Does anyone else feel legitimately broken? Like no matter what you do you never seem to get better?

Too old? The only time I have ever heard anything close to that is for seniors mostly due to anticholinergic actions or QT prolongation. Have you tried CBD? I find it helps with anxiety and being emotionally overwhelmed. There are also adjuncts to antidepressants but if they wont even give you an antidepressant they probably wont give you anything else. There is also transcranial magnetic stimulation and related technologies. So there is still a lot of stuff to try.

I found my diet was making me anxious, I sleep and feel better after cutting right down on gluten and carbs but that’s me.

sometimes, i hope you find someone who makes you feel loved and important 🖤 everyone needs that

At one point my spouse was seriously considering ECT but decided against it because of other issues she has going on. The people talking it up said that they got relief by using it.

I’ve done a lot of this with no relief. Found a therapist I’ve been working with for a little over two years. Realized I have some trauma I wasn’t dealing with. Finally sleeping more than 3 hours at night. Don’t give up. Not sure if another therapist is an option but there are great ones out there.

My doctors just keep prescribing antidepressants while at the same time telling me my liver is so full of fat it's moving into my pancreas. I was at the Doctor yesterday after an ultrasound. She said, I'm not worried.


Is that because your liver is not getting destroyed??

Really too old for antidepressants? First time I hear something like that.

And yeah, I wished certain aspects of my life were just fixed but it's a constant struggle

Yup. I've had chronic, constant leg cramps for 12 years. No amount of dieting, exercise, medication, or anything else has done anything to get them to even let up a little.

To say I'm over it is an understatement.

Have you gotten your thyroid function checked ? An imbalance would make you feel that way.

You are not too old for antidepressants thats ridiculous.

Yes, I do not believe the reason why so many people seem to be broken is really being addressed. Not really, if our world was equal opportunity or more set up for the benefit of all instead of the benefit of a few there wouldn't be done many broken, loving in poverty, struggling to keep Their heads afloat. Working to work more. I'm not saying communism is the answer but this sure isn't either.

Yes I have … it gets better

Patience and time heals when it needs to 💕

Yah, I made a post about it.

I don’t think the cracks will ever be repaired. Childhood trauma, chronic pain, so many things.

I hope you can find things that help 💖

Yes I do
