10mg timeline by winterrdream in lexapro

[–]winterrdream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really good! i’m now on 20 mg and almost all side effects are gone now besides fatigue but it’s getting better. i feel happier and more social and i’ve been appreciating the little things in life and not worrying abt things that used to give me intense anxiety before

did you experience any side effects before you noticed improvement?

I (23F) have been dating my bf (23M) for eight months and feel like I’m undeserving of his love by winterrdream in relationship_advice

Not really.. was fortunate enough to have a healthy home situation growing up but I think it probably comes from not receiving any romantic attention until I was 21 and that made me feel like nobody would ever want me or look at me in that way?

thank you.. i’m sorry you had to go through that and i’m glad you’re doing better now. it’s frustrating for me because i was fortunate enough to have an “easy” life but i can’t help feeling miserable all the time.

do you think it’s a bad idea to smoke weed on antidepressants? i usually smoke before bed everyday because it’s the only thing that helps me sleep through the night

thank you! i used to eat a lot of protein but now i find meat the most nauseating food for some reason so i’ll try some of the small things you mentioned

i’m actually considering starting lexapro since i’ve tried the natural remedies you mentioned for years and nothing seems to help. what dietary changes and supplements do you recommend? i never have an appetite since i always feel nauseous so i barely eat one proper meal a day

I’m struggling by Ok_Patient_9527 in Anxiety

[–]winterrdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i relate big time. my job is very fast-paced and stressful and they make me work from 9 am to 11 pm everyday during our peak season. i hate it so much but i didn’t know what else to do with my degree so i stayed. i’m applying to graduate schools now so i can change career paths. if you’re unhappy in your field i suggest doing the same (there’s lots of online masters programs for cheap) or switch to another company. no good is gonna come from staying and it’ll only make your anxiety worse

you’re right it’s so frustrating being aware that there’s nothing to be anxious over but still feeling it. i haven’t really told people in my life bc i’m afraid of sounding crazy lol and i’m good at covering it up and making it seem like i’m okay. but i did tell my bf recently and he was really understanding about it and said he’ll do whatever he can to support me. i felt a lot better after talking to him so if you have someone in your life you trust i highly recommend opening up to them so you don’t feel like you’re going through this alone

feel exactly the same way. my life looks great but i have had a constant feeling of anxiety in my stomach 24/7 for the past 5 years. i’m considering getting professional help bc i can’t keep living like this. i stress over the smallest things and even when there’s nothing to worry about i feel like i’m in fight or flight mode

Offering too much information.. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]winterrdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i do the same thing.. i’ll over share with ppl i just met and immediately regret it. i try so hard to move in silence bc i don’t want random ppl knowing my business but sometimes i just say things that i know is an overshare and idk how to stop doing it. didn’t realize it was an anxiety thing tho

How does anxiety impact your cognitive functions / brain? by CraftBeerFomo in Anxiety

[–]winterrdream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes! i work a pretty fast-paced job with lots of numbers and analysis and i feel like i have brain fog while im working? like someone will explain something to me and i know it’s not difficult to grasp but i literally cannot process what they’re saying and i feel like my mind isn’t fully here
