Re: Mental Health Thread

If the medication was only just started that day, then yeah there's a high possibility it was caused by that.

Have you had any dreams this brutal since that day?

Re: Mental Health Thread

yo, I actually kinda understand what you're experiencing
I've been having the most vivid dreams since I've started taking cymbalta. some are good, some are bad. have you tried lucid dreaming? it takes a bit to learn how to do it, but I've been able to work around my nightmares by just taking control of them and steering them in a different direction.

Re: Mental Health Thread

Yes I am still having nightmares,. I've been staying up longer to reduce sleeping time because of this but I have been falling asleep in school which has been a huge downside.. I have had more nightmares in school than at home though so I am trying to fix my schedule again. Someone saw me jolt awake from a nightmare and asked if I was okay which embarrassed the fuck out of me. This all just sucks..

I've only dreamed lucidly once and it was when I was very young.

Re: Mental Health Thread

I have little to no mental health issues, except I get bouts of depression that last about 2 hours at the most and come on randomly. I actually had one today and got super sad and just sat on the beach for an hour doing nothing. It weird that I have very little issues, because I had a VERY rough childhood. I found my father dead on our front lawn when I was 6. Lost my grandma 4 days before my 9th birthday, lost 3 brothers and sisters over my life, my mom was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Lung Cancer, and just a few months ago I cut my only sister left out of my life. All of this while growing up gay, and hiding it until I was 19 years old, and when I told my family 90% of them disowned me for months. Ive learned to overcome these things, especially after losing my father at such a young age. I've found ways to cope with things, and some people think I am insensitive because I don't let feelings stick with me for that long. When the truth is, I realize that being negative about something you honestly can not control, is going to be more detrimental to your mental health, then letting that thing go, and moving on. Yeah, I still get sad on the anniversary of my father's death, but in the end, whats done is done.

Re: Mental Health Thread

You're definitely a strong person. Some people seriously struggle with just dropping things that are out of their control. I'm one of those people.

Re: Mental Health Thread

I have Impulsive ADD and minor Depression/PTSD (symptoms for ptsd, controlled though). Was abused for 4 years and got kicked out of my school and sent to a spec ed one 3 years ago. It sucks. The teachers can restrain and lock you in padded rooms, and that definitely doesnt help my impulses and shit. Im under control now these days, mostly depression and minor self harm issues now.

Sucks to hear that, but at least I'm not the only one.

Do you ever get mad from trivial things, such as waking up?
