It's Official

Four Walls @FourWalls (68014) • United States 18 May 16

I've suspected this for some time. In fact, they've hinted at it in a few of my medical chart notes. But it's official now. I'm one of the millions who has depression. Even before this became official I've been...

Ade Yes don't ever discount antidepressants! When I was first diagnosed I thought that medications were a pain in the ass - I thought that this couldn't be happening to me. So I tried rebelling and didn't take my meds regularly. Sometimes I'd drink alcohol with...

patgalca @patgalca (18366) • Orangeville, Ontario 21 May 16

It has taken me years to realize and admit that I have anxiety issues. I actually didn't realize what I was experiencing was anxiety. I probably pushed that thought away because it was considered a weakness. I remember my sister...

What is your best kind of church service?

Happy Lady and Freya the Catblog Cat @Jackalyn (7558) • Oxford, England 12 May 16

For me, it is one where people believe in miracles, lift their hand in worship, and I like the praises to ring out. If people dance, the gifts of the spirit are in operation and the preacher is not the only one doing something,...

Ade I feel like the church which I'm attending is perfect! Evangelistic but knowing where to draw the line, a large congregation but yet feeling so family-like, prayerful, genuine (where even leaders are humble enough to share their pasts and admit their...

Being Overmedicated?

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5093) • St. Louis, Missouri 25 Apr 16

I have run into a few psychiatric prescribers (a doctor and a nurse practitioner) in my time who have loved to over medicate their patients. Both were related to a certain large psychiatric practice in my town. I believe they...

Borderline Personality Disorder and Treatment

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5093) • St. Louis, Missouri 19 Apr 16

I'm still dealing with getting the definite diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I first heard those words at age 14, when I was first diagnosed. No one really explained it to me except to throw the giant DSM-IV...

Ade Glad to hear that you're already getting the support that you need from the psychologist and the psychiatrist! Recovery takes time but the fact that you're stepping up to tackle the problem shows that you're one step closer to stepping out of this. Be patient,...

Learning to Drive with Anxiety.

Katelynn Letinich @CrazyAnimaLady (279) • United States 1 May 16

Okay so I will be the first one to admit that I have more than a little anxiety. I'm on medications for it. I do what I can in order to make it through the day. There's even the occasional panic attack or gut feeling that just...
