I been dealing with depression since i was sixteen, locked myself in my room for 3 years and really, its taken a lot out of me. Also suffered from occasional panic attacks and insomnia. Waking up is just a drag! Felt blue and useless. After I read this thread, I realized that it wasnt just me whois dealing with this situation! It makes me feel kinda relieved that im not the only one who have this.. that this is real. (Ive been reading this thread daily for inspiration) I felt empowered to do something and aleviate this condition. Before, getting out of bed is like hell because of the fatigue, but now, It has become bearable. Everyday is a challenge to someone with this condition, but we can take these challenges to make us strong. Guys, Just keep on fighting!!! Never lose hope, even if the days are black. Get Help. find/build a support group. have plenty of exercise. Have time to find" Comfort in your strangeness" :)

OMG! mid- january! That's an excrutiatingly long wait.. :rotfl: Mind as well enjoy the holidays. A shot of tequila and a serving of caldereta wouldn't hurt anyway. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

hello guys I do think I have ADHD.. Mind whirls out and cant focus when stressed out.. have some problem regarding some social skills.. and has been like this since I was a teen.. I'm disheartened about going to a psych MD because, here in the Philippines, the stigma attached is great:crying2: . I really do want to function more effectively, because I know in my heart that I have so much to offer.. need some advice on what to do.. please help

:icon_hug: this goes for everybody!! :kiss and this too!! have a good day everyone!!

its really hard to lose someone you have grown attached to... the kid might have lived a short life, but at least, you did things that made his short stay here more pleasant.. God Bless you..the world would be a much better place with more angels like you around.

The day before clinicals, I usually get nervous.. got sweaty, and "tachypneic", and my mind whirls. I have told this experience to a clinical instructor and it helped a lot. The fact that there is someone who understand what youre going through helps. She also said that I should "identify" those things that make me go "whirlies" and act on it before it gets worse. So What I do is identify and write down all the things that triggers the anxiety, then find a way to minimize it. It works for me. Hope this helps.

hi! an istp here 67,12,38,22 hmm..maybe that explains why i usually take some time before making a decision..

hi bumashes! I remember when a time when we are on duty and I was sweating like a mad and it just dripped on my patient's face!! OMG that was really embarrasing. I used an antiperspirant on my face and neck, and now I dont sweat as much as before. Good luck!
