Kobojunkie: For the best experience: ➜ You need a good doctor(don't be afraid to find a new one if you meet an arsehole. ➜ You also need to be willing to do extensive research on your mental illness and medications for yourself, so you have full insight into decisions that are being made as far as your treatment. ➜ You also need to keep a daily journal so you can monitor your own progress, know what medications are working, when, and at what dosage you noticed the best effects ➜ You also should keep track of goals you are working on at any given time and track progress so you can discuss with your doctor if there is help to be had from tweaking your meds ➜ Consider eating better. I would recommend increasing your daily protein, fruit, and vegetable intake while cutting back a bit on the carbs. ➜ Another thing is to keep a sleep journal and also exercise at least 3 days a week to help build better stress management
While I was on my meds, I commuted on a bicycle, and that helped me a great deal in the area of exercise and stress management. I was never a runner or a gymer, but biking was a great way for me to relieve stress in the morning and after work. It helped a whole lot. 🥱🥱 Thanks bro, dis ur contributions will really help |

Kobojunkie: . Basically, the best decision I made was to get myself on medication when I did. I did not experience many of the side effects I had been afraid of. And the few that I did, I was able to manage using other medications provided to me by my psychiatrist. She did a very good job helping me manage my medications and my dosage — I had to switch out medication now and then for alternatives too. Overall, those were the best days I ever had in my entire life up until that point in time. (I should add that I had struggled with major depression, adhd, and anxiety along with a neurological disorder since childhood, but I feared, and ignorance kept me from getting treatment for any of it until well into my adult years.)🥱🥱
Don't let fear keep you from living the best life that is possible to you. 🥱🥱 Wow, u have booster my moral I have to act fast Thanks so much for your contributions. |

[/quote]Those were the first best days of my life and it lasted approximately 5 years too. But because I waited so long to get on medical treatment for my conditions, the medications could not prevent what eventually happened. My doctors told me of it but I thought that since the medications were able to help me some in my daily life, maybe they will oe resolve the crash to come. But, no!
Anyways, after having to go through the eventual crash -- I lost my mind -- for what seemed approximately 8 years, I am partly back to the best version of me that I ever had. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose to have gone one medications back in my teens than when I did. But I learned from my experience is that it is essential to learn as much as one can of ones conditions to better make decisions for oneself. undecided
Pls can u make dis clearer.. I really want to learn from ur experience. Thanks Sir |

Kobojunkie: And you did this because you believe you are better off handling your mental illness without medication?  I'm scared of the side effects |

Kobojunkie: DId you have low libido while on the drug, or was it just the possibility of that side effect that scared you off taking the medication? Did you at least try any of the other options?  I did not even use the drug not to talk of low libido I did not try anty other medication |

Elock1: 1.zoloft 2. Not bad so far, experience some side effects tho 3.still on it (roughly a month) 4.i will likely quit soon I also bought Zoloft sometimes Last yr although not on proscription but by my personal findings but I didn't use it after reading some of its side effects especially erectile dysfunction. I had to discard it |

Elock1: 1.you can't overcome it just like that. 2.im about a month+ with the dose so it's gradual 3. First 2 weeks was rugged via the effects (Sleepiness, headache and random pimples on my face) But I've adjusted .. I still have the pimples but it's less now 4. I have times I wake up so happy. U know that today is gonna be good (which I couldn't boast of b4) But some days can be so gloomy especially the first week. For now it's just that small small happiness. Although I am not socializing per say but I'm just happy in my soul (and I don't overthink how I look when going out) the wins are small for now but a win is a win...also consider it's just barely a month
Yeah and I'm exercising daily too to help my mood 20 push up and 10 sit up can help then fruits too Ohh... Thanks so much |

VeryBoi: I've always dreaded social gatherings, even as a kid. I remember skipping my primary school's end-of-year party, and that was just the beginning. Throughout secondary school, I struggled to do simple tasks, like participating in class or making friends. My mind was always racing, and my body would shake noticeably when I was nervous. This took a toll on my self-esteem.
Despite being a bookworm and exceling academically, I was always quiet and reserved. My teachers recognized my potential, but my classmates thought I was deaf and dumb because of my silence. I recall a humiliating experience where I was asked to draw a skeleton on the board. My fear of being mocked and embarrassed was overwhelming, and, sure enough, my legs shook, and the class laughed at me.
I confided in my dad, but he didn't take my concerns seriously and blamed me instead. Feeling defeated, I passed on the opportunity to attend university and instead worked as a sales boy. However, the constant mockery and ridicule I faced due to my social anxiety made it impossible for me to continue.
Now, at 25 (almost 26!), I feel hopeless and tired. I've tried exercises to manage my anxiety, but nothing seems to work. My legs still shake when I'm standing, and people laugh at me. I'm desperate for help and guidance. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you overcome it?
Please share your stories, advice, and support. Good morning, have u gotten any solutions to the problem... I need help also |

Elock1: Its Social anxiety disorder (not a diagnose) From what I've gathered it could be trauma response, genetic, upbringing or even acquired as we grow older
I'm going through this as well and trust me its he.ll If you don't go through this you may never understand. My neighbors don't get me, they think I'm proud, snobbish, aloof etc some Even think I'm crazy ...my self confidence is now minus 500 Once upon a time I kinda built my confidence but somehow I've graduated to avoidance personality Ever since I started noticing shakiness,heart palpitations and stammering in social situations
I'm in my house 24/7 no job since March and people think I'm lazy or complain when I try to tell them so I box it all up Even a family doctor scolded me saying I should "snap" out of it , like it's that easy for me,😩 No respect, no joy , loosing opportunities daily I'm planning on seeing a psychiatrist soon People really don't get it
It's really cr.azy Good day sir, I've you seen the doctor, hw far with the treatment... I'm battling with the same issue now |
