[transmutationisms]

i think you do a really impressive job balancing comprehensive/concise while referencing a lot of complex frameworks(contexts? schools of thought? lol idk what to call that. big brain ideas) but if you have any readings specifically on the institution of psychiatry topic that you would recommend/think are relevant, I'd be interested. it's absolutely not a conversation that's being had enough and I want to be able to articulate myself around it

yes i have readings >:)

first of all, the anti-psychiatry bibliography and resource guide is a great place to start getting oriented in this literature. it's split by sub-topic, and there are paragraphs interspersed throughout that give summaries of major thinkers' positions and short intros to key texts.

Some updates:

We are house/dog sitting for the next 10 weeks. Topaz has adjusted to the new place surprisingly well. Luca has lived here before so he's doing OK. Marceline is feeling a bit anxious, barking a lot and very needy. Hopefully she will get more comfortable as time goes on.

Topaz started her new Life Skills class last weekend with four other dogs. She did really well, was in a great mood and happy to wander around and sniff. She only spooked at one of the other dogs once, and was able to re-engage with me quickly. She has four more classes to go, I'm hoping as the Prozac starts working she will improve even more.

Topaz also started remedial socialisation with children yesterday. She walked with my niece in the stroller and had no reactions at all. To be fair, I don't think she really paid any attention to my niece at all since she was contained in the stroller, but still a good first walk. Next week we will try with my niece on the ground (from a distance).

Marceline went to agility training this week after being in season. She ran four times for me, which was nice. We practiced a threadle, which I don't usually do. I'm hoping she will be keen for the Games trial in a couple of weeks. I will sign her up for Gamblers and Snooker.

The dogs all get on very well together and I can walk Topaz with either Marcie or Jem. Luca also does well with Jem, so we have more combination options for walks. Marcie and Jem basically get on with everyone.

I took Scout and Topaz to the park just the two of them the other morning, but Scout completely ignored us. She is only interested in sniffing and rolling around, and does not listen or recall anymore, you just have to catch her. Privileges of being the oldest dog, she'll be 13 in July. (She's also the oldest dog in the family so far, I think. Jessie died at about 12, Ruby at 11, Stella disappeared at 10, Bicky died prematurely at 7, and Jinx made it to 12.)

Evelyn 10/7/23

Evelyn and I got dinner together last night to try to help me take my mind off of what's going on in my apartment. She asked me about my program, and I told her I’ve always been really interested in books. How they’re written, the exact choice of words authors use, the hidden meanings you can get to if you keep digging. I think it’s beautiful when people die but live on in their writing.

“Why are you in the pharmacy program?” I asked her. 

“I was a biochem student,” she said. “I wasn’t all that certain what to do with that, and my family told me to go into pharmaceuticals.”

“Is that what you want to do, though?”

“It’s not all that awful. I just keep thinking that in a few years, I’ll be making pretty decent money at some CVS.”

“Why not open your own pharmacy? Like the apothecary down the road?”

“Do you know how hard it is to have your own apothecary shop? Big retail stores are driving them all out of business. The only way that that old man is staying in business is because he has natural remedies, and there’s enough broke college students around him that’ll take that over $40 prescriptions for anti-anxiety meds. But once those college students graduate and start making money and move to big cities—they no longer want the snail serums and the crystals. They want Xanax and Prozac.” 

“I heard snail serum is good for your skin. They do it in Korea, apparently.”

“Yeah. It is. Really good.”

“There have to be some people who want natural remedies.”

“Well, there are. There’s all the crunchy mommy bloggers who won’t vaccinate their kids.”

“Yikes.”

“And they’re not the type to go to an apothecary shop anyway. An apothecary shop is, like, three degrees too weird for them. They don’t want the frog oil or the fermented worms. They want to rub crystals on their armpits and put an onion on their kid’s foot when they get measles.”

“And you wouldn’t want to serve them anyway.”

“I don’t want their home schooled kids messing up my shop!”

We started walking back to my apartment (I still pay rent and really have nowhere else to stay, so I'm still living there despite the horrors. And at least with Evelyn there, I feel safer). Evelyn held half of a burrito bowl that she was going to save for breakfast the next morning. I was thinking about buying an aloe plant and how much an aloe plant costs and how hard it is to keep an aloe plant alive.

“I also would have no idea how to start a business like that. And apparently if you want to open an apothecary shop, you have to, like, file all this specific paperwork and get rated every year. And if you’re violating these specific laws, you get fined and the fines are big enough to bankrupt your business.”

“That’s balls,” I said.

“It’s so balls! And then there’s so much politics in the independent apothecary game. Best to leave it alone.”

“Damn. Tell me more.”

And she did. We went back to my apartment, and we talked all night. She told me about her older brothers. I told her about my mother. She told me she’s thinking about shaving her head. I told her I’ve wanted to try going vegetarian if I have the money to support the lifestyle. 

We went out in the middle of the night to get ice cream from the gas station around the corner, and we ended up buying armfuls of junk food to go with it. 

When we got back, she strung up more crystals around my bed. Midterms are soon, she said. Some good crystals help with mental clarity which makes studying much easier. I asked how she knows so much about crystals and candles and stuff, and she didn’t really give an answer. Her mother had a Wiccan phase when she was a kid.

