Depression Understood Forums

Does anyone else become immune to their meds? I'm on my third type and I can feel the nortriptyline is starting to lose it's effectiveness. I had the dosage increased early 2018 and I perked up, but over last couple of months I've just felt "flat". Problem with this is last time I was in a...

I feel your pain. I really do. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I have tried so many medications, therapies, etc... but never feel like I am living a normal, happy life. From the outside looking in, I have a wonderful life, but my brain makes my life look b...

I'm exhausted and burning out, holiday is not an option, I have one coming soon. I feel so angry about everything. I've developed a fear of being rejected for sex by my wife, so much that I don't try anymore. I also get extremely anxious around confrontation. I have been working a bit of overtime la...

Went to docs. Upped my nortriptyline by 25mg. Also put me on vitamin B12 and magnesium. Felt really great until this afternoon. I rung wife to check what they needed for shopping.( Her and kids are away at the beach while I'm stuck working as per usual) She was real blunt and sounded like she didn't...

I'm going to docs next week. I reckon I've become immune to my meds again..... Well I hope that's all it is. Just over being sad, angry, hopeless...

Hello all. Been away for quite a while. Lots happened, another much better job, got married after 20 years together, kids have grown. Life was great until about 2 months ago. Got the blues, been trying to get right, positive thinking etc, hasn't worked. I've spiralled back to where I was 4 years ago...

Thread dredge! It's that time again where my love goes away with the girls and leaves me with me and my thoughts. Last two days were hell but got through it. Just lonely I guess. I feel like a bit of a "softie" and needy but when they aren't here I get extremely agitated, anxious, but why?...

Thread dredge. I have moved on from last job and have been in my new job a couple of weeks. Last week I had a massive feeling of being totally overwhelmed and got all negative. I pushed through it and while being very hard have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to enjoy this and moo...

At 38 yrs i am at a crossroads. My work has got tedious, one workmate has resigned after landing his dream job, another is about to resign, he is going to another employer with more money and less work. The company has its work cut out for it in finding him, they had 2 applicants for his job, other ...

I'm off the citilopram tomorrow, been on half a tab for a fortnight, l been moody, grumpy, and, I've been told, a shithead. I can feel the slipping and descention back into the dark. I have a fortnight of no meds (apart from the lithium) to survive before a go back to the doc. We've had sex twice si...

I too struggle to find the answer, but all I would like is the support of my beloved. I am the sole breadwinner of the household, so she has no input financially. Admittedly we are in a very good position compared to a lot of other people, but still have the odd disagreement regarding money. But a b...

Im not a housewife, but a assistant manager of a large business. I too battle everyday to get out of bed and face the world. I am currently being weaned off my meds to start another type and the last week has been pure hell. I have cried every morning/night and felt like the whole world has taken a ...
