Hi all. New to this sub but I’m at a loss. I am extremely depressed and have been for months. I’m now 20, but I have been struggling with depression since I was 14. I am feeling entirely hopeless and going down a very bad path. I can’t see past today. So let me know, what little things are your favorite about being alive? Like a good sneeze, a specific temperature outside, a cozy sweater. I don’t care. Just let me know what keeps you happy.

Hello, I am 20 female, 138lb, 5,5”. I have a routinely low blood pressure reading that every doctor/hospital notes but never freaks out about. I have very severe dizziness (not vertigo dizziness, it’s moreso things like stretch, standing, walking etc make me feel like I’m “lagging”, like my eyes are seeing it a second later than I am. Maybe this is unrelated but I have also developed a persistent twitch in my eyes that will not go away after months and I’m worried I have something brain-related going on.

My doctor suggested it’s an “orthostatic” issue but did not really attempt any diagnosis or further investigations. But I have persistent brain fog as well.

I used to take Zoloft + amitryptyline. I’m currently off medications but it’s almost as though my symptoms are worse. I have been extremely depressed and these symptoms are preventing me from getting out of bed and doing absolutely anything to help. Today it is so bad I have not been able to get out of bed since I’ve woken up. My heart rate was measured from laying to standing up and not anything too abnormal but a slight increase. I have also had an ekg so my heart is ok. Doctor just recommended salt and nothing else. It feels impossible to live my life without this dizziness. Please let me know if anyone has any idea what could be causing this or if it really is just all low blood pressure- salt doesn’t always help.

I’m currently taking Zoloft for my ocd/depression and it isn’t helping me at all. I’m switching to Luvox (I am also on amitryptyline). I didn’t have any nausea with Prozac, lexapro, or Zoloft but I’m scared that Luvox will make me throw up. I have emetophobia so I’m extremely nervous about this. What are your Luvox experiences? Starting at 50mg.

Hey guys, chronic reflux/GERD/IBS warrior here. I have been in a flare for the past few weeks due to Zoloft, and it’s been so bad that I’ve regurgitated acid multiple times in my mouth. I’m a house cleaner, so my job requires lots of bending over which triggers me lots. I guess I’m just wondering if you guys have any tips of dealing with reflux at work or just in general. I’m nervous to go off of Zoloft because of my mental health but I’m so miserable from my reflux and im in pain for hours. Let me know your thoughts/similar experiences/tips. thanks strangers 💜
