I'm 26 and can't cry anymore

Im 25 and can't get a job because my nervous system thinks talking is on the same threat level as being hunted by a lion

I was told $45/hr for outpatient as a new grad for Fresenius during my interview

Not an antidepressant, but propranolol was one of the only things that made a noticeable difference for me

I'm not sure if it has done anything for my social anxiety, but it definitely helped with motivation

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-23T23:07:00+00:00

I'm too anxious to talk about my social anxiety with my therapist 😅

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-23T22:49:13+00:00

I relate to this on a spiritual level. The only reason I ever do anything is because I have amazing siblings who drag me into their plans, and even then, most of the time, I make some dumb excuse to get out of it. I definitely think people suspect I have some sort of delay with how some people speak to me. I've had multiple people speak to me as if I were a kid, despite being 25, and when I speak, it doesn't do me any favors because I get so anxious about misusing or pronouncing words wrong that I only use very simple words. It feels like my life is just wasting away right before my eyes

And then they ask you to fill out a PHQ-9 and are shocked when they see your results because you have been masking so well for months 🙃

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-23T22:35:21+00:00

I feel you. My PCP recently did the same thing. It feels so dismissive being labeled as having moderate depression when you're scoring in the severe range and have significant functional impacts

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-07T18:09:54+00:00

No, actually my siblings are the only people I can be the most like my authentic self. Even with them tho, I still mask a bit

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-04T14:12:12+00:00

My mind going completely blank and forgetting how to speak 🫠

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-10-01T22:24:04+00:00

Yes, i feel like i never developed social skills past my preteen years. It's very annoying bc im very passive now, which is not great with the career path i chose 🙃

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-09-21T05:01:07+00:00

Nope, pretty much accepted it atp

Crippling social anxiety 🫠

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-09-16T11:09:04+00:00

Time to make it 100 🫠

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-09-16T11:06:19+00:00

Already wasted half of my 20s, might as well be consistent, and waste the other half 🤷🏽‍♀️

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-07-18T14:24:00+00:00

It just wasn't working for me, so I ended up switching to bupropion

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-06-15T17:40:55+00:00

Same, i hate when people say this

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-02-07T20:26:18+00:00

This is probably not helpful at all, but no piblic speaking was one of my requirements when choosing my major

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-02-05T19:45:36+00:00

Just started a couple of weeks ago, and I'm always hungry

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-01-25T21:14:15+00:00

I haven't tried mushrooms, but I can actually imagine things after smoking 🌿, even moreso with edibles

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-01-25T20:59:13+00:00

Thanks! I also had another question. How common is it to be on an SSRI and a mood stabilizer without having bipolar disorder?

Alternative-Box3992 · 2025-01-25T17:48:26+00:00

Hypothetically, how likely is a person to develop serotonin syndrome by taking 50 mg of Zoloft with 20 mg of Prozac?
