Re: withdrawal from antidepressants

I did go back on celexa. I wasn't ready. I plan to taper off much more slowly in about 3 months time. I'm not gonna beat myself up over this though. I'm doing just fine! I just needed a little extra help.

withdrawal from antidepressants

I am having terrible withdrawal symptoms just a few days after stopping celexa. I tapered off as directed and thought I was ready. Its only been a few days and I have spacey feelings and anger outbursts. I feel like my family is taking too much. I don't know how long it will be before I feel normal ...

Re: Hi. I need to express myself.

It really does get better! This program has saved my life! It works and I'm so thankful that I can do things again that I have avoided! Keep it up and reach out for support from us! The family will notice a change in you and it might not be positive at first. My family is very negative and all drama...

i learned to anticipate the worst as a child!

I would do this because I thought if I imagined the worst then I would have some sort of happiness if things didn't turn out badly. I carried this behavior into adulthood. I also did it beca...

this is the hardest session for me

In times of stress I've always turned to sugar and junk food. I always had an excuse not to exercise. I don't have time. Really I don't want to do it in front of people because that would be too embarrassing! My son wants me to bike ride with him but he is so skinnyy and I don't want his hyperactive...

Sometimes I just ignore them or ask myself if I know for a fact that its true. If its not then I just leave it and refocus on my goals for the day. I can't beli...
