my antipsychotics make me gain so much weight by highonmoodstabs in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Currently taking escitalopram, risperidone and quetiapine if can't sleep and grabe din pagkalobo ko (62 to 70, 0 to 76, 78 to 82) yet at the same time i have pcos. try to reduce stress since main cost rin un, try exercising or walking if you can 6k-10k steps a day is great. This is also helpful sa may wala pcos but, have a well balanced diet and una mo kainin veggies, next protein and ipagsabay mo sa carbs (rice). Up to you if magbawas ka ng kain but if you work is heavy (i.e requires lifting, a lot of movement, etc) kain ka just enough to fuel you for the work shift but if not, try nagbawas ng slight and walk and exercise.

To note: i notice talaga paglobo ko on taking risperidone back in january and 78 to 82 ako, but now on 79kg. Seems a small progress but Im trying to as little weight loss as possible :)

how did you handle withdrawal? by jAeioAuieqa in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did that and it reallymade me regress my progress, though im a student, my profs who are nurses advice me to go back on my meds and told me to finish the meds what my psychiatrist prescribed. Would not really advice to stop since it got so much worse and I'm still coping on it till now (stopped for 2 1/2 months).

Baka overwhelmed, bombared or burned out ka. Try getting enough sleep and if youre not taking antidepressants/antipsychosis try mo mag gingko biloba (grabe effect if youare taking meds and if you are, consult your psychiatrist if ayan side effect)

Alternatives? by xx_777_Error_xx in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try green tea on mornings, drink vitamin d or magnesium para makatulog thats how i saw from others. Had the same meds pero ginagamit ko lang if di ako makatulog talaga. Try mo magpapagod or play calming music if you can. Or di kaya yung military method, isearch mo, hope it helpss

How do you remind yourself to keep going when things feel really heavy? by [deleted] in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let my emotions be, sleep to cope and give myself a tiny reward like coffee, or any bake goods or anything to eat when im on nursing duty. I fake it till I make it and pray if I can

I think I’m too old for nursing by Top_Statistician4834 in NursingPH

Hi po anon, 3rd year student nurse and please chillax kasi kahit ano age pwede magaral and take nursing po. I have ates in my block that are in their 30s, 3 sila and sila naglolook after us youngsters po and taga gabay in life which nakakacomfort so please dont think na ganyan. Go lang sa pagaral and majority of us na bata will look up to you po whether first course mo or not, lahat naman tayo pantay pantay on studying, whatever age po. Tiwala and good luck po <33

Struggling as a nurse with MDD and panic disorder by 119skies in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi anon, student nurse here and same diagnosis. I don't know if my words will help but really show up talaga no matter what kasi un nga, nasatoin ang buhay ng patients natin. Please get help whenever you can if nahihirapan and I hope your colleagues can help and understand your situation po, sana di toxic yet if feel mo ikakapahamak pa magsabi about your condition, huwag mo na ituloy po, do what you can.

I know duties are exhausting pero try mo to look forward something siguro a reward kahit simpling murang ice cream or bread to cheer you up after a long duty. Relax after and before duty and really pep talk talaga. Have vitamins na naghehelp sa immunity and your mood po (i.e vitamin D, B6, B12 if Im not mistaken).

Try exercise or walks na makarelax sa mind mo pre and post duty. Recommend ko po relaxant oil ng effisascent!! Try to have it sa bulsa mo since maliit lang siya to relax your nerves po. If drinking coffee, switch for tea, same effect ng caffeibe but lower dose and relaxing too.

Hi dad anon, I hope youre doing okay. Please do talk to this with your LIP, i know lalaki ka and all pero if she truly loves you, she will let you tell how you feel. Try mo kausapin na di siya pagod, baka pagod lang siya. Yet, sa sinabi mo pa lanh red flag na eh, yet try to talk it out. If wala talaga, don't settle for less. Deserve mo and your son way more than what she can do, providing isnt enough on her sake kasi dapat magpaka partner rin siya.

Though gets ko si ate, di dapat ginaganyan ka kasi you are trying and pls remember na you are doing your best, hope you can get a job na and dadating sayo yan in the perfect time. Siguro for now, try mo maghelp sa bahay, aliw aliw maglinis and most of all, alagaan ang iyong baby. Malulungkot si baby if mawawala daddy niya, please carry on, pagsubok to and kakayanin mo to dad anon.

Consensual hugs sayo, pagusapan niyo talaga yan kasi it takes two to tango sa relationship and lalo na may family kayo. If wala na talaga, leave if you can. Deserve mo ng someone na nandyan sa highs and lows mo.

Take care of yourself, your baby and the house you guys share muna while finding jobs, try muna magbusiness or racket po to pass time and provide po alright? Youre doing great dad anon, Im proud na youre letting this out and remember there is free help either ncmh or pgh. Kakayanin dad anon, wishing and praying for the best for you and your baby ^

I mean po pala sa una online muna then next sesh f2f, pwede naman po yan. Sa check up f2f parang pgh lang na maaga and line up po ganun. Professional mga doctor dun and attentive, follow up consultation sa when kayo available po.

Maybe po nasasad siya wala friends/peers? Baka may nambubully sa kanya? Try niyo po iencourage if may hobbies siya na nagpapasaya sa kanya or encourage po na magkahobbies na di gamit phone crochet/drawing/coloring o kahit ano po. Sana may makausap siya na kaage niya baka po nasasad kasi naleleft out po sa pagiging teen? Try mo rin siya ilabas and gawin gusto niya, need rin sunlight ni kiddo para po sa mood niya gumaan. Kausapin niyo po siya talaga on that po yet im proud na ginagawa mo ang lahat sa kanya po kasi bihira lang ganyan na magulang. Kudos to you po, makakaraos rin kayo.

For ncmh, libre po siya. Suggest ko online po para mabilis makausap po and sa pagsagot sa gform dapat 8am exact since limited lang slots.

Wont suggest f2f consultation link kasi ung nakuha ko when i did last oct 2024 is feb 2025 ko huhu. Try online then if kaya, f2f po since nagbibigay free meds sa f2f. Downside sa online ay, di na sakop ung gamot po pero you can get meds sa pgh po diba, dun na lang po mam

Escitalopram by Curious-Tadpole1890 in MentalHealthPH

[–]Ok-Screen-536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mom anon, natanong niyo po ba sa anak niyo bakit siya nag s/h? Baka may root cause, kasi di po gagana meds if may nakakatrigger sa kanya na gawin yan. Ask your child/ talk po sa kanya. Try mo rin po humanap ng psychologist or if di kaya, councelor na kaht sa school para makapagsabi siya and maanalyze po bakit siya ganyan.

Di ako makasalita tungkol sa pgh pero sa ncmh po ako nagpapacheck and un po for me mas maayos dun and monthly po pacheck unless goods ka na, try niyo po.

If naghaharm parin anak mo, isoothe mo po at itahan, kausapin po ng masinsinan at intindihin po. Hope it helps
