• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

:wave: Hi there, i usailly stay to the theory section of this board because I have a lot of questions I like to ask about God! I just love hearing others thoughts on different topics. I find it a wonderful way of education myself too! :) Anyway, here is why I am here talking about my sudden sadness:
I just do not get it....the air outside is wonderful and spring is around the corner. Things are in full bloom...well sorta speak...I just do not know how and why I have been feeling sad lately. The only conclusion that I can come up with is the switch in my meds...I am meds for anxiety reasons. Let me tell ya that the this med is making me feel nausious, I am losing weight, which I must say does not bother me at the least, but what I dont like is why on earth am I getting sad at the tinest things.... Lately I feel like I am a failure, especally in the "online friend" department. I am blessed that I can say I have one real friend...only one but one is better than none and this friend is SO dear to me, let me say this, she is the only one here on earth that I can say I trust. This is including my family... I think of this friend as everything..... I am glad that I have one friend!!! I am shy and really never wanted more than just a friend. I keep to myself and I do not trust worth a lick. Making friends is not something that is easy for me cause of my low self esteme and my trust level. Anyway, so sorry for getting off track here but last night I cryed myself to sleep because this one online friend ripped me to shreds. Meaning that this friend messaged me and "chewed me out" by making "sassy" remarks. I felt like the reason I am here on earth is to be teased or ridiculed, etc. I still feel sad today!!!!..I feel like crying.

Now my question to you is do you think this could be because of my meds that I just switched? If so is this normal?

Anyway thank you for listening and please share any advice you may have on this!:)

I myself really dont know what the effects of a lot of the medication that is out there today. However, I have tried a number of antidepressant medications...and when it comes to switching meds there are a lot of variables that can affect a persons mood and that could simply have to do with that not being the "right" medicine for you to how you "switched" from one med to the other...maybe you came off the other med too fast and started this med at too low of a dose...I am no professional here but it could very well be your body simply trying to adjust to the new med...

Sorry a lot of rambling, hope it made some sense to you!

I can relate to what you are saying as I have been hurt by online friends too.:hug: All I can suggest is first and foremost take it to the Lord. He's the Friend who will never let you down. Secondly tell your friend, in as gentle a manner as possible, that you were hurt by what she said. I have found that talking can be a great help in these situations. If she is truly your friend you will find a way to salvage your friendship. I'll pray for you.:prayer:
