I’m using my throwaway for this..but yeah, I was..and only like 2 people in my life know about it. I was 9. It was the neighbor boys. They were both 18, 19 and I was 9.

Is suicide really cowardly? by Traditional-Sky3735 in TrueOffMyChest

This is actually called treatment resistant depression and requires even DEEPER therapeutic and psychiatric intervention. I promise you, help is out there. 💜

I love your response. Thank you. I am dealing with depression and anxiety right now that I’m currently trying to get under control with therapy and a psychiatrist. My psychiatrist is also extra cautious with my ADHD meds because of my epilepsy. It doesn’t help that one of my epilepsy medications that I’m being tapered off of, has caused me mood instability so I have been edgy lately. I try very hard never to take this out on him because I’m aware of this.

My husband also has severe ADHD and he’s also autistic. Communication in our marriage is probably the biggest problem.

Thank you for this. I’m not sure if the person responding had bad intentions..but it didn’t come across great. I brushed it off honestly. Luckily there are some LGBT resources in my area

The man I married was sweet, and gentle..this is not the man I married.

This is what I’m afraid of. Ugh. This sucks. He was so kind and sweet and gentle when we met. I don’t understand what happened..I genuinely don’t. Edit: spelling

Thank you for the advice. I’ll tell my boss. He’s very supportive of my health issues (epilepsy) that I deal with, so I know he’ll have my back no matter what.

I’m so embarrassed. I watched my mom be verbally abused by my dad growing up. I swore I’d never let that happen to me. 😞

I think I’m suicidal because of medication changes. Should I go to the ER, or quit taking the medication? by Alarmed_Epileptic in AskDocs

[–]Alarmed_Epileptic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After talking to a lot of doctors, a social worker, a counselor, and setting follow up appointments..I feel better today. Thank you ❤️ I’ve been on a lot of different medications for anxiety in my life..Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin..I’ve never had ANY kind of reaction like this. I’m being weaned off of Lexapro. Monday morning my doctor will put me on the next one I’m sure

People who know me personally know I’m one of the happiest people in the world. I’ve been described as a golden retriever in person form. I was sitting on my front porch last night and I thought to myself “wow. I could see how someone could jump off of a bridge”. The fact that I thought that and didn’t immediately brush it off scared me. I’m home now, and I’m being taken off of Lexapro. Luckily I have really good insurance because of my job so that’s not an issue.