By two in the morning, we were half-asleep and watching Bob’s Burgers. Again on the couch. Again under the same blanket. She rested a fuzzy-socked foot on my leg. I pressed my thigh against hers. 

And that’s it. That’s the update this time. No cats or ghosts or weird clawing at my walls. Just Evelyn.

Having It Out with Melancholy

          If many remedies are prescribed           for an illness, you may be certain           that the illness has no cure.            A. P. CHEKHOV            The Cherry Orchard 1     FROM THE NURSERY When I was born, you waited behind a pile of linen in the nursery, and when we were alone, you lay down on top of me, pressing the bile of desolation into every pore. And from that day on everything under the sun and moon made me sad — even the yellow wooden beads that slid and spun along a spindle on my crib. You taught me to exist without gratitude. You ruined my manners toward God: “We’re here simply to wait for death; the pleasures of earth are overrated.” I only appeared to belong to my mother, to live among blocks and cotton undershirts with snaps; among red tin lunch boxes and report cards in ugly brown slipcases. I was already yours — the anti-urge, the mutilator of souls. 2     BOTTLES Elavil, Ludiomil, Doxepin, Norpramin, Prozac, Lithium, Xanax, Wellbutrin, Parnate, Nardil, Zoloft. The coated ones smell sweet or have no smell; the powdery ones smell like the chemistry lab at school that made me hold my breath. 3     SUGGESTION FROM A FRIEND You wouldn’t be so depressed if you really believed in God. 4     OFTEN Often I go to bed as soon after dinner as seems adult (I mean I try to wait for dark) in order to push away from the massive pain in sleep’s frail wicker coracle. 5     ONCE THERE WAS LIGHT Once, in my early thirties, I saw that I was a speck of light in the great river of light that undulates through time. I was floating with the whole human family. We were all colors—those who are living now, those who have died, those who are not yet born. For a few moments I floated, completely calm, and I no longer hated having to exist. Like a crow who smells hot blood you came flying to pull me out of the glowing stream. “I’ll hold you up. I never let my dear ones drown!” After that, I wept for days. 6     IN AND OUT The dog searches until he finds me upstairs, lies down with a clatter of elbows, puts his head on my foot. Sometimes the sound of his breathing saves my life — in and out, in and out; a pause, a long sigh…. 7     PARDON A piece of burned meat wears my clothes, speaks in my voice, dispatches obligations haltingly, or not at all. It is tired of trying to be stouthearted, tired beyond measure. We move on to the monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Day and night I feel as if I had drunk six cups of coffee, but the pain stops abruptly. With the wonder and bitterness of someone pardoned for a crime she did not commit I come back to marriage and friends, to pink fringed hollyhocks; come back to my desk, books, and chair. 8     CREDO Pharmaceutical wonders are at work but I believe only in this moment of well-being. Unholy ghost, you are certain to come again. Coarse, mean, you’ll put your feet on the coffee table, lean back, and turn me into someone who can’t take the trouble to speak; someone who can’t sleep, or who does nothing but sleep; can’t read, or call for an appointment for help. There is nothing I can do against your coming. When I awake, I am still with thee. 9     WOOD THRUSH High on Nardil and June light I wake at four, waiting greedily for the first note of the wood thrush. Easeful air presses through the screen with the wild, complex song of the bird, and I am overcome by ordinary contentment. What hurt me so terribly all my life until this moment? How I love the small, swiftly beating heart of the bird singing in the great maples; its bright, unequivocal eye.

Beating The Blues: Here's Helpful Advice

Many people face the problem of depression, usually, at least, once in their lives. Handling depression can be somewhat difficult, as people feel trapped with their feelings of sadness and despair. However, no matter how impossible it may seem, depression can be faced. The tips in this article can help you face depression.

A great tip that can help you battle depression is to make sure you're getting enough sleep everyday. It's important that we get enough sleep because it helps our bodies function. If we don't get enough sleep, we can get tired and that can lead to feeling depressed.

A simple walk around your block can be a wonderful mood elevator and a way to get those happy endorphins working to your advantage.

If you have forgotten the joy of walking, then take your dog (or borrow one from a neighbor) and focus on his joy and antics for a few minutes. Getting out in your neighborhood keeps you in touch with what is going on around you and helps you take the focus off yourself for awhile.

One great tip when battleling depression is to force yourself to smile. This may be hard especially because you are depressed but if you can do it you will not regret it. Scientists have shown that smiling releases endorphins and as such helps bring your mood to an elevated and happy state.

Work on creating a positive and uplifting social life.

Try hard to be more positive and show warmth to your friends and in social situations. Take an interest in them and work on developing and sharing the same interests and activities. Inform your friends and family that you want to be more positive and be more involved in their lives, as opposed to dwelling in your own depression.

Pregabalin 50 mg capsule is a group of medicine called Anticonvulsants. It is used in adults to treat neuropathic pain and is also useful for long-lasting pain to treat nerve fibers in the body. It is characterized by hot, burning, sharp, and other things. Hence, Pregabalin 50mg capsule, considers the treatment for epilepsy, which combines with other anti-epileptic medicines. It may also be effective in treating generalized anxiety disorders.

