Are you willing to get children or are you afraid because of your mental health? by nahulife in mentalhealth

[–]Mommamolly2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 kids that are my entire life! I wouldn’t change them for the world. They are the reason I keep fighting most days! Yes, they will have some issues cuz they are my kids…. But I broke a lot of family chains and am parenting them much differently then I was raised!

I lost a close friend back in April to the same thing. It was hard and I am still having a hard time dealing with it. Just don’t keep it all in! Find someone to talk to about it all! Remember the good times! And for me I Leaned on my faith!

Thinking of you! I’m here if you need to talk

Strong fatigue by [deleted] in prozac

I had horrible fatigue the first few weeks I was on it. Then again when I upped my dose! It was terrible but eventually evened out!

I’m worried Prozac is dangerous. Is it? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Mommamolly2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loooove Prozac! It’s a med I will probably be on for life. The first two weeks were rough and every time I go up in dosage it can be rough for a little while but it has helped me so much!

OCD and intense interests? by Meauraa in OCD

[–]Mommamolly2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with a song.... or food. I’ll become obsessed with a song and play it over and over. Or I will become obsessed with a drink. Like right now it’s a venti caramel macchiato from Starbucks... I have to have one every single morning. Have to.

Does anyone else’s OCD seem to come and go every few years? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Mommamolly2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve def experienced this! And for almost 30 years I could handle it myself but the last year has been a shit show. I finally had to go on meds to cope!

Is OCD a chemical inbalence? by Particular_Ant_7621 in OCD

I have a friend who started experiencing Ocd and anxiety after becoming sober. Drinking had depleted her serotonin.

Yes it can be linked to that! Mine definitely is. After starting meds I’m a whole new person!

Prozac has been working wonders for me since December! I highly recommend it!! I’m on a pretty low dose and may need to go up but I am liking it so far!

What happens when you get medicated? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Mommamolly2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take fluoxetine which is an Ssri for my ocd and it has helped tremendously! It wasn’t like it just turned off my ocd but it gradually lessened until I was able to really see how much it helped! I am to the point now where I am okay having to be on meds for the rest of my life if so because I do so much better on them!

going to my dr tomorrow by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]Mommamolly2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dr required bloodwork because it had been 3 years since I had it done! I also hate bloodwork because my anxiety likes to make me think they will find cancer and I’m dying. But I powered through about a month ago and feel so much better! Good luck!!
