Just started taking a 5-htp supplement last weekend. After 15 years on Paxil (ssri) and 3 years paxil free I was still feeling down and anxious. I theorized that my serotonin production was...

...affected long term by the ssri and I needed to reach my brain how to generate more. I googled and learned about this supplement. It hasn’t even been a week and I’m already feeling better. May be a placebo effect, but I’m optimistic and wanted to share in case this could help you too!

If you're very early on in your pregnancy (like 4-6 weeks), and you're going to the dentist and eye doctor for a regular cleaning/check up appointment, when they ask if you have any recent health changes, do you let them know you are expecting but are very early along ? Or do you just not say anything re: pregnancy ?

I’ve been in a pretty dark place for the past week or so. The structure of my day-to-day helps me to compartmentalize and prioritize my tasks over dwelling on my thoughts, but it’s still really hard to give a shit about anything that I’m doing. Anyone have any tips in navigating this?

(For background: I’m diagnosed bipolar and medicated, and have been in touch w my therapist about this already. Just curious to see if anyone else is relating at the moment so I feel less alone, and to see if anyone has any coping mechanisms I might not have tried yet)

Thx 🐠🐟🐡😘

Anyone leave a decent job because they couldn’t deal with living in the city it’s in? My depression is starting to consume me but I’m only 4 months in...

We’re rapidly losing staff and my stress level is the highest it’s been in a while. It’s triggering severe depressive and anxiety symptoms - can’t sleep, racing thoughts, extremely irritable, reclusive and don’t want to be around people, feeling hopeless. I feel like I’m going crazy, even with my meds that have worked quite well up until now. I want to say something to my boss, but I’m not even sure how to problem solve. This situation isn’t compatible with the way my brain is wired.

Advertising isn’t the only field that experiences this type of situation.

Keep the journey in mind and allow the person the luxury of listening, you might learn something.