If you are opposed to taking prescription medications for depression, try St. John's Wort. This natural, herbal remedy for depression can be very effective. It works in much the same way as Prozac by increasing the availability of mid-brain serotonin. This helps elevate your mood and alleviate your feelings of sorrow.

Eat a healthy diet.

Many times someone who is depressed my try to cover those feelings with overeating, binge drinking, or even starving themselves. Suppressed feelings are one of the largest contributing factors in depression. When you find yourself reaching for the bag of cookies or bottle of wine, remind yourself that you are making the feelings worse. In addition to forcing you to deal with your feelings instead of covering them, maintaining healthy eating habits will improve your health as well as your mood.

A support network is absolutely crucial in overcoming and even, in living with clinical depression. Some of the best support groups are now found online on websites known as forums. These are typically formed by other people who are experiencing the same thing that you are and will be able to give you better advice.

Pregarica 75mg includes Pregabalin, which belongs to the anticonvulsant class of drugs. It is employed in the treatment of epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).

Bottom of Form:

Many things can cause depression; therefore, you need to attempt to discover the single root cause of your depression. Once you've pinpointed the cause of your depression, you've taken the first step towards handling your condition when times get tough.

If you have been prescribed medication by your doctor but do not feel completely comfortable with it, be sure to discuss this with him or her. He may be able to help you find a better medication or he may even be able to sooth your worries by explaining what it does.

One of the best ways to alleviate depression and change the way you feel, is to change your surroundings.

When you feel bad, you may begin to associate your environment with those bad feelings. If you aren't careful, your environment can become a constant reminder of your problems. The solution is to change your surroundings. It doesn't have to be something drastic. Simply adding decorations to your bedroom or changing furniture can help you get out of a rut and feel better.

A helpful tip for anyone suffering from depression is to make an effort to cut crying, complaining and lengthy discussions of sadness out of your daily routine. Constant expressions of unhappiness may cause those around you to attempt to provide a sympathetic ear, which may actually end up perpetuating the depressive cycle. By trying to remain positive, you will avoid sinking into a rut of self-pity.

Help others:

People who suffer from depression are often focused on themselves and the pain they are experiencing, but putting those feelings aside to help people does a lot of good. Helping others helps them and it helps you at the same time. Their joy and appreciation will make you feel a little sunnier.

Depression can affect the whole family:

not just the sufferer. Children especially feel left out when mom or dad are feeling sad and unable to participate in family activities. Make sure you take some time to explain what's going on, and reassure your child that you and your doctor are working hard to find healing for you.

Sometimes it is the simple steps that help manage depression effectively. Writing lists of things to do is a great strategy because depression affects a person's ability to manage simple tasks without being overwhelmed. Writing down errands, goals or appointments will help keep peace of mind, and take the clutter out of your thoughts.

As stated before, many people have depression at least once. People feel troubling sadness and despair, and may feel as if they can find no way to escape it. Although it may seem impossible to beat depression, it is not. If you simply remember the tips from this article, you can begin your battle against depression.

Having It Out with Melancholy by Jane Kenyon

         If many remedies are prescribed          for an illness, you may be certain          that the illness has no cure.                              A. P. CHEKHOV                             The Cherry Orchard

1  FROM THE NURSERY

When I was born, you waited behind a pile of linen in the nursery, and when we were alone, you lay down on top of me, pressing the bile of desolation into every pore.

And from that day on everything under the sun and moon made me sad—even the yellow wooden beads that slid and spun along a spindle on my crib.

You taught me to exist without gratitude. You ruined my manners toward God: "We're here simply to wait for death; the pleasures of earth are overrated."

I only appeared to belong to my mother, to live among blocks and cotton undershirts with snaps; among red tin lunch boxes and report cards in ugly brown slipcases. I was already yours—the anti-urge, the mutilator of souls.

2  BOTTLES

Elavil, Ludiomil, Doxepin, Norpramin, Prozac, Lithium, Xanax, Wellbutrin, Parnate, Nardil, Zoloft. The coated ones smell sweet or have no smell; the powdery ones smell like the chemistry lab at school that made me hold my breath.

3  SUGGESTION FROM A FRIEND

You wouldn't be so depressed if you really believed in God.

4  OFTEN

Often I go to bed as soon after dinner as seems adult (I mean I try to wait for dark) in order to push away from the massive pain in sleep's frail wicker coracle.

5  ONCE THERE WAS LIGHT

Once, in my early thirties, I saw that I was a speck of light in the great river of light that undulates through time.

I was floating with the whole human family. We were all colors—those who are living now, those who have died, those who are not yet born. For a few

moments I floated, completely calm, and I no longer hated having to exist.

Like a crow who smells hot blood you came flying to pull me out of the glowing stream. "I'll hold you up. I never let my dear ones drown!" After that, I wept for days.

6  IN AND OUT

The dog searches until he finds me upstairs, lies down with a clatter of elbows, puts his head on my foot.

Sometimes the sound of his breathing saves my life—in and out, in and out; a pause, a long sigh. . . .

7  PARDON

A piece of burned meat wears my clothes, speaks in my voice, dispatches obligations haltingly, or not at all. It is tired of trying to be stouthearted, tired beyond measure.

