will help me. I used to be terribly fearful of medications, but right now I feel ready to give psychotropic medication. I contacted a psychiatrist and informed him of my situation. I don't want other...

Lately I've been having dreams where I'll be in specific scenarios and something in the dream, whether it be someone reaching to touch my shoulder, someone offering a cup of coffee, or giving a weird look, etc., would make me feel like I couldn't breathe. It would skip the initial anxiety...

My friend has noticed that I've been getting worse and feels really close to wanting to call an ambulance. I don't blame her and I am well aware that talking to her about this stuff is not correct. I don't want to, but she insists and I get so desperate to talk about it somewhere that I end up...

I was initially unsure where to put this. I thought I'd put it under relationships, then depression, but I concluded anxiety may be better as I am really concerned that I will legitimately lose my mind and I don't know if that's part of one of my anxieties.. I believe it to be true and I believe...

Last week on Friday I started a new pill called Nortriptyline. Not for my depression but for my constant headaches and body pains. I've noticed many things. In the first two days I noticed my appetite was crazy and I was super drowsy. After those initial two days my appetite went back to...

For those that have seen my multiple threads you'll know about my relationship with my friend. She is an amazing friend. I've been told by multiple people different things, to have her leave me alone, to leave her alone, to not leave her at all.. In the past I have tried to put distance...

For some time now my dreams are either nightmares or very offsetting. My dreams have always been vivid and graphic, so they can be super pretty and very detailed.. this works against me when it's a nightmare. Night after night I've been having dreams that revolve around death, loss, and...

My friend has mentioned this to me before, in the past, and I think I've thought about it myself. I'm not sure and I guess I kind of feel bad about it. I guess there were some red flags I consciously ignored because I was so desperate to get whatever help I could get. Before I say anything I...

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...

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 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...

Can antidepressants cause you to feel unnaturally happy? I only recently started to consider taking medication(last time I did it was forced and I ended up fully rebelling against the idea) and just when I'm about to think medication can be helpful and it won't change who I am, a friend of...

Not so much of someone pointing a finger and insulting you, but when someone tells you straight that your thoughts are mere delusions fueled by anxiety and paranoia. And if you experience hallucinations, how did you handle being told that?

I am curious to see how many out there have other disorders or symptoms. I have been diagnosed with OCD and experience psychosis here and there. I do have other diagnoses but I feel those "makes sense" if that makes sense. (Social Anxiety and Panic Disorder.)

My friend today was given an increase in her dosage for Mirtazapine yesterday. She took the increased dosage this morning and immediately she thinks it's starting to affect her by making her "dreamy" and she says it feels uncomfortable. I suggested that it may be because she already takes...

I don't know what to put really. I know I'm feeling stressed and I've already had moments of wanting to die. Urges where it felt like I just needed a slight poke to jump, but wouldn't because of a random thought or memory that would keep me in. I know I'm stressed and worried for my friend...
