I started taking 50mg setraline today but I’m scared of how it will affect me over the next few weeks.

I’ve gotten myself to read some positive posts about it but I’m scared it’s going to make me grumpy, empty, unsociable, worsened anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

I just want some reassurance that this is worth it.

I’m at a key stage in life where I need to find work placement etc and I just have really struggled the past week doing so with repetitive intrusive thoughts, anxiety, etc

Please

Every morning feels sad and depressing, I overthink, and then by the time it’s the afternoon again I’m okay? I don’t want to feel this every morning I hate being stuck in this pattern

I’m a huge overthinker and I keep having repetitive thoughts about my ex and checking his acc I can’t even look at cuz it’s private to see if he’s started following more people…. Aswell as his last online on WhatsApp.

Now I’m feeling sad that he knows all my personal stuff. Childhood trauma etc. all that vulnerability left with him.

It’s hard to see what went wrong in the relationship rn too. But I can’t bring myself to message him. It would hurt more I know. I got triggered by him mentioning smth he got up to with friends recently.

I just hope this passes again. I’m scared of going onto medication for this

I just feel I get in the way of everyone’s lives and it’d be better if I wasn’t in their lives, I feel so sad.

It’s hard being vulnerable with anyone after my ex and when I’m pushed to be vulnerable and tell a friend what’s going on I can’t because I feel so pathetic for feeling this way.

I feel my emotions are just so pathetic, aswell as my mind. It just all feels like an inconvenience to people.

I think I’m avoidant attachment too. So after this post I’m probably going to take a break from talking to anyone at all.

I hope it all clears on its own. These emotions

Everything is bothering me today. Especially my mom and I want to find a solution instantly. I want to blame it on the fact my period is coming soon but what if it’s something worse conjuring?

I feel it maybe the side effects of me becoming attached to someone and that my focus may shift onto them for everything.

I just hope it all passes or fixes

I’m so tired now it’s always attachment, I always have to have/find a favourite person. Like I have to have a fix.

Someone to be excited about, talk to a lot, look up to sometimes etc.

I just want to have normal relationships/friendships. But it’s always the same

I end up relying on them for my main source of happiness. I get sad without them. The attachment really hurts and it ends up in multiple panic attacks.

I try to distance myself from them but it doesn’t really work and hurts us both. Why can’t I just be normal?

I just keep dreaming about him every night no matter what, some sexual, some normal. Luckily I can never really remember the dreams of him but it makes me feel sick to my stomach.

How do I stop panicking about himmm I don’t want to break no contact. But I’m getting really uncomfortable

Maybe this is a stupid question and I could word it better but I’m curious how people without anxiety feel in scary or stressfull situations.

I personally struggle with panic attacks quite frequently and anxiety with lots of psychical symptoms

I’ve fallen in and out of sleep at least 7 times trying to escape the panic I experience when I wake up.

My body feels tingly and numb all over from how bad the panic is. My heart is racing, I feel so nauseous and weak really weak. It’s not like I’m weak from not eating or anything it’s just pure panic.

Why does this happen I hate it. I want to sleep without the consequences of panic in the morning after

It’s so hard not to text him in the mornings, we used to text in the mornings as part of our routine and that’s where I feel the sadness most. The excitement of waking up to text each other is gone:( my heart hurts

Psychical cheat and heart pain when I think about him and him moving on what do I do should I be worried

Please someone dm me I need help on fixing a big issue with my ex.

I got drunk and started acussing him of really bad things because I was feeling hurt

Want to have nice friendly chats, we can talk about anything as long as it doesn’t go political and I love animals, music and horror movies :)

Almost everytime someone’s *what seems like* is trying to help me they suddenly start trying to flirt or ask me where I’m from and how old.

I just wanted a friend I don’t want to go into anything sexual with you or romantical please I’m already hurting

It’s kinda of embarrassing so I’d prefer to dm someone about it please

I’m scared I’m going to die of heartbreak syndrome, my heart and chest feel so heavy and it hurts.

It’s probably mixed with panic too to make it worse but I’m only 19 so maybe that’s not even possible for my age but I’m so scared

Broke up with bf today, I’m an anxious attachment so I obviously can’t handle the change from texting and calling to suddenly only texting every few days.

How often should we text? Should we slow respond more and more or should we have 2-3 normal days of texting whilst we’re processing our emotions and the break up or is it good to just already stop talking?.

The calling and texting was a big part of our routines and I’m quite lonely without him whilst he has friends to hang out with.

Will it hurt more? I don’t want to gain hope again

Also we had a holiday planned and we’re both obviously emotional so am I right in thinking it’s better to not confirm the whole holiday yet till we have processed and setlled down from the whole break up.

It would be a 2 week long holiday but I think he’s planning on us spending less time together. But it will probably hurt more right?

Please someone distract me from cutting, everytime I feel a negative feeling, I have rushes of thoughts through my head of cutting and burning myself and I feel an urge and it’s stressing me out.

I cut my arm a day ago in a cat scratch way because I thought if I did a light one maybe that would stop the urge but it hasn’t please help

I’ve used salt water because that’s personally worked for me in the past but I don’t think it’s working 😭

What is going on? I have sores in the corners of my mouth, I have bad breath too and my tongue is often seeming to be white.

I’m a hygienic person, I wash my face, brush my teeth longer than I should I. Think, use a tongue cleaner, I have braces but I use those little dental floss things to get inbetween the brackets.

Going through a very slow breakup I need someone to talk to please my heart hurts so much (preferably female dw I’m female too)

In short story we are in ldr that has lasted a little over a year, both our first serious relationship
