View 1 RepliesAnxiety :: Significant Hair Loss And Induce More Stress
Has anyone experienced significant amounts of hair loss because of being symptomatic with anxiety? Did it ever grow back??
Ironically the hair loss induces more stress and its always been hard for me to accept because I know its premature and stress related. I know it may be vain to obsess on appearance but again, it happened unnaturally after my surgery and first anxiety attack 12 years ago. There seems to be more shedding since i've experienced symptoms.
Hip Replacement :: First Fall
There was some water on the tiles in the bathroom, I didn't see it, and I have slipped and fallen, not very badly, but my operated leg skidded from underneath me, and a horrible pain shot through my hip. I am fine I think, shaky but fine. I know I haven't dislocated my hip, as I can still stand on it and walk, but the whole hip area is very painful, as well as my lower calf area. My groin especially feels bad why would that hurt so much? I feel quite shocked too...I was dreading this moment, which must come at some point to most of us.
I think my hip is okay in the sense there is no serious injury, even if it is really hurting, I know others have fallen too, how bad was the pain? And do I still need to get it checked by a dr? What can I do to ease the pain? Any suggestions. Any reassurance that I haven't damaged anything would be good, I am limping very badly when I walk.

View 1 RepliesMy Fiance Is Depressed - Fall Out / Loss Of Love
My fiance is depressed. It is my belief that he has battled depression his entire life but has been in denial of it until recently. We have been on and off again for 3 years. While we are together, we experience about a month of good times and then many months of struggle where he seems to get "lost." This has, of course, triggered my own feelings of abandonment and loss. I have been working intensely with my therapist to overcome these feelings for myself. While we are apart it seems to me that he begins to think more clearly and is able to return to our love. We have done this cycle twice. Each time we get closer, he does something to pull us apart and I react in a way that he hates and finds overwhelming. This time I am determined to use all that I have learned in therapy and have been applying it to our relationship and our relationship has been significantly better.
We got engaged in early May and were set to be married in August. One week after getting engaged my SO went on a business trip to the Philippines. He looked up brothels and went to one. When I confronted him about this he said he did not tell me because he was ashamed but that he did not do anything. That he proposed and needed to "draw a line" and needed to be certain he can "walk away." When he got there he realized he wasn't interested and left. His remorse and clarity from this, as well as his connection and vulnerability with me during this time made me feel certain that it was less about me and more about him. We got over it. ( I should mention that he was previously married and has had a history of infidelity.)
One month after that he went on another business trip. Of course my anxiety was heightened and he reassured me that everything will be ok. Needless to say, it wasn't. Supposedly a man in the conference he attended almost died and had to be rushed to the hospital. This triggered his fear of death and he began to drink heavily. I then called his hotel room at 3am just to have a woman answer. The next day he told me they had just gotten there and nothing happened she left right away. He was beside himself. He was saying things along the line of "just give me a gun", "just get away from me, I'm no good for you," "it's over, how can I ever look at you again knowing what I've done to you."
He came home and we talked about it and again his remorse and vulnerability helped me feel connected to him and my therapist helped me understand that I was not to blame. As we worked it out he came to me, hugged me, and said "Thank you for being so good to me. I will be good to you." Many good things came of it, he stopped drinking and has begun to see his own therapist.
We were good for a few days then he began to withdraw. Again, anxiety heightened. I fought for him to open up to me but he couldn't. He continued to tell me that it is not my fault but that he no longer feels the certainty of our relationship. As this is the case, he has called off our wedding (to happen today) and has completely withdrawn from me. He has told me he feels depressed and is unable to return to me. He also told me that the more I talk about it, "it doesn't help" and "pushes" him away more. Yet, I am a person with feelings too and I am deeply hurt by all that has gone on. More so, the lack of connection has begun to intensify the feelings from the two previous events. As if I am feeling them over again and cannot find a reason to work through them.
I can assume that when I put these things out there and I show how hurt I am he has many feelings including inadequacy and pain that he has hurt me. I can also assume that his depression, not me, is to blame for the initial withdrawal and that perhaps therapy and alcohol withdrawal have caused many feelings he has suppressed over the years to come up. It's all rational in my head and all makes sense until it's not and my feelings take over. I am trying to stop myself from becoming too hurt and facing a depression fallout.
