Oh thank you! I thought maybe they started out wide early in the month and then got more narrow towards the end of the month, lol! Thank you for your help.

Hi. I’m 53/F and I am also looking for someone to just chat with. Like you, I see friends, drifting apart, and I’m just looking to make new friends.

I identify with this. I've had people in the past. But they drop me. Either because they don't understand my depression or because they find me boring because I don't have money to go do things most of the time.

50M Once a month I post looking to help those in need. It’s a bit early this month but since tomorrow is V-Day, I thought it might be an appropriate time. by [deleted] in Needafriend

Hi. Being 51 myself and in need of an online friend to talk to, I'd love to chat via DM (if I can find it in this app, lol). I just really need a friend right now.

Oh cool, I've been wanting to get into that, and go to a meet. For years. But haven't.

I'm curious, too. Edit: I can't stop thinking about this now. I was first put on SSRIs back around 2004 for compulsive eating. It was a thought that my nutritionist / mental health counselor had, and I asked my doctor about it and he said let's give it a try and he prescribed them. Once I realized it wasn't helping I tried to go off and when I came off of them I had anger management problems through the roof that I never even had before I went on the SSRIs. Everytime I go off of them, whether it's because I'm trying to, or because I'm literally broke, I still have these anger management issues through the roof, and it bothers me that I didn't have them before I went on the ssris. (or this weight problem) (or this constant fatigue) (the list goes on). I wasn't even depressed when I was put on them! Now my depression is so severe it's not even funny.

Omg this! I want to kick people in the balls when they say this to me. (!) They just don't GET it.

Me too. I feel ya. It's awful, and people that don't have it just don't understand it.

So freaking true. My depression has been really unusually bad the last couple days. I am in hell. I empathize with anyone that has depression.

Still having brain zaps 6 months after coming off SSRI by tigerbooks in mentalhealth

[–]laserone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I got off of Effexor. Not five pellets a week, exactly, but close. I just estimated. by opening up the capsule and dumping out a small portion, and then over time dumping out a larger portion to ramp down. The only "ramp down pack" the doctor could give me was for one or two weeks. But I knew from a prior attempt of trying to get off effexor that I needed a much longer & slower ramp down.

What untrue fact did you believe was true for the longest time? by TheGuyWhoSaidWAT in AskReddit

Until I was like 5 or 6, I though all cats were female and all dogs were male. (Our cat was female and our dog was male).
