| I've been addicted to nyquil lmfao its pretty bad. When I couldn't fall asleep (which is usually) I'd take some. Now its gotten so bad that I don't even bother seeing if I can sleep, I just take nyquil and go to bed. I'm too dependent on it... but I've been taking so much that its effects are slowly starting to wane so I have to drink like a good quarter of the bottle to actually fall asleep.
I just wonder where this is all going to take me in a few years pfff.
KIDNEY FAILURE.

| I'm weaning myself off of my Sertraline which was prescribed to treat my depression and PTSD (and resulting panic attacks.)
It's heavy shit. I have to struggle with feeling generally unstable, while having faith that once my dependence on the medication is gone, things will get better.
It's difficult, but I have to do it. I hate drugs - period - so I never even wanted to take this in the first place. Now I finally have the freedom to come off of it, and I won't give up.

| Well... I need to stop eating junkie food, because I get bored or moody and I just eat food that is sooo bad for me.. sometimes I don't even realize it because I never gain any weight, I am a twig with a high metabolism. I only feel it when I get extremely fatigued (Like I am right now) and I feel like everything takes enormous effort.. so I am completely out of shape and I sit on the computer all day cause it doesn't require moving anything but my fingers... I need to stop eating bad food and get out before I wither away from malnutrition.

| Dr I've never taken sedatives whether natural or not lol good luck with trying to be less dependant on it though
Chu I'm currently on zoloft and another medication as I have bipolar 2 disorder and post traumatic stress disorder resulting in agoraphobia, flash backs and the likes most often agoraphobia is the most common symptom for me.
I've been on a few heavyish medications and zoloft plus this other med seems to be helping
have faith if you need to rant or whatever I'm always open as I can relate
lexi luthor my other half and I are on a diet I comfort eat like anything lol but sadly my metabolism isnt nearly as good as yours haha

| Ahh, I know that feel, Lexi. :U People don't seem to understand that being skinny =/= being in shape. We should become workout buddies! ... Somehow.
Oh wow, I didn't know that about you, Ninja! It is very difficult. Although I don't personally have agoraphobia, I often get slightly agoraphobic during panic attacks. Started when I was little - the only place that I felt safe was in my closet, haha. Now I absolutely have to be in a confined place whenever I become unbalanced like that, otherwise the attack just gets worse.
And I am absolutely here for you, too. I have to say it's very comforting just to know that there's someone who understands at least a portion of what I go through. We should be here to support one another, definitely.

| It's so true everyone thinks I am skinny cause I work-out or something and they think I am supper healthy :o And I'd love to be work-out buddies Although not sure hwo that would work out >_>
*googles agoraphobic*
So.. I think I understand Agoraphobia now. I hope you can work through the agoraphobia.
Now when I was looking up the symptoms I saw one that struck me, now I don't think I have agoraphobia because it was only the one symptom but I do think that I have depersonalization disorder. The symptom was a sense of the body being unreal, which I get that all the time.
I feel like I am going through motions in life and watching myself in third person, and sometimes when I think about it too hard I feel detached from my body... like I don't exist but I am still moving. It affects me by making me really apathetic sometimes I just won't care about anything because nothing is.. real. Sometimes I feel really weightless too, and one time it hit me extremely hard. I felt completely unreal, like I was floating through space like nothing at all existed and I feel like I was unconscious but then someone called my name and I snapped out of it. It also accounts for my necrophobia; fear of dying.
Gee.. I hope that wasn't too off topic.

I'm definitely trying to wean myself off of caffeine too. I have this thing where I think it's better to use your natural energy and know when you're actually awake or asleep. It's been a year since I drank anything but then my friend handed me coffee and that went down the drain so I have to start over again. Since I'm not used to it now, I'm way too hyper after it settles in lol
