A week ago i was having baf breathing like through straw and couldnt move around. Been feeling very weak. Then a gland got so sore in my neck 3 days ago now a fever and flat out. To say im scared is an under statement. I don't want to scare anyone here. I know i would be scared if i read this. My blood sats drop real fast when i put a monitor on . Im scared for my baby and partner we live in a small flat nowhere to isolate

It is with sadness that I advise that I will be leaving this forum for good. It is obvious that I've lost everyone here. Noone replies anymore either on the forum or in private message, and if they do reply on the forum it is with hostility. This has had a detrimental effect on my mental health. Thank you all for your support over the years. I wish you all well. @Kat@Sea could you please delete my account. Thank you.

Hi Andrew, welcome. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling right now. I’m afraid I don’t have any current meds advice. We’re here for you if you need to reach out.

Wishing you well, Andrew. Loss during this shitstorm can be so difficult.
My experience of ssri meds is not good. I have tried many and found side effects not nice . Numbing but with tears trapped inside also. Some anti anxiety meds can get you through a day but not to be uses often as addictive and not good long term. And coming off meds is horrific in my experience. This is just my honest review of my own experience. My advice is the pain is real and can be a time to explore yourself and ground yourself in simple things you over look when going along normally. I too wish your pain is short lived my friend. Allow your pain to come out

If your situation is new and there are still other options than meds you can try a mix of therapy, sports and St. John's wort. It's a natural antidepressant. See how that works before you risk all that comes with proper drugs.
Meds for depression and anxiety are more like a journey than a destination. You have to find what works for you with side effects that you can manage and be continually evaluating and monitoring. Sometimes though, the journey is more important than the destination anyways.

This is exactly the right place! Hang in there, Scidoo! This shitty situation will pass! Is there anything you can do to use the time you‘ve won, even if it’s involuntarily? Could you try and help others or try art? Anything that will give you purpose and keep you sane.

Sending you (((hugs))). Are you allowed to leave your house for a walk?
Keep this at the forefront of your mind if you can, this situation will not last forever. Things will have changed it’s true, but we will get back to doing things that are normal for us and that give us pleasure.

Is anyone willing to share what, if anything, they take? Does it work/help?
I'm
having a very hard time with the end of my relationship, which took
place right as isolation started. I'm trying to dig out of the hole I'm
in.
I'm going to see a therapist, but I'm leery of meds.
I appreciate any input/advice anyone gives.
Thanks.

Hi, Andrew.
The only antidepressant I have had any success with is an old school original, imipramine, first developed in the 1950s. Very few side effects. Long term, the usual potential kidney/liver problems. Your doctor may look at you like you're crazy if you bring it up because almost nobody prescribes it anymore (no profits in generics), but it's still around. My mom still takes it. I only stopped because after many years of struggles, I finally received a proper diagnosis and a mood stabilizer, not an anti-depressant, is what I need.
Anyhoo, look up imipramine and talk to your doctor about whether it's a good match for you. Don't be surprised if he/she tries to push something else. I hope you have a better doctor than this, but some do have their biases towards one pill or another and disregard their patient's presentation.
Also, for anxiety, I do take xanax generic as needed. I'm super responsible with it and use it as a last resort when other things don't work, like yoga, walks, meditation, etc. It's usually at night when I'm trying to sleep and can't, because it knocks me into a coma for a good 10 hours or more. I don't know how people party on that drug. It just makes sleep. If you go that route, expect to be monitored by your doctor and pharmacy. They have really tightened the controls since the opioid story broke.
Good luck finding something that helps. I'm sorry for your pain.

Hey Andrew Welcome:
I have been on Zoloft ( generic ) for almost 20 years , first anti depressant that I started and it worked ( I know this is typical not the case so don't give up if you have to try out a few as well )
Anti Anxiety - Have taken Clonozopam (sp) 1mg X3 per day for 10 years and that has also helped.
Therapy - 7 or 8 years very helpful , just need to find the right person.
For a long time in my late teens , early 20's I was against taking medication but it got to a point I realized that what was the point of letting myself feel this bad and not give it a try and for me helped greatly.
I know some are against meds and I think it really is a personal choice for you. Of course not just meds will help but really getting everything you can to make yourself feel better. It will not be easy or happen overnight but you will get there. We are here for you.
