Yes I'm still in therapy, but he's not very helpful. In multiple sessions I've asked how to deal with anxiety and stress and all he discussed was how we had inner thoughts and all that. It wasn't helpful at all. He didn't teach any coping skills at all even though that's what I asked for on...

I used to hallucinate a lot. Everyday even, but the most scary they became would be someone following me or tapping on my window. Before I could just walk away or hide under my covers and listen to music. My hallucinations never affected my music. Eventually I got a psychiatrist who prescribed...

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...

Yes I am in therapy. I'm back on my medication and I'm feeling a little better. I can feel myself slowly declining though. It's what happens at night.

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...

She's got a good handle on DID except for one person who is very violent and so she needs someone around at all times when she goes out just in case he becomes present. I believe it's her schizophrenia and her situation that bothers her the most. She does speak with doctors for both physical...

No it's not. A different, semi-new friend.

That is the point both my friend and I have reached. Her health is chronic and won't improve any time soon. She has DID and Schizophrenia which is hard for her to manage as well as depression that has not been responsive to therapy and medication. She believes that dying would be a blessing...

I think medication has caused my opinion and way of thinking toward suicide to shift permanently. First, with nortriptyline causing me to feel complete apathy, I now can't feel guilt when I think about suicide and leaving people. The guilt used to tear me apart, but ever since I felt the...

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...

Yes. I'm seeing both my therapist and psychiatrist once a week. I mentioned this to my psychiatrist so at least she's aware of my thoughts. Because there were other side effects that weren't so enjoyable and caused distress my psychiatrist said it's up to me if I want to try another medication.

I'm still only about a month's in with this antidepressant so I'm not sure how much longer I need to try it out.

I just don't like how when I do get suicidal thoughts, I feel determined while on medication because I feel that's pretty dangerous.

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...

It turns out I have central apnea and possibly light obstruction as well...? I'm waiting for the consultation, but the way central apnea works makes sense with what I experience at night. It causes people to first hyperventilate, then stop, and eventually breathe again. (according to what I've...

I think you're right.. I grew up only knowing my abusers and such.. I've only recently really started to see the world and I struggle daily to figure out the differences between what I grew up being told and learned versus what the world may actually be like.. And my friend is the one that...

They don't know I go to therapy, not that it matters. I found this therapist and pay out of pocket through a resource that makes it affordable for me.

That's what I'm trying to do. At first I had to completely distance myself to put space and let me figure things out without anyone. Now we are talking again, but not as frequently and I'm making sure to not talk when I'm feeling sad or unable to not let her find out. Sometimes that's more than...

My friend and I became close not through our health. It was only after some time I decided to open up to her about these things. I definitely regret that now because the second I did, she suggested I go to therapy and therapy encouraged me to think of my trauma and stuff that I managed to shut...

I have been focusing more on myself. I haven't thought much of my friend really for quite some time because I shut it all out. I'm only worrying about my relations with her because the therapist mentioned it and encouraged me to try and connect again. I have been working on my own health such...

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...

I can only do so much exercise because of my other physical issues. Even so, I'll walk my dog and it does improve a little bit, but only so much and to an extent. So I'm really hoping I'll be able to find the right mix of meds and exercise and other stuff to help with this..

You're probably right. I went in with an empty stomach, I think, and took Ambien I believe. Or at least that's the pill my primary was suggesting that I take. I didn't know that the side effects would have hit when I was sitting down because I felt fine when I woke up and walked over to the...

I'm really not enjoying this new found anxiety sensations. Although the other is not pleasant either and it does cause stress about going outside.. at least it's familiar to me. This new possible anxiety attack has been on my mind. I can't help but walk around thinking, "What if it happens here...
