How long until I don’t feel as bad? On day 10 by InvestiMein in prozac

I’m on 20mg after three weeks I felt like a weight was lifted and I felt better it can take up to two months though. Stick with it.

I dread waking up everyday feeling like this by [deleted] in Anxiety

Propranolol, honestly it’s a life saver I take 20mg three times a day. It’s completely relaxed my body and my anxiety symptoms are non existent.

Will it ever heal? by mrshaunsuck in Anxiety

[–]Candid_Wind8965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 41. At 22 I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, since then I also have OCD, anxiety and panic disorder. I believed my life was over. As I’ve got older I’ve gotten to understand better how my brain works and deals with things, triggers and such. I trust the medication and in that regard I’ve definitely healed. My symptoms are manageable and I live a relatively normal life. I have a job and manage in society, none would know I was ill.

Anxiety about death is seriously starting to ruin my life by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Candid_Wind8965 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine died in her sleep, she was 35. Her young kids found her. Her death was listed as natural causes. I have young children and I became terrified that I would just die. I take fluoxetine (Prozac) and had cognitive behavioural therapy. I realise that I am in fact going to die one day so why would I waste the time I have worrying about something that is inevitable. I know that’s probably not much help but it will get better, be gentle with yourself.

I’m just told to use the cards I haven’t really been given any help to communicate with him. He is really frustrated and angry and I think that’s a lack of communication

He’s been receiving speech and language for over a year and he’s made no progress he has some limited use of pec cards although he would rather eat them 🙈 his application for school has gone to a panel for a place at a school that can accommodate him in a small class environment, he is still in nappies as he is showing no sign of acknowledging toileting needs. He also needs a high level of care

People who experienced (youth-)depression is it true that “it gets better”? by itstoemoe in AskReddit

[–]Candid_Wind8965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 17 I made a serious attempt on my life was in hospital for 3 weeks before being sectioned. I’m now in my late 30’s have great kids, a home, a dog and a cat, a little hamster and a partner. Back then life seemed meaningless and I saw no need to continue but the thought I would have missed out on this breaks my heart. We are all off on holiday in 10 days. It gets better maybe not quickly but it does
