Speaking from personal experience, benzos also get less effective at controlling anxiety over time. I was only on for a month and by the end they basically did nothing for me

Is it somewhat rare for anxiety to be basically fully controlled just by SSRIs? I know many people for whom that is not enough. My anxiety originated from OCD so that might have had something to do with why they were so effective for me (20mg escitalopram)

I don't think I'm OCD? At least I've never been diagnosed as that, just Major Depressive/Anxiety disorder.

My anxiety is from PTSD though so it's a very different situation.

Chokes McGee posted:Admitting it and seeking help is a huge step. Good luck in your search. Let us know how it turns out. Honestly I should have done this a long time ago and I'm extremely sad I had to go through a breakup with a girl I'm wild about to get around to it. But she's got her own poo poo to sort out and she's already thought it over long enough that there's no changing her mind without me feeling I'm forcing her into something she doesn't want to do - which is the last thing I want. I'm horribly broken right now but I guess that will pass in the next weeks or months. Hopefully somewhere down the road I'm gonna get over my anxiety and fear of rejection enough that I'll be the one to start a romance.

I went through it in July. Starting therapy, getting on meds, and actually admitting to myself and to others that I have mental health problems and that I needed help was a good step forward. I'm still early in the process but things are already a bit better.

powerful lizard posted:why can I only feel alive after too long awake with at least some level of mania-like thing setting in anhedria(so) is a thing with depression. I know when Im on a downswing I go pretty numb, and then when Im on an upswing wheeee I can feel again!! which of course isnt 100% accurate but rather based on point of reference talk to a pdoc about it, I AM JUST SOME JERK ON THE INTERNET but if youre concerned about mania you should check about bipolar. its a big deal to let that rampage around unchecked, its one of the things that unequivocally can be stated as a result of your brain chemistry malfunctioning on a related note I learned a few weeks ago that constant manic spells actually cause permanent chemical changes in the brain over a lifetime and Im glad I have bp2 now

i switched a while ago from zoloft to effexor for anxiety and i'm not really sure about how i feel on it the physiological symptoms of anxiety are gone except for my most stressful or hormonal moments, which is excellent, but i've been feeling so unmotivated and unfocused lately which isn't great for my phd i don't think i have comorbid depression and it's more that i've been using my anxiety and fear as a crutch for my motivation so i'm not sure what to do without it but

I was only on for a month and by the end they basically did nothing for me Yeah it never really helped with anxiety, just let me sleep after I took enough to down an elephant. But I'm down to almost nothing now and it hasn't made anything worse.

I still feel down about my ex breaking up with me because I feel like if I wasn't such a gently caress-up, I'd still be in the relationship. I miss being able to be close to him.

Feels fundamentally wrong that I called out an IK for repeatedly mocking my eating disorder and they probated me within 30 minutes for an innocuous post. I already hated them and that didnt make it any better. Who likes anger issues?

I went to play magic. Social interaction with people who aren't my partner or my best friend is hard to judge but I think o had a good time. I'm going back next week for sure to trade some stuff Also I wore my old boymode jacket because I'm not out to all of those people, who Ive known for years, and I hated it so much. I hated how it felt I hated how it looked, everything about it, everything it represented Which sucked but it's just another reminder that I'm not just hallucinating this whole Doing A Gender thing and that I should stop fighting it

Meeting new people can be good for you.

SunAndSpring posted:goons are so loving stupid sometimes. Absolutely, and we do not really have full time mods so it just goes unchecked. Breakups are the hardest thing in the world, your feelings right now are justified, and if CSPAM and the internet and news stir it up then try stepping away from them so you're not so invested in how some idiot treats you.

Oh that's nonsense I mean it's totally valid and life-affirming for me to go from mildly glum to bawling my eyes out in despair and back again in the space of about 45 minutes and even if it doesn't happen again today it totally won't poo poo up the rest of my day- combined with severe aches, pains and fatigue from probable lyme I'm really set up with a skillset to succeed with my daily goal now of feel like I'm drowning in all the poo poo I can't manage success

It's a real YMMV sort of thing, but I wish doctors/prescribers were a little more clear on what to truly expect from a medication. I guess I've never had anyone explain to me what the best to hope for, signs that it's not working, and signs that the dose is too high. I always end up having to google those later on. Like the best advice I've ever gotten about if my ADHD medication dosage was high enough was monitoring my caffeine intake. If I'm drinking more coffee than usual to stay focused, chances are the dose is too low. I can't remember to look for the small things, but I can generally notice a trend of drinking more coffee during the day and in the evenings.

SunAndSpring posted:Will anti-depressants make me able to feel actual joy again? I feel so empty when doing most things these day. It may! So I'm feeling exhausted, and burned out, and awful, and sad today, and it's only Tuesday, and I haven't been sleeping well, and I started to panic, because I can't deal with being this tired again. But to my relief, I think I just have a cold.