We move on to the monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Day and night I feel as if I had drunk six cups of coffee, but the pain stops abruptly. With the wonder and bitterness of someone pardoned for a crime she did not commit I come back to marriage and friends, to pink fringed hollyhocks; come back to my desk, books, and chair.

8  CREDO

Pharmaceutical wonders are at work but I believe only in this moment of well-being. Unholy ghost, you are certain to come again.

Coarse, mean, you'll put your feet on the coffee table, lean back, and turn me into someone who can't take the trouble to speak; someone who can't sleep, or who does nothing but sleep; can't read, or call for an appointment for help.

There is nothing I can do against your coming. When I awake, I am still with thee.

9  WOOD THRUSH

High on Nardil and June light I wake at four, waiting greedily for the first note of the wood thrush. Easeful air presses through the screen with the wild, complex song of the bird, and I am overcome

Rust Belt Jessie’s NaPoWriMo 2023 Prompts: #8

one long longing

Homesick is just a state of mind for me, that I’m always missing someone or some place or something, I’m always trying to get back some imaginary somewhere. My life has been one long longing.  —Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

When I was little, I could sit for hours looking out the window. It could be because of a certain kind of music, or because it was dusk, or a certain slant of the light. There was a sensation in my chest, a churning. I couldn't put words to it then. But it was a knowledge that there was something out there. That there was a hole in the world. And a longing to go there. —Karin Tidbeck, “Some Letters for Ove Lindström”

Longing is the agony of the nearness of the distant.  —Martin Heidegger, “Who is Nietzsche’s Zarathustra?”

Longing, we say, because desire is full / of endless distances.  —Robert Hass, “Meditation at Lagunitas”

We treat desire as a problem to be solved, address what desire is for and focus on that something and how to acquire it rather than on the nature and the sensation of desire, though often it is the distance between us and the object of desire that fills the space in between with the blue of longing.  —Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide To Getting Lost

Longing, of course / becomes its own object, the way / that desire can make anything into a god.  —Mark Doty, "The Death of Antinoüs"

Some mornings I’m filled with longing, with sadness that has no cause.  —Lisa Olstein, “[both the specific remedy and the condition of health]”

My blood is alive with many voices / telling me I am made of longing.  —Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours

Every time you remember something, the memory weakens, as you’re remembering the last recollection, rather than the memory itself. Nothing can remain intact. Still, it does not stop you wanting, does not stop you longing.  —Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

Do you believe in ghosts? // Of course. I have seen longing grow legs and follow me. —GennaRose Nethercott, “A Ghost Is a Memory”

It is supposed that a writer writes what he knows about and knows well. It is not necessarily so. A writer’s subject may just as well, if not more likely, be what the writer longs for and dreams about, in an unquenchable dream, in lush detail and harsh honesty.  —Mary Oliver, Upstream

Poetry itself—like life, like love, like any spiritual hunger—thrives on longings that can never be fulfilled…. —Christian Wiman, He Held Radical Light

I write from experience and longing.  —Adrienne Maree Brown

Perhaps the longing itself is holy.  —Melissa Broder, “Life Without Longing”

… it’s spring / and it’s starting again, the longing that begins, and begins, and begins.  —Kim Addonizio, “Onset”

Tough Time Dealing With Depression? These Tips Will Help

If you are feeling depressed it may seem as though nothing can pull you out of it. You may believe there's nothing that can be done to make your life good again. No matter how you feel, hope is always within reach. Below is some great advice that will help you combat depression, so you can feel better about your life. Get out of the house and socialize. Get involved in activities outside the home and meet people. Even calling on friends and family can help. Let them know about your struggles with depression, and ask for their help. Have them call you out when you start displaying negativity, and to praise or compliment you when you act positively. Depression, which can be like a fog that isolates you from the rest of the world, is hard to lift and keep away by yourself. Getting supportive relationships can play a major role in beginning to defeat depression. Even though the nature of depression can make you want to retreat from others, remind yourself that your trusted friends and family members want to help. They can help lead you through this tough time in your life. Consider taking a dietary supplement. Studies have shown that vitamin deficiencies can affect brain function, leading to disorders such as depression. Especially implicated are B vitamins, including folic acid and B-12. A chromium supplement, while not fixing a deficiency, will also help boost energy levels and reduce junk food cravings. If you are opposed to taking prescription medications for depression, try St. John's Wort. This natural, herbal remedy for depression can be very effective. It works in much the same way as Prozac by increasing the availability of mid-brain serotonin. This helps elevate your mood and alleviate your feelings of sorrow. Inform yourself about clinical depression as much as possible. Many times, the very act of understanding exactly what is happening in your brain chemistry is enough to help you combat the problem. When you are able to understand why you suddenly feel sad, it may help to make some of that sadness feel less real. When depression hits, take the time to count your blessings. No matter if you are sad, or possibly angry, be thankful for what you do have and what you have going for you. There are people in this world who would gladly exchange their place for yours and not take the gifts that you have been given for granted. With a gracious attitude and positive thoughts, depression cannot survive. Keep your mind active through puzzles, games, and other challenges. The more time you leave yourself idle, the more time you'll have to dwell on negativity. If you keep busy, you'll feel more accomplished, and you won't be spending your days thinking about everything that's gone wrong. Focus on positive, uplifting activities at which you can be successful. Laughter really is the best medicine. Research shows that even a smile can raise serotonin levels, the same effect that many antidepressants give. Instead of wallowing in your sadness with depressing music and tear-jerking tragedies, break out the stand-up albums or put on a silly comedy. Even if you don't feel like it when it starts, you will find yourself smiling and laughing despite yourself by the end! Go on a long walk to enjoy nature. Sometimes a change of scenery can help us appreciate life. Watch the animals leading their lives. Pay attention to the small details and try to find the beauty in nature. Breathe in the fresh air, relax, and let your mind wander as you walk. See Most trusted online dispensary . Not only is depression a real disease on its own, it can also be a symptom of other underlying illnesses. Only your doctor will be able to tell you what type of depression you are suffering from or if your symptoms are caused by another ailment.

