    Feeling like I don't know who I really am

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts everyone! They were extremely helpful and you are all so kind! I think I've been "masking" for so long that I began to question who I really was. I think i've been going through some derealization too due to anxiety and stress and it kind of felt like...

    Feeling like I don't know who I really am

    Thank you for sharing! "Masking" is exactly what it is I think. I've done it so much I think I no longer know the person I truly am underneath. I hope I can begin to deconstruct some of this and maybe begin to find my true self.

    Feeling like I don't know who I really am

    Hi All, Right now I've been kind of struggling with not knowing who I am and feeling kind of lost. I made a previous post about this area but I have struggled with antidepressants for over 20 years now. I often wonder who I would be without them. In addition to this I am struggling to...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I just watched "Black Moon Rising" made in 1986 starring a relatively young Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton. It was pretty good.

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Thank you for sharing, Suzanne! I couldn't tolerate some of the side effects of Prozac. I am glad you were able to come off it!

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Thank you! I take an Extended Release tablet and they say you are not supposed to cut it. They say it's because the way the medication is released. I might try doing that though with an instant release tablet and that's a good idea! I appreciate it :)

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    "North and South". It's a historical drama miniseries made in 1985 about the American Civil War. I really love it. It displays the leadup to the Civil War and the Civil War itself very well. It tells the story through two families "The Hazards" and "The Mains". The Hazards are from Pennsylvania...

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Hi All! It's been a while since I posted so just thought I would give an update and maybe get some feedback. I've still been having issues with antidepressants. I'm currently on a low dose of Paroxetine (Paxil) 25MG extended release and am unable to come off. The medication so far hasn't given...

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Ah ok! That would definitely be more of help then the therapy I've had so far.

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Unfortunately, no. I appreciate you mentioning that :) I think I am definitely going to look into one who specializes with ASD. It would be helpful to see someone who specializes in it. I've mostly just had Christian counselors in the past and a couple regular therapists but they never...

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Thank you all so much for sharing! I would like to reply to each one of you but each response has been extremely helpful! I wish my parents had not of put me on them but at the time I was getting into arguments with my parents and it became a back and forth type thing and that's when they took...

    Issues with Antidepressants

    Thank you for sharing, Rocco! That feels like that's been very similar to my experience as well. I had held out some hope that maybe there was a medication that would maybe have some benefits but I just don't see it right now. I think when I was younger it did seem to help my OCD a bit and...

    Any other Star Trek fans here?

    I guess this is a "bump"? haha. Sort of new still to these terms. I am! I loved it ever since I saw Star Trek: The Next Generation when I was little. I also love "The Original Series" and all the Star Trek movies (The Motion Picture, Wrath Of Khan, The Final Frontier, The Undiscovered Country)...