I love him with all my heart but as I sit here and write this I just wonder what will become of us. Am I strong enough to deal with this? Will it ever get better? How many more times does he have to go through these depressive episodes? How much time is enough?
Zopiclone :: Fall Asleep But ALWAYS Wake Up At Least Once Or Twice During Night
I'm currently taking Zopiclone (7.5mg) and am now on my third consecutive prescription of it having had an initial 7 days (which didn't work), a further 7 days (which worked some of the time) and now have 14 days, which my doctor has told me to "take as and when needed".
The problem is, most of the time they just don't make me sleep. I become drowsy, fall asleep but then ALWAYS wake up at least once or twice during the night, regardless. I end up waking up feeling groggy and fuzzy headed.
Years ago I was prescribed Temazepam followed by amitriptyline, both for insomnia, but neither of those worked either. I think I'm running out of options.
I hadn't realised until very recently that 7.5mg was the higher dose of the tablets (as opposed to 3.75mg), but is it ok to take one and a half or two at night (occasionally) when I'm in desperate need for some proper sleep?
I'm already on Sertraline (100mg) and Propranolol (10mg x 6 per day) so I'm conscious of not being irresponsible with them... But I REALLY need to sleep!
Mental Conditions :: OCD Developed After Puberty?
I recently noticed that some mild OCD I developed before entering high school has gotten worse. While it used to be compulsive list-making about memories it has turned into touching things/thinking things/blinking/breathing/walking either two or four times. If I touch something on one side, I have to touch it on the other. Many rituals have to do with time, and sometimes if I'm reading a page it's more about completing a symmetry task than actually reading. Memories are "things" which can be visualized like I'm currently living in them. This gets worse during times of high stress.
My question is, why did this develop when I was fourteen? I was always a bit sensitive to certain sounds and dirty surfaces, but those mild obsessions are NOTHING like what I experience now. I assume that every ritual is a stress-relief technique and that since my mind's always racing, my brain feels a need to organize things. But I'm not an organized person, and when I'm feeling low, I almost never complete my work. I can obsess over certain past actions for hours and analyze situations to the point where I'm practically making up other people's reactions or pretending I'm inside their head.
Hair Loss :: Anemia (low Iron Level) Losing A Ton Of Hair Each Day
I began seeing bald patches on my head: one rather large one and 2 smaller ones. I also am losing a ton of hair each day. I have been diagnosed with a ferritin level of 8 and an iron level of 28. I am taking 325 mg of iron 3 times a day along with other vitamins. Approximately how long before I see an improvement in hair fallout and regrowth. I am also seeing a dermatologist for corticosteriod injections to help with regrowth in the completely bald spots. I am strongly considering shaving my whole head?
View 4 RepliesCervical Spondylosis :: Sudden / Instant Fall To Sleep
I have had c/s at levels C4,5,6 and 7 for 5 years now. It is progressively getting worse. Instant sleep- I sleep between 6 to 8 hours on average each night, sometimes solid, thanks to my meds, sometimes not. However over the last 10 to 12 weeks something weird is happening. I suddenly fall asleep. Not a few winks but solid sleep, instantly. So I get up , walk around and pick up my laptop and go to my Emails or whatever and sit down to read, only I instantly fall asleep again, wake up looking at my laptop, tell myself to "buck up" and fall back into a sleep. If I sit down to watch t.v. with my wife we will be watching something, chatting about it and suddenly I am asleep again. Could it be that the osteophytes at levels C6 and C7 which are pushing into my spinal cord are progressing to the point that my brain is becoming starved of oxygen?

View 2 RepliesMental Health :: Lithium For Depression - Experiences?
I have been severely depressed for just over 8 months (first time in my life). My current drug regime is 300 mg Venlafaxine, 30mg Mirtazapine and 100 mg Quetiapine. I have had a very limited response to these drugs and am due back to see my psychiatrist week after next.
At my last appointment the psychiatrist said that our next option would be Lithium. I am not bipolar. I feel rather frightened by this but at the same time, am so desperate to feel better, I'm almost willing to try anything.
