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.

I am sad & a loser. If you lose, by definition you are a loser. It never changes. It never gets better.
I would suggest to look at the things you have got and the things you have achieved rather than what you have failed at because you'll find there is always somebody else somewhere out there who did much worse like for example some people are homeless with nothing at all. Sometimes we are made to feel that life is a competition.I am sad & a loser. If you lose, by definition you are a loser. It never changes. It never gets better.
I think that I'm finally getting out of that awful feeling. It took 10 weeks and I finally feel similar to how I did when I was on this med before. I was worried that reinstatement would be unsuccessful. I admit that I tend to "worry" more when I'm on this med, but it's not anxiety.I thought that going back to my old depression meds would make me better off since that med didn't make me a zombie and helped my depression better than other depression meds, but it doesn't seem to be working like it did before, and I'm so fatigued that it has caused me to miss church for a full month, let alone a very important holy day of obligation this year, and it breaks my heart. I wanted this med to work like it did the last time and I'm worried it's not. I'm really let down by what I thought would be a successful reinstatement of my med. I feel some of my old depression and it's not fun.
Don't focus on the slip ups focus on the main goal, the big picture, you'll see past the bumps in the road like today and realize you're still in the raceI don't think this comment belongs here but I'm feeling guilty because I just ate some food that was over 55 grams of fat and I hope I don't gain weight now.
Ironically I think I've lost a couple pounds since, lol.Don't focus on the slip ups focus on the main goal, the big picture, you'll see past the bumps in the road like today and realize you're still in the race
