    Suicidal Family Member

    I have a family member who has had a really rough life, and now they're getting older and a bunch of chronic pain is setting in, in addition to the rough times theyve had. Lately they've been saying some really alarming things like "Im done with this world" and "Im ready for this life to be...

    Worse ptsd because trans bf is transitioning

    My bf (a trans man) and I have been together over 2 years. I always knew about and supported his decision to transition one day. Well, that day is here! Technically, that day was here three months ago when he got his first testosterone injection. The problem is I was, hhh, *hurt* by a guy, when...

    How important is it to take meds at same time ever day? (citalopram)

    I take citalopram, usually right before bed. I was taking it between 12:30am and 1:00am usually, but now I take it anywhere between 12:00am to 4:00am (I've been catching up on lost sleep now that college finals are over and it's thrown off my sleep schedule a bit). Citalopram should be taken...

    Childhood Was it abuse or just bad parenting?

    Sssssooooooo this is kinda an awkward thing! When I was middle school age (less than 12 for sure, but probably older than 9) I slept in my own bed, but in my moms room. That's not the awkward part. My parents were divorced but trying to get back together at the time. Cue awkward part! I am...

    Ssri - makes me really sensitive, and also bad socially?? advice welcome

    I got on citalopram, an SSRI, about a month ago. Since then I've noticed some good results pretty soon--less anxiety, less hopelessness, no more feeling suicidal and a lot less agoraphobic. But the bad things: I feel very sensitive! Emotionally, tiny things can make me very upset, small things...

    Sufferer Hello, all. csa survivor among other things

    Hi. I'm here looking for more people who I can relate with. Mostly my PTSD stems from going through cocsa when I was young, but also from having a horrible father who hurt my mother so badly that she couldn't be a very motherly person. I have a lot of anxiety (especially when talking to others...
