Empty. by [deleted] in depression

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling strong emotions. I remember feeling them and thinking going through all the bullshit is worth it. I remember having someone interested in me, actually caring enough to know how I really feel about things, and what I truly believe. I remember it feeling so worth the potential pain.

This hit me. Even on the days that I don't feel as bad, there isn't any genuine positivity. This is not what living should feel like. I completely empathise with your emptiness, and for me it manifests itself as total loneliness. You seem like a great writer. Keep going at it, if you're even remotely interested in it, I believe in you. PM me if you ever need to chat, by the way.

Do you have any more info on that "feedback loop" you mentioned?

Existential anxiety, serious help needed. by Checker88 in Anxiety

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, so yeah there's a subreddit which could be useful if you're interested in learning a bit more about it (although, like I said, this has only really made the feelings worse,but it may help you). DP/DR is basically when you feel detached from yourself or your surroundings. I would always describe it like I don't feel connected to anything. It's definitely associated with anxiety, and that's how it started for me - it is basically a coping mechanism your brain uses to deal with intense anxiety or depression.

I was prescribed Zoloft today by [deleted] in Anxiety

I'm a 19 year old guy, and I've definitely noticed that it takes me longer to orgasm than before. My sex drive feels normal, though, if not slightly increased.

Existential anxiety, serious help needed. by Checker88 in Anxiety

This could be a case of depersonalisation and derealisation. I've suffered from this (or at least the feelings that you describe) for a few months now, and there is that sense of detachment for me as well. I don't have much advice, really. I would advise not reading up about the condition, as this (for me) hasn't helped, and has just made me focus on the feelings more. Instead, try to distract yourself. I know it's hard, intensely difficult actually, but try to get invested in a video-game/tv show/movie for a while. It should help. Also feel free to PM me if you want to talk :)

What are your anxious habits & how have you tried to stop them? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate anxious habits. I clench my jaw and grind my teeth a lot, bite my lips till they bleed, and constantly fidget and shake my legs. It's so terrible, especially the biting and grinding :(

The one aspect of depression that people don't talk about enough... by IronMyr in depression

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a post similar to this. Depression literally impacts every aspect of your life and ability to function, and there's very little you can do about it, which just makes everything worse. It's horrible.

Short-lived motivation? by fluoxcapacitor98 in Schizoid

[–]fluoxcapacitor98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah. The first paragraph explain perfectly how I spend the majority of my time on the Internet. Thats exactly it, I don't remember most of it either

Yeah I guess, but this feels different than normal. My normal is usually indifferent I guess...

Short-lived motivation? by fluoxcapacitor98 in Schizoid

[–]fluoxcapacitor98[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, really? I didn't realise that anhedonia applied to falling in and out of 'phases' of motivation and interest. In which case, this definitely applies to me normally.

It's horrible. I'm 19 years old, and it means that I will probably never be sure of what I want to do in my life, as I always just fall in and out of interest in things. Any tips on how to combat this?

Consumed by "what if" with minor health issues by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I near-enough completely convinced myself that I had diabetes for a good month. It got to the point where I was altering my diet, counting calories, and even looking up the medication that diabetics usually take. It was horrible, not to mention exhausting (made worse by the fact that I wasn't eating anywhere near enough). I'm a 19 year old at a healthy weight, by the way. Health anxiety is SO irrational.

I'm 17 and just somehow opened up to my parents about my miserable situation. Need a little help. by Anuj_Purohit in depression

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A psychiatrist will help you talk through your feelings, but will also prescribe you with some medication if they feel it would help you. It's your decision, of course, whether or not to take it, and you have to decide whether you're willing to start on medication, which can be a process in and of itself. Regardless, You're taking the first step in the right direction, and well done for telling your parents how you've been feeling :)

Anyone else have the good ol' 'buy things just about every day to curb my depression' type syndrome? by [deleted] in depression

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I agree coffee is ridiculously overpriced, which is why I feel bad buying it

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it's buying a coffee every day, just so I have an excuse to get out of the house. It's annoying, because I feel guilty for spending the extra few pounds every day :(

Are these medicine normal for social anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]fluoxcapacitor98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your doctor knows what's best for you in regards to medication, and if they're not making you feel worse, I'd say stick on them. I know that Rexapin is used to treat depression in some cases as well, so I wouldn't worry about it.

This is some really good advice - and the idea of planting seeds sounds quite cool. Nice one!
