  • What are your experiences with anti-depressants? Is it worth it?

    I was suggested Anti-depressants, and to be honest, they scare me. I love to write music and stories, play my guitar and ukulele. And I always had this fear that if I took them, my creativity or motivation will diminish. I heard some people say that it makes them feel sluggish, but I'm not sure if that pertains to all the different kinds. 

    I'm not suicidal, I just have bad depression episodes where everything seems hopeless. Is it worth it? Any body have any experiences with it?

  • What area of Behavioral Health best deals with childhood trauma? ?

    I recently became aware of a very destructive pattern in my life. It has lead to many years of turmoil and sadness. I now as an adult see that childhood of abuse lead to me hating myself, having no self-esteem, de-valuing myself and always settling. I ready to tackle this head on. I don't think a run of the mill family therapist would suffice. Would it be best to seek a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist?

  • Why are people acting so strange?

    OK, so here is the story: am a 40 year old man. I just woke up this morning in th park. As usual, I then for a run naked through the downtown LA area, before arriving at the local arcade to try to force the manager have a joint with me in front of the kids in the ball pit. The manager said no, so I just stuffed it in his mouth anyway, and now he is talking into this black thing on his ear, asking it to send someone. I then left the manager's office, and saw all these parents taking their kids out of the arcade, looking at me. A few minutes later, I heard these cars come up, and then some people wearing black uniforms with badges came out, and told me to get in. I don't like being told what to do, so I bolted out the emergency door at the back, and ran to the nearest McDonald's Playplace and began to scale the side of the building. Again, the parents began to take their kids away while covering their eyes. I made it to the top of the building, and began shouting to the kids to watch me fly away from these pepole. I then jumped off, and somehow, I did not fly. Right before I gracefully landed, I looked down and noticed I was levitating. A few seconds later, I found myself going straight up into this disk shaped spaceship. So, basically, what I am trying to ask is, do you want me to have your baby?

  • Over the past few months I’ve noticed a bit of change in my memory or is just anxiety ?

    Hi I’m 31 years old and recently I have found it difficult not to so much remember things that have happened but not really knowing how long ago, for example if there was a show that I watched 4/5 weeks ago and I tried off the top of my head to remember how long ago it was on tv I would find it difficult to remember it quickly, I do suffer from some intrusive thoughts and brain fog, My mood is also not great either as if my intrusive thoughts are telling me I can’t be happy, I cry at nights sometimes because I’m scared that I’m losing my memory, mind or fear of talking to someone

  • Do Westerners do any of these things?

    I am not a Westerner, I am a Slav from Southeast Europe and here people don’t look like your typical Western white person. Yes, we are white, but we have a different appearance.

    So, do western people ever have a bad day, cry, have ups and downs in life, are sad, lose friends, are hated, etc.? Do they face any hardships?

  • Ever since I got agoraphobia I lost everything. What to do?

    Last year when covid started I got agoraphobia and no job I'm 24 female. I lost my cat of 18 years, barely have anything to eat, my sister left home she reported me to police, my dad did the same reported me to police for a heated argument, my parents divorced. I lost all my friends. I have an abusive boyfriend for 3 years which I dont love and neither does him, im jealous of ppl in stable relationship. I'm broke. And I'm always alone 24 7. Because who would want to support an agoraphobic person right? No one cares about me so might aswell commit suicide. Everything shattered I'm dead already

  • My father has been getting investigated by police for a while now due to my mental health, section 136, messages I’ve sent?

    & his abuse towards me & other members of my family. I was put on a section 136 the other night, got sent home with no support despite this which will be extremely triggering & hard on my whole family. I will become very unsafe & unwell during this process. What am I meant to do? I won’t be getting any support from mental health services during this time other than my usual once a week appointment with a care co ordinator.
