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.

Greetings to everyone here.
I was doing really good but now I feel terrible again. So many negative thoughts the past couple days. I’ll never be good enough.
I feel like a failure.
I am a failure.
It never changes
What if you are not good enough
I'm not sure you understand. This is due to a situation & not "just b/c" like I know how some people are affected by sadness.
Two days after my appointment with my medical provider in which we had a good appointment and came to a conclusion that my meds were doing well for anxiety and for my PMS depression, well, my PMS hits and the medication seems to have stopped working for the PMS depression part
It's not my imagination either - I know what that "old" depressive feeling was like and boy is it ever lousy.
There's also a chance that I might have to eat fast food in the car alone on Saturday, before I get some groceries but after Saturday's Vigil Mass. Eating fast food alone in the parking lot has always been a trigger for me, meds or not. I try to avoid doing this precisely for this reason.
I hope so too. I'm on 15 mg out of 20 mg of my medication and my depression attack was bad enough such that I don't think a mere 5 mg bump is going to cut it, but I think for formality's sake, I might have my medical provider do this. I was shocked to see the depression symptoms ambush me like that.
Ugh, my provider wants me to wait for one more cycle to hit and see how I feel again. That's not going to be fun at all. I'm sure I need the 20 mg, but maybe it looks to my provider like I'm jumping to conclusions.
Hi LadyBug,
You could be jumping to conclusions LadyBug, it's easy to do under such circumstances. Have patients and see how it goes, I know it's hard, but it might be better in the long run. God be with you through those dark days and remember to pray always LadyBug as you are strengthened by prayer even though it might seem like it's useless praying. I also hope that you are able to read your Bible too LadyBug especially the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John so that your heart & soul are nourished by God's word which is his righteousness.