11 Women With PMDD Share What It's Really Like

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is the evil cousin of PMS. They share the same types of symptoms—moodiness, increased hunger, cravings, fatigue, cramps, pain, brain fog, and depression, among others—but for PMDD sufferers, those symptoms get so bad they can cripple a woman's ability to lead a normal life.  

While up to 85 percent of women get PMS, according to the US Department of Health, only about 5 percent of women experience PMDD, according to the American Journal of Psychiatry.

We asked women with PMDD what it's really like living with the disorder. Here are their stories:

"I was diagnosed with PMDD last summer. Six months prior to my diagnosis, I started taking a certain birth control and soon every month I was experiencing severe PMS issues. I am a generally happy person, but during those few days I was someone entirely different. I was extremely depressed and anxious, having much more frequent panic attacks, and was super sensitive and lonely. I was even suicidal, which was terrifying. And the worst part was I was convinced that I had always been this miserable, and that I would always be this miserable, and it was never going to change. It felt as if someone had completely burned out the light in me and all happiness and joy and hope was gone. I didn't make the connection that it was related to my period but thankfully a close friend did. I have since switched birth control, which helped a lot, and increased the dosage of my anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds. Most importantly, I am aware of the way I feel those few days so I know to expect it, and I can logically remind myself that I will stop feeling that way soon. Looking back, I realize that I've probably always had pretty bad PMS or PMDD. The birth control worsened it but it was also causing a lot of issues I wasn't aware of previously as well." —Katherine H., 22, Edmonds, WA

———————————

"PMDD is out of control. I cry really easily for about a week. My biggest issue is that I am convinced that I am failing at everything—being a wife, a mom, work projects, fitness, my whole life! And even though it feels so real I constantly have to question if my feelings are valid or if they are amplified by my cycle. I just set an alert in my phone to remind me to consider my hormones the next time I feel that way." —Krysten B., 32, Toronto, CA

———————————

"A week before my period, I become a complete psycho, completely unlike myself. I'm tearful, want to eat everything that's sweet or salty, have absolutely no tolerance for anything other than perfection, and prefer to be left completely alone. I already take an antidepressant but my PMDD was a complete nightmare so my doctor gave me Prozac to take for just 10 days a month. Basically, I start it when I start to get that irrational feeling and keeping taking it until my period starts. And that's just the emotional stuff. On the physical side, I have debilitating cramps, backaches, and headaches that last for days. Yep. I'm a peach." —Kristen L., 40, Knoxville, TN

———————————

"In the past, PMDD almost made me suicidal and totally broke my spirit. Yes it wasthat bad. Every month. Eventually I got tired of being a 'crazy PMS woman' and decided I needed to fix this. Since I don't like to take pharmaceuticals, I branched out to homeopathic remedies and I discovered St. John's Wort and essential oils, especially clary sage and Doterra Calm-Its. It's a lot better now but I still have my hard days." —Amy S., 43, Zebulon, NC

———————————

"My PMDD got so bad I had to go to a psychiatrist and be put on Prozac along with another antidepressant I was already taking. I was a mess—anxious, crying randomly over the smallest thing, and eating everything in sight. One example is someone made a YouTube mashup of the Age of Ultron trailers with Pinocchio footage and the 'I've got no strings on me' song and that wrecked me for weeks. Every time I thought about scenes from Pinocchio I would start panicking and crying at my work desk. It's been a few years and I'm better now. I'm off birth control and weening myself off the Prozac. I notice a week before my period I will sob during any sad part in a movie or book I'm reading, and a day or two before, I notice I'm more likely to be anxious." —Kate W., 36, Alaska

———————————

"This has impacted my ability to work effectively. My pet peeve is when people say 'it must be close to your time of the month' when they simply don't like what I'm saying. I have run into that problem a lot at previous jobs and it makes it really hard to be taken seriously. It's bullshit because my feelings are valid regardless and also PMDD is not a joke. I am so lucky now to have a male boss who understands but it wasn't always that way. I have also have found a lot of relief with naturopathic and herbal remedies." —Amalia F., 28, Vancouver, Canada

