But my doctor told me to trust her,I know that everone is different, but i am still scared. i was on lexapro it was working really good for me, except for the fact that i was always depressed in the mornings up till 3pm or so. yesterday was my last day of lexapro and last night i took my first prozac, my doctor also has me on a small amout of seroquil for sleep and alprazolam for anxiety sice day one. i do feel differernt today, my question is what is prozac suppose to make you feel? please i want to know if i am feeling is right.
i feel like i just want to craw in bed and sleep all day, but at the same time i feel like. I have a whatever feeling inside of me. it's like I want to say whatever about everything, i don't feel like taking care of my responabilities but i know that i have too. have u ever been on prozac and what does it make u feel like? thank u , i'm just scared

I was bickering with a friend via email b/c I suspected them of having lied to me, something they've been doing more of lately. It was about being invited out. I was trying to get a full story from them by asking questions and their story wasn't holding up. After a few questions they just stopped responding for the day. The next day they sent out emails, but not about the previous day's contentious topic. Am I reasonable to expect an explanation from them if I suspect they're lying? How should I interpret their cutting off communication about a topic? How should I properly respond to it?

We were doing it at a football stadium - he works in one every Friday night.I didn't seem to know much about the ceremony.I asked my mom who was taking care of things - it was some friends of my parents who they haven't seen in a long time.I was surprised they were coming to my vow renewal.My husband & I walked out of the dressing area because I thought it was time, but it wasn't. There was some kind of meeting going on in the middle of the field, so we went back under the stadium.Then a lady I have known most of my life who owns a bridal shop comes in the dressing room & offers to help me get ready.I start to put on my bra, but I tell her I don't want her to help me.I am afraid of what she'll think of me because my bra is old &missing a hook (It really is!) It's time to go out for the ceremony& my dad drives us in the older car my husband& I currently own.I am embarrased by the appearance of the car& tell him so.I am also disappointed that the PA system doesn't work.

My life according to me is not perfect but its okay. I have everything i wanted and ever need. I live life freely and have a awesome family....I have friends whom are still in my life and has been since grade school and we are still really close. My Bf loves me to death, he wants to get married soon...My job is okay. No complaine....It pays the bills and not only that but i enjoy it very much.
Why do i feel like im going to die? It so happens at nighttime and i notice that i been feeling scared. I have all these thoughts and i feel like i'm worriying alot. Random thoughts that just lingers for a while and then goes away and i would feel perfectly okay again. In two nights in a row, i feel like my heart was beating very slow my arms get numb and i start to think and worry again....The feeling is bothersome and i try not to think so much about it but why is it?? And is it normal? Could it be stress? Am i not having the right kinds of food? Am i going crazy?

I'm on a suicidal pulse right now. Yes, I am depressed, and no, I don't want to be put on medication. I've already been on it and it never worked. It just made me feel even more worse about myself. Should I seek professional help ? Should I tell my teacher? I'm in school right now

when it's ready to. And the weirdest things will bring it on. Like today I had to make a phone call to the town office, I've talked to them before and it's never bothered me. My stomach gets tied up in knots when I go to the same Dr I've been seeing for 7 years! Going to Wal Mart can do it sometimes and the last 2 weeks attending the same chruch I have been going to for 9 yrs gave me heart palpitations. I feel like I am shaking all over.. I can't get into see the phyciatrist until Oct 18. So what kinds of things have to tried or heard of? Any home remedies or tricks? I have one med now for anxiety.And it does wonders for all the "What if's" The other one made me so sleepy I couldn't take it. But what's so weird is that I didn't feel this way BEFORE , I've been off it now for a few weeks.
So in the meantime, I'd really love to be able to calm down.

simplicity of the world? Why is everyone so ignorant? And I use this word to the fullest extent of its definition. Isn't it easier to be peaceful and passive rather than go completely out of your way to be rude, greedy and caught up in this pitiful excuse of a world? How many people say hello to a passing stranger? How many people say thank-you if someone holds a door? How many people hold the door? How many people slow down and enjoy their families? How many people instead of wandering about what they want next sit back and indulge in what they have now? Will everyone at least once a day (no matter how busy) live in now, now, now instead of more, more, more. Forget about tomorrow and live for today. Be kind, nice and caring at least with the people you know.
