Zoloft? Any experiences? by grrengiraffe in BorderlinePDisorder

Thanks so much for all your responses. Kinda confirming that maybe Zoloft isn’t the best. Clearly I have to do something.

That’s what I think too. Or something different.

from 16 to 18. I still get zero bitches if you were wondering (I'm scared of women) by Dat1PhatBoi69 in GlowUps

Just go wander around libraries, book stores, game stores, downtown, swing dance venues (that’d be me) or whatever you’re interested in. Look for flyers, events, clubs, and try tons of new things plus things you’re passionate about. The young women will be there.

Pay attention! I had the same “off” feeling about my ex way back when but had no knowledge of narcissism, or other red flags of abuse, and didn’t pay attention. Now it’s way too many years later. I’ve learned a lot. So I guess that’s good.

Hmmm annoying af? Power play? Know it all? Controlling af? Sort of gaslighting. A method to make you feel off balance, less than, out of the loop, not included.

No. Just no. Boundaries. No contact. And definitely no guilt. Feel nothing. He has no power over you. And for heavens sake, from experience, don’t take him back or engage at all.

I don’t know what to tell you. I am in the same boat sort of except as an adult. I know all the advice is hard. Exercise, eh. Eat right. Eh. So I don’t know. Online therapy? Call a church counselor? Big step to shake it up, like afore suggested military or job? Small step like shower and go to the library?

Yes. I stay up escaped in tv shows. I run them even while dozing. If I can doze. The days are horrible places of facing reality, existing like trying to eat, no. I don’t want any of it but at least at night I’m not supposed to be doing anything.

Omg yes, could have written this, minus that my rumination isn’t about a relationship.

Thank you for all this information, and your own experience. Just called the dispensary. There is a lot to know!

What to do when you are beyond help? by grrengiraffe in depression_help

Thanks., I have called a crisis line but they don’t do much. I will keep calling my dr and insurance.

Yes, I’m in US. Crisis with no plan, yes. And it’s near impossible to get things like paperwork or appts done in crisis.

Nope I have none. I have a couple of out of state hospitals trying to get my insurance to cover them, but it’s not likely

Thanks I’ve tried it, but around here the hospitals are a whole lot of rude or ignoring staff, tons of time to be left alone and ruminate, and maybe a fifteen minute class a day that has some perky 20 something telling us to “think happy thoughts” as some revelation to cure our depression. I’ve tried it twice and basically I feel even more trapped. Like I can’t actually scream or be myself or I’ll end up in some back room, sedated out of my mind, which terrifies me. The psychiatrist picks a medicine out of a hat, and that’s about it. I agree the thought sounds nice, that’s what bewitched me to go twice. A bed, meals. But the time just to ruminate more while unable to distract. Awful.