———————————

"My PMS was tolerable until my second child was born and then everything went off the rails. I'd be looking forward to plans with others, happy, and then about 10 to 14 days before my flow would start, my mood would turn on a dime. I'd be horrible—crying, screaming that ~nobody understands~, just so much emotional pain. I'd basically lock myself up in the bedroom for a full day to cry, get angry, and feel sorry for myself. It took three doctors before I finally found one who would listen to me before I was finally diagnosed with PMDD. I took Prozac for three years for it but it made me feel numb, like a zombie and not like myself. So I quit and my family just deals with me now. As I've gotten closer to menopause the PMDD is not as bad, but can be very unpredictable due to hormonal swings from perimenopause. The worst part now is I feel like my friendships have suffered. I always seem to have episodes around major holidays and events and I end up bumming everyone out if I do show up so I end up staying home a lot." —Colleen T., 50, St. Paul, MN

———————————

"I'm overly emotional for the week before my period. Saying that makes it sound like it's not that bad but I get so distraught that my fiance has actually scheduled it in his phone as 'blood sport' to remind himself what's coming. I'm thankful that he's patient because I also feel like everyone hates me that week, too." —Kenlie T., 36, New Orleans, LA

———————————

"All month long I'm fine and feel even and calm and then suddenly, the week before my period, I can't handle even the tiniest little thing. My irritability goes through the roof (which is not great since I have a 5-year-old) and I feel like I have no friends. It really makes me sad." —Jessica S., 28, Broomfield, CO

———————————

"I know my period is coming because all of a sudden all of my joints hurt, especially my knees and ankles. I also get crazy gnarly cramps and once I even had a cyst that ruptured while I was on a date and the guy had to take me to the hospital! It was so embarrassing. Thankfully my husband now is very understanding when this time rolls around each month. The worst part is people who just think I make this stuff up. Some months are better than others and sometimes the pain is completely debilitating! My emotions are also a rollercoaster. Anytime I see something cute or inspiring, I burst into tears." —Ivie C., 21, Rexburg, ID

———————————

"My PMDD manifests in both mental and physical symptoms. From the time I got my period at age 12, I've had extreme cramps and heavy bleeding. I'd leak at school through a super maxi pad every class so I'd tie sweatshirts around my waist and have to scrub my clothes when I got home. It was super humiliating. I'd have to take six to eight ibuprofen at a time to deal with cramps, and if I didn't I'd end up on the floor sweating like I had the flu. Sometimes I'd even throw up. This meant I ended up spending a lot of time sick in bathrooms and knew where every restroom was at all times. Birth control helped manage the PMDD and other issues, but as soon as I was done having kids, I had a hysterectomy. That was the best thing I've ever done." —Mandy P., 39, Mendon, UT

Depression - How Is Depression Treated?

In other countries, as well as in the United States, more than 11 million people suffer from depression each year. This condition, which affects the mind, can have long-term effects such as frustration, lack of desire, and inability to concentrate. Depression affects people of all ages and genders but is more common in women. It is helpful to seek advice from a psychiatric professional, such as a psychiatrist, for proper diagnosis and treatment. This condition can adversely affect school, home life, and work.

Most treatments include a combination of drug therapies and natural remedies for a perfectly balanced physical and emotional condition. Medications may include some form of antidepressant. The most commonly used types are tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOIs, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs. SSRIs have become the most popular way to treat depression because of the lower risk of side effects. These drugs include names like Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft.

Treatment is often prescribed with medication to help a person cope with the problems, symptoms, and techniques of dealing with depression. These can be group or individual therapy sessions to talk about issues. Expression therapy, such as dance, art, or music, helps to express deep feelings and emotions. Relaxation techniques help to bring attention and calm. Yoga and meditation are great ways to do this.

Lifestyle changes and natural adjustment of body fluids have also been shown to be beneficial in promoting a better self-image. Eating a well-balanced diet and adding supplements such as fish oil, zinc, and B vitamins can help control depression. It is also worth exercising several times each week. Alternative therapies such as acupuncture and hypnosis can help alleviate the symptoms of depression and unify the body, mind, and soul.

It is important to discuss all treatment options with your doctor or psychiatrist to determine the right combination. Each person has different levels of depression and a treatment plan should be customized for the individual. If using supplements or radically altering your diet; Be sure to inform the doctor so that they can be taken into account when preparing a treatment plan.

Depression does not adversely affect a person's life. With proper treatment, many depressed people lead a full, happy, successful life. It is important to take steps to minimize the tendency to depression in order to have a better sense of well-being and peace. The mind, body, and soul are balanced by the use of a combination of medicinal and natural remedies.

this is the 2nd part to my 7 part series of making all of the songs from YCGMA into short stories! this one is for saline solution, hope ya like it! :]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One, two, three and four

The seconds tick by on the clock in my workroom. The sound sensitive LED border of the clock lights up whenever I cough. I find it hard to breathe, the wheezes between breaths are loud, so I take a puff of my inhaler sitting on my desk next to my pc. It’s been difficult to walk lately, I’ve made a steady recovery but my legs sometimes feel like the pores are being replaced with lead- heavy and cold. Despite this though, I make my way over to my bedroom. My roommate isn’t home yet, despite how late it is. The walls of the hallway echo my footsteps, the pain I’m in not reflecting with the sounds. ‘I need to take my meds…’ My room, surprisingly not as messy as I thought. Clothes here and there, an undone bed, but overall everything is where it should be. My legs shuffle into the bathroom connected to my room, locating my paracetamol and prozac.  Click, click!

