Hello all, it's exactly as the title says, I feel like I'm doomed to failure. I'm 23 and still not entirely certain what I want to do with my life (I have some ideas I guess but I'm not sure). It feels like no matter what I do I'm destined to become nothing but a burden on my family and society. I have no boyfriend, I've never really been in a relationship. My life is ...

hi,
i think it's vague when people say to exercise to help with depression, at least it's vague when the depression is due to the incident.

i'd want the psychologist to address the issue rather than suggest exercise or other stuff.

that's diversion. it's like ur body lacks proteins and ur suggesting carbs to repair the body.

again. it may help when the cause of depression isn't any incident /trauma. but for me (depression after ...

Do people not understand that emotional pain can be just as bad as physical pain?

I don't have the proper money needed to get the years worth of specialized therapy to even have a fighting chance and people think that just popping prescribed pills are going to help.

I have terrible reactions to the meds but my moods are stabilized. I feel that it just makes it easier for everyone else.

I've lost 6 friends ...

Hi guys,

In the past all I've wanted is to not be alone. But now I'm in a great marriage and life is generally good and all I want is to be alone to sit in my depression. I saw someone and starting working on my crap in college. And life just got in the way once I graduated. I think I've always had some form of low grade depression my whole life and I've ...

Sometimes psychiatrists will prescribe thyroid medications to augment antidepressants in patients who have treatment resistant depression.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with thyroid meds in treating their depression?

And if so, what symptoms of depression they found it helpful for?

My psychiatrist has prescribed me Cytomel (Liothyronine) to go with my antidepressant in hopes of amping up their effect.

I have to wait before starting due to some weird blood tests that came in, ...

Recently, I had a bit of an epiphany, I think. When I was a kid, I looked forward to the future. The future seemed bright, and full of possibility. Then one day, I'm not sure when exactly but sometime during adolescence I guess, I stopped looking forward to the future. The future became something unknown and bleak, and I stopped looking forward to it. As a kid, I looked forward to when I would someday ...

Does anyone else ever get this way, and if so what do you do to break free of this negative spiral? It's like Depression-ception, heh. :| I have depression and anxiety, and then I get more depressed because I feel guilty about having depression and anxiety. I feel guilty because of the way it affects/has affected my parents and the ones I care about. It's better now ...

I have been prescribed zoloft 50mg for depression and anxiety. Anyone else who has been on this? first few days of taking it, I have been waking up a few times in the night, feeling more depersonalised than before. nausea...but on the upside a more stable mood.

Guys hello :) I am new here because I needed someone to share my story with and psychiatrist are something I can't afford right now.
My whole problem begins with a break up , but please don't judge me. I know it is everyday thing and that I have to be stronger, but..


May 2019. I have had a boyfriend for 4 years, he was my best ...

I find life dull and pointless and every day I have to go into my work feels like I’m living a pointless tragedy. I was on the bus this morning as the sun was rising and thought about how nice it would be to go for a walk. But instead I was going into a dark office, where I won’t leave until after the sun goes down again.
My work is not so bad but ...
