Tried without meds couple days
Actually felt good to be sober me again
Less anxiety also in public
I feel like the ability to mask without being too self aware of ur "damaged" self is harder to maintain when medicated
Cause its like im baring myself out there
When sober i find it easier to hide
But obv my impulsivity goes straight up again, ability to control and categorize emotions etc is also hellz difficult, memory loss etc
Double edged sword
I can feel the decline once again.
It sounds dramatic but I need to get something creatively out, I just don't know what. It feels like I have to vomit
I'm so stupid s*** was going very well for me and then I did something stupid that made me have a panic attack and now I've been on the verge of another one these past 2 weeks anxiety has taken over
I don't feel hopeless today
That s*** flipped all the way around, I need to get a psychiatrist.
God damn
Does anyone else with depression also experience symptoms of IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome)? There seems to be a connection between gut microbiota and mental health
Ever since I quit Lexapro about 2 months ago I've been feeling the worst depression of my life, along with many devastating side effects and I was totally ok before that.
I'm gonna see a gastroenterologist soon and test for gut bacteria.
in the last few hours i've had a seizure, pissed the bed, and ended up in A&E with a dislocated shoulder.
this s*** escalated so fast man i was watching a soccer game and boom next thing you know i'm lying in bed with insane pain i had to pop 3 oxys to deal with it now i'm hospital getting my bloods done
last night i had some issues again, although i did manage to sleep eventually in the night, albeit not for very long. I think I did sleep somewhat in the night but had sleep misperception basically. Going to probably try melatonin + white noise tonight, I'm trying not to let one bad night get me down since I was prior making really good progress and want to continue further down that route.
Been doing mildly better in more general terms - I've been able to sleep enough at least that my appetite isn't bothered (which is definitely the real big thing if anything) and I'm not extraneously fatigued during the day, but in a more general sense I'm still having a lot of trouble sleeping day to day; night time just feels like a huge burden every time it rolls around.
Been practicing sleep hygiene as much as possible but don't feel it's helping a ton. Got better for awhile for awhile but past 2-3 days feel like I've relapsed a bit with sleep problems; basically several hours to fall asleep and then only sleeping like 3-4 hours waking up at like hour intervals. Haven't had a ton of luck with melatonin or CBD so I think I probably need to go on break from them for awhile longer before returning to them unfortunately. Still got 2 weeks until I can see my psychiatrist as well

exercise and caffeine helps me mostly
but yeah when I get acid reflux last year , i was pretty depressed and that led me to getting like ibs type issues(SIBO maybe).
I ended up drinking more caffeine and started working out and now im doing decent for now
feeling like my “this is all meaningless” to suicidal thoughts are stopping me from being consistent in doing literally anything in my life but idk
I haven't been in this thread for a while. I feel like I've been suppressing my emotions for the sake of everyone around me, man.