I think this time I'm dying

I open the paracetamol with ease, it hypnotizes me. Quickly opening the prozac, my breath becomes jagged- confused. Water flows after the pills, hindering the struggle it would have been, but I feel the same. Panicked and afraid. What's wrong with me? Do I need more? Is there something else? I'm scared, pissed off and lonely- ‘I'm overthinking this.’  But am I? Nonetheless, nothings happening. My legs still feel like hell, and the cold invisible hand is pinching the skin behind my neck, but when I claw at it nothings there. My eyes distantly shift to the pill bottles on the counter. I can feel myself trying to look elsewhere, but my general focus is on the pills. I need more.

I'm not melodramatic

Just 1 more of each should do. Just to be safe. I'm just being safe! 

I'm just pragmatic beyond any reasoning 

Better safe than sorry, right? I take another drink of water and wait for the relief to set in, but it never does. My legs are aching even more and the fact that there's no effects is just making me panic more. What's wrong with me? Why isn't it setting in fast enough-?!

For thinking I've got f*cking rabies or something.

More. I need more. Maybe that's the problem, I'm just not taking a high enough dosage! I look down at each of the bottles, reading the label for the prescription. “Take 2 per day when symptoms arise. Contact your psychiatrist if a higher dosage is needed” ‘I know what I'm doing.’  There's something wrong with me, I can't bother contacting anyone. I need relief now. Out of impulse, I down both of the bottles and drink more water to allow the pills to travel with ease. Then, I just wait. 

I think this time I'm dying

Pain shoots up from my stomach and sprouts to my head like a sapling. The room morphs and shifts and scrunches up like clay. Am I in a dream? I look down at my hands to pinch myself, shaking, blurry and full of vibrant colors.   

I think this time I'm dying.

F*ck. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I've lost my mind. 

The world morphs and moves without my eyes permission. My stomach hurts more than my legs do. The reflection in the mirror, a pale, sad and confused blur. The pain isn't going away, it's growing worse and worse. Pins and needles pricking and scraping along the inside of my abdomen, there's millions of them. Every deep breath I take is a dulled stab into my chest. Was the original concern as big as I've made it now?

Blurring the fact and the fictions

Everything is so unreal. Why did I do this again? Where am I? My memory becomes a flickering bulb, dying out from being strained of its power. My concept of time and object permanence is foggy, but that's how I know something is wrong. But what? Am I blowing things out of proportion or is this bigger than a prescription?

While simultaneously fixing myself up with a girl named panadol.

I looked down at the empty paracetamol bottle, I did the right thing- right? My intentions feel like they've been beaten and whipped with a fork, scrambled and confused with each other. But I did what I did, it still hurts though. A pang of regret stabs at my throat for a second, but the desire for relief overrides it.

Bite the tablet, elixir

The elixir! My hands swiftly open the cabinet again, desperate for elixir. I quickly find, it- half a bottle of elixir should do. As quickly as I found the bottle, I downed half of it and quickly drank more freezing cold water from the sink.

Disintegrate, mouths a mixer

That's 3 different types of pills. 3 different remedies! I'll be alright now, right? I should be, but I can't stand steadily anymore. My arms are violently shaking and my legs are about to drop. The sight is horrifying, everything is flickering from absolute darkness to furniture and walls melting like an ice cube. Am I blinking? I can't tell.

I think I've lost my mind

I can't handle this. Am I in mild pain or are things dire? I want the pain I had before, less overwhelming. I have no control anymore. The front door opening and closing shut was barely audible for my ears. “Wil? Sorry I came home so late, I had a client come further into the day.”  My legs give in, and a loud THUMP rumbles through the house as I fall onto the tiled floor of the bathroom. I feel the satisfaction of my eyes rolling into my head as my eyelids stay confused on whether or not to close or to stick open to stay alert. “Wil?! Wilbur are you alright?!”  Her footsteps rush to my room and into the bathroom to see my frail and hurt body on the ground with the pill bottles strewn on the counter.

I think I've lost my mind.

“WILBUR!!”  She rushes to my side and drops to her knees. Her shout was so loud, it made me snap back into the present. After checking my pulse and checking if I'm still breathing, she frantically digs through her coat pocket and dials 999. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I could just break one more night

I can hear my roommate crying distantly after hanging up and putting away her phone. I don't understand...why do I need an ambulance? I was helping myself, wasn't I? 

Maybe I could wake up and feel alright.

I could have gotten past on my own if she hadn't found me. I would have been just fine. I'm tired, just in general. 

I optimistically set my alarm clock time

I had something to do today? I forgot. I can hear my alarm clock from my bedside table blaring at me, screaming at me to get up. There was a subtle jolt of excitement that shot up my neck, or was it anxiety? Fear? Adrenaline? Denial?

Serves only to mock me with flashing lights.

