Anyone have undesirable side effects from the meds that you take for depression or anxiety? How do you cope with them? For me, the side effects are the lesser of two evils, because the meds themselves are working for me.

I take Bupropion (Wellbutrin), and is effective in helping me with my depression, but the side effect that I experience, memory issues, is pronounced and bothersome. My psychiatrist and I tried reducing my dosage, and it lessened the side effect, but it became quite clear that I needed to revert to my normal dosage to address my depression.

At one point we tried a "cocktail" by adding a small dose of Abilify, but that med was disastrous for me, and I needed to curtail it for my own well being (YMMV).

I have a rule, that I never put anything inside my body or on my skin until I understand what that thing is.
I know that everyone swears by sunscreens, but when I research sunscreen components I am feeling like I have to choose between being poisoned and being burnt.
See for yourself:
Avobenzone - relatively safe, but only lasts 30 min; Homosalate - can disrupt estrogen, androgen and progesterone levels; Octisalate - relatively safe, can cause allergies; Octocrylene - degrates to benzophenone

I think I am about to be going through a divorce. My husband and I have been "in the thick of it" for almost a year and the last couple weeks have shown me that things are not getting better. I think I'm at the end of my rope. I was having concerns 3 yrs ago, but really was able to confront issues this year. We've been married for 6 years, together 9, and have a 2 year old. I'm 30 years old. My family isn't super supportive. I'm nervous, scared, worried, all the things.

I’ve had issues since high school, but just formally got diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve always managed to get by okay at work (I’m no super star), but remote meetings have been really difficult for me and I now feel like I’m barely hanging on. Trying meds now, but no benefits yet. Pros and Cons of disclosing the diagnosis to my team, partner, or firm? I’m torn.

Honest discussion about burn out: it is with you for the long run.
I burnt out at my last job and the job before that and now I’m at a really good firm that has no set billable hours and a really manageable workload, but it’s still difficult to get any work done. It will take a long time to fully recover from burn out.

Any good psychiatrist in Houston?

I hope everyone is able to find a moment of calm this weekend 💛

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

Don’t know what to do - advice please.
Thought it was burnout with the kids. Have cut back to 4 days, husband takes kids one day… now I realise I’m still depressed. Is it loneliness? Deep depression (I’m on lithium already)… I mean what is it? And how do I find friends when I’m miserable?

How do you decide when to take a mental health day? I've taken maybe 3 or 4 and they've all been very useful, but sometimes I feel guilty about it. Anyone else with this experience? Or do most others just power through?

I just wanted to thank all you folks that contribute to this bowl. For me personally, its helpful to know that i’m not alone with struggles that we all seem to face. Thanks!

Having an absolute panic attack over nothing. Heart racing, dry mouth, feelings of terror. Sucks to realize there’s no one I can call to talk about this. Just trying to breathe it out

I’ve often heard of people with mental health issues struggling with personal hygiene. Has anyone done the opposite of that? I shower up to 2 hours a day (2-4 showers), and am obsessive with oral hygiene. Kind of like washing away my feelings of guilt....

It’s been 4 months since I stopped seeing the person I was dating and I still miss them in my life a lot. I made so many mistakes and I’m so angry with myself for trusting them. I feel hopeless about my future love life. How long will this go on?

I’ve been feeling like my new project is super draining. I’m constantly working. Learning new things but my client team has some very difficult personalities. How do just not care as much?
