I am 36 years old, doing night shift work tobearn money from last few years,pure veg,no egg ,no fish non drinker non smoker, unable to sleep properly and some time anxiety occurs.
Male | 36
This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.

Male | 25
Social anxiety causes extreme discomfort in social situations such as communicating with people or being in a mass of people. It is attributed to both genetic and environmental factors. These conversations help cut down these fears. This is an indication that everyone is involved and seeking help. Please visit a psychiatrist so they can counsel you about how to manage this.

I am a 32 year old male, who feels effaminate, feminine, unmanly, girlish, and have super low self confidence, self esteem, willpower, self control, and have serious aforesaid social issues. I have zero motivation, and despise myself. I have been diagonised as bipolar disorder, and had been taking medications for more than 14 years, but if no avail. My recent psychiatrist advised me to check with an endroconologist, and a psychotherapist who specializes in sexuality. Any suggestion?
Male | 32
It seems you are in depressive phase of bipolar disorder, and you most likely seems to have bipolar II, where in one has more of depressive episodes, and short hypomanic episodes, one needs to take mood stabilizers under supervision of psychiatrist to control mood swings( from hypo mania to depression ) along with antidepressants which should help to recover from your illness , and need to psycho educate the patient and relatives on symptoms of both depression and hypomanic episodes

I'm 20 years old student. I have been having suicidal thoughts since a year or two. I have had panic attacks before but since few days i am having several panic attacks in a single day. I always feel uneasy with a pain in chest having problem in breathing. I feel like crying and scared that it might happen again when I'm in front of public.
Female | 20
You might be having panic attacks which is overwhelming and scary. A person having panic attacks may feel many different things including chest pains, trouble breathing, or feeling out of control emotionally. But don’t worry because help is available — talk to someone about it. Reach out to a friend or speak with a therapist.

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.
Male | 16
Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

Can i take warm milk at night as I am taking antidepredsants
Female | 43
Drinking warm milk before sleeping is usually okay for people taking antidepressant medicines. Milk has tryptophan, a substance that helps make serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that aids sleep. However, some individuals may get stomach problems or gas from warm milk. If you don't experience these issues, a glass of warm milk at night is generally fine. Ensure it doesn't interact badly with your medications.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level
Male | 19
It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

I recently found out I am pregnant. I am currently on antidepressants (50mg quetiapine, 150m Lamotrigine and 20mg escitalopram) should I be worried about the baby's development. I also had a miscarriage before, what can I do to keep baby healthy, are there recommendations for supplements
Female | 33
Pregnant women should have normal worries when carrying a baby after a miscarriage. The medications you've been prescribed can influence the development of your baby but quitting them too quickly can also be dangerous. This is the reason why it is vital to discuss this with your doctor. To promote your child's health, eat healthy foods and take prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.

It seems like your son is having difficulties taking over the control and decision-making process. I would suggest contacting a therapist or counselor who treat particularly young adults.

Can vyvanse burn skin/make you unrecognizable? I took 300 mg for 3 days in a row for 4 months. And ended up with psychosis. I have been told I look good and think so too.
Male | 27
Vyvanse has no effects on physical looks. Taking high doses long-term may lead to psychosis. This makes people see, hear things not real. It includes symptoms like confusion, paranoia, and hallucinations. It's crucial to stop Vyvanse, and see a psychiatrist immediately.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve just had this weird feeling that something in my body is off for a couple of days. I don’t know what happened but I was doing stuff non stop for 2 days and I just broke down crying and couldn’t breath. Nothing remotely bad seemed to trigger it. It’s like I try to be normal and socialise and do stuff but it’s so much harder for me than my friends I feel like such a bad person but I literally just can’t be with anyone for long and I start to get really tired and low. I don’t want to do anything and I don’t want to leave the house. I have also lost my appetite and don’t want to eat anything. I always have vivid dreams of something bad happening. I don’t know what’s wrong with me it’s like I feel ill but there’s nothing wrong with me to make me I’ll I feel crazy
Female | 16
You are likely to be going through symptoms of anxiety or stress, which can be so crippling that they can cause you to lose your appetite and get less sleep. These feelings are common and nothing to be afraid of. Take care of yourself by practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, talking to a trusted person or psychiatrist, and getting regular exercise.

I am 31 years old and I am not sleeping in night in depression
Male | 31
If you're experiencing fatigue, losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, or struggling to concentrate, it may be a sign of depression. Depression can arise for various reasons, such as life challenges or chemical imbalances in the brain. Seeking help by talking to trusted people, exercising, and getting enough rest can be beneficial. If these steps don't help, speaking with a therapist or psychiatrist can be a meaningful start toward overcoming depression.

Depression, panic, not hungry and not able to sleep.
Female | 32
Depression and anxiety seem likely here. You're feeling sad and worried. Your sleep and appetite are impacted. It's crucial to open up to someone trusted about these feelings. While causes differ, stress, trauma, and genes can contribute. Techniques like relaxation exercises, being active physically, therapy, and medications can provide relief.

Female | 36
Your friend seems to have been struggling with a mental illness for a few years now. Mental illnesses manifest in different ways such as extreme sadness, anxiety, or difficulty concentrating. A person may experience this due to genetic makeup, brain chemicals, and life events. She should consider seeing a therapist or taking medicine, who will help her cope with the symptoms and feel better.

Female | 24
Your daughter may be experiencing social anxiety. This can show up as trembling, feeling awkward, or avoiding communication, especially with men. Social anxiety is common and can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
To support her, try to be by her side, offering gentle encouragement to engage in social settings when she feels ready. Breathing exercises may help her relax, and you might consider working with a counselor or psychiatrist.

I'm 26 I have autism ocd Suspected ADHD and suspected fibromyalgia I'm taking 15mg of escitalopram It's making me fall asleep from 6 am to 8 am What should I do? I take it in the evening
Male | 26
Escitalopram might be making you feel too drowsy in the morning like it's the reason you are going to sleep. This case is more or less the same with some people. An example of one thing you might do is to consume it earlier in the evening, for instance, right before you eat. This way, you may later be tired but not in the morning. If the problem continues, bring it up with your doctor.
