I've been on Wellbutrin for 6 years now and I've had no bad effects, I'm afraid. I didn't get on well with SSRIs, but Wellbutrin seems to do it for me. Antidepressants are so weird, they cause very different side effects in different people. I definitely recommend talking to your doctor about this, if it's been going…

Congratulations! It was hard but you did it. You earned yourself a little breathing space :)

If it's an imaginary friend they probably won't reject you ;) Seriously though, being kind to yourself or being your own best friend wouldn't do you any harm. Sounds like low self esteem is part of your cocktail of icky feelings, that makes everything harder. On the upside though, it's great that you're making these…

Maybe you need a drill instructor, or maybe you need a sweet best friend instead? Someone to say "don't worry about it, we all mess up sometimes" and give you a hug when you're paralysed by anxiety.

*hugs* I forget about the financial aspect for people without universal healthcare. Yet another stressor you could do without!

I've just realised how my post looks like I was ordering you to do stuff! It's just a technique that I've always found helpful for getting me out of negative patterns. I've been a bundle of nerves for the last week or two for a few reasons, and I'm so tempted to stay at home and sleep whenever I get the chance.…

I'm happy to give my perspective - it's important to normalise the experience. If you do have PPD, it's a very treatable illness, which is why I'm emphasising getting treatment quickly. I've known many women who suffered through months of PPD and finding it difficult to cope, before seeking professional help. I notice…

Me, but it's 9.15am where I am! Welcome.

Make a list of all of the things your social anxiety prevents you from doing, and arrange them in a list from least to most scary. See if you can accomplish the least scary one, which will give you the courage to go up the ladder of scariness. It might also help to think of these things as experiments, it might take…

Where you live, does labour get induced if you are overdue by a certain amount? In Ireland and the UK, you get induced before you get to the two weeks overdue mark. So maybe that could be the absolute-outside-chance goal, and you'll know you won't have to remain pregnant beyond that?

Hi jj,

I want this relationship to work out so bad, and I've already moved 3000 miles to make it work, I love him so much, and I'm so scared this is the end. On top of everything, it will just be so embarrassing - I recently introduced him to my extended family and everyone knows I moved for him. If he breaks up with me,…

My advice? Don't drag it out. Once it becomes clear that he's not as invested as you are, there is literally nothing you can do to repair the relationship. Cutting it off and starting to rebuild right away is the best way to take care of yourself and recover. Don't do what I did and stubbornly keep trying to drag it…

I second what SarahEmCee said. I was on Cymbalta for about eight years for depression. It didn't actually work, but every time I tried to get off it I'd suffer horrendous withdrawal and have to go back on it. It was awful. I finally got off it after a few years of reducing_ from 180mg to 120mg to 90mg to 60mg to 30mg…

Your problems aren't stupid, I'm glad you've shared them. People that you don't even know care about you.

Is your country Ireland? Because Youth Defence usually fund the buses from rural areas when they're having "Rally for Life" protests.

I wonder if American money was behind those buses? American-funded pro-life groups in Ireland set up free buses to bring people to a pro-life rally in Dublin last year. They offered the chance to win an iPad too.

Back teeth? is that a welsh expression?

As you know, British Isles is a geographical term, but given the history between the two countries, it's understandable that people dislike it.