The sound seems to go on for longer, despite my roommate rushing to turn it off. Its turned off, but I can still hear the sound of it echoing through the room, bouncing into my ears. My hands raise to cover my ears, but the sound just gets louder and louder. I haven't gotten up yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I've made my choice

Everything is jumping around slightly, the paramedics in the ambulance looming over me, reaching for tubes and clear pouches. I feel something warm on my right hand, my roommate is sitting there with my hand in hers while trying to keep herself together.  “Don’t worry Wil, they're gonna fix you up and you'll be just fine...!”  She says it like she’s trying to reassure herself more than me- she's more worried about me then I am for myself. One of the paramedics sitting next to her speak up with a clipboard in hand. “You said he overdosed?” “Yes, I came home from work and there was a loud thud from his bathroom. I ran over and he was barely conscious on the floor with pill bottles all around…”

I’m a deceased playing victim

I...I overdosed?  How did I not notice? No no, there was something wrong with me, that's why I took so many! But...was I wrong? I was just scared! I didn’t know that this would happen, its not my fault!

Slip the face, slip the victory.

I can't run away from myself, I’m my own shadow. I was scared. I am scared. This is all my fault. I took the pills, no one forced me to. It was me who did this. But, I’m not too angry with myself. Despite my impulsive actions, I don't hate the situation I've thrown myself into. 

I think I’ve made my choice

If I don't make it out of this, I won't be disappointed. If I do, then that's alright too. I dug myself into this, so don't I deserve to suffer the consequences?

Sit secluded in hatred

I’m such a bother to her, this is the second time she's had to deal with me like this. The hospital probably hates me, but I won't bother to apologize. I meant what I did both this and the last time I was sent there, they shouldn't be helping me. But I’m not suicidal, I insist.

Void the plans friends are making.

I shouldn't have set my alarm. I would have stayed asleep, made things less stressful. Why did I even set my alarm? Nothing special was happening today, I don't have plans with anyone and the only thing I was supposed to do today is work, and that's later in the day. Most of my friends don't even like me that much, they don't invite me to places or acknowledge me so can I even consider them friends? The only person who even tries to pay attention to me is…is…

I think I've found my voice

“I...I’m..-” My roommate quickly looks down at me when she hears me speak. Her eyes show it all, shocked and relieved. Her skin is still puffy and red around her eyes, but she doesn't bother to hide it. “Thank the lord your alright...what were you thinking?!”  She speaks in a hushed tone, intending to not startle or overwhelm me more than I already am. She doesn't deserve this, my paranoia and issues aren't hers. “I’m...I’m sorry..” I hear my voice for the first time in a while, it's gravely and dry. She looks down at me and her features seem to have softened.  “We're almost at the hospital, you're gonna be alright.”

I'm a leech sucking blood bags

I've been living off of her this entire time. My hardships were always nonexistent, weren't they? All of my tolls were never mine to begin with, her generosity is what she replaced it with. And this is what I'm giving her, more and more to deal with. But she doesn't have to, right? It's her choice, it's her fault. I'm not guilty.

Taste defeat, it's a sandbag

As soon as the vehicle stopped, I was urgently rolled out the back and rushed into a hospital room. I can hear the doctors and nurses arguing back and forth rapidly, one after the other.

Saline solution

I hear from the wad of voices.  Hm, so they're desperate as well it seems… My mind decides not to bother with their procedures, instead I just leave it all to them. It won't be on my hands if they fail after all, right? 

Saline solutions to all your

A set of doctors rush into my hospital room while a nurse rolls in a cart filled with who knows what for me. IV tubes are hooked up to a hanging pouch and attached to my arms.

Saline solution to all your

My eyes are squinted from the obnoxiously bright lights scattered in the hospital, the white walls making me develop more of a headache. My head flops to the left, seeing my roommate outside the window in the hallway. She's pacing around frantically with her phone up to her ear. I then turn my head to the right to see a slightly foggy pouch of saline hanging above me, the IV tubes connecting the liquid to my internal damage.

Saline solution to all your…

One of the doctors helps me drink a small amount of the saline solution and then hands me a small trash can. My stomach is crying and screaming in pain and mercy. Tears prick the corners of my eyes from the guttural pain, but it'll be out of my system soon.

Problems.

Where To Get Treatment For Anxiety Disorder

The first step is to rule out the possibility that your symptoms are being caused by a medical condition that is not psychiatric. Among the conditions that produce symptoms similar to those of anxiety are hyperthyroidism or other endocrine problems, too much or too little calcium, low blood sugar, and certain heart problems. Certain medicines also can sometimes cause anxiety. A thorough evaluation by your health care provider will determine if any of these conditions are the cause of your symptoms. If no other medical culprit can be found and the symptoms seem out of proportion to any situation you are facing, you may be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.

Some types of anxiety drugs can be habit-forming and are usually prescribed on a short-term or as-needed basis. Different anxiety disorders have different medication regimens. Some are preventive and some are designed to cure the problem.Antidepressants, particularly the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are widely used to treat and prevent a variety of anxiety disorders. Examples of SSRIs that are commonly used to treat chronic anxiety include citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft). The antidepressants duloxetine (Cymbalta) and venlafaxine (Effexor), SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) which act on the brain chemicals serotonin and norephinephrine, and some of the tricyclic antidepressants like imipramine (Tofranil), may also help.

Why Do People Not Seek Out Treatment For Social Anxiety Disorder

Antihistamines (such as hydroxyzine) and beta-blockers (such as propranolol) can help mild cases of anxiety as well as performance anxiety, a type of social anxiety disorder. Antidepressants such as SSRIs or SNRIs or tricyclics need to be taken daily whether or not you have anxiety on that particular day, as prescribed by your health care provider. Antihistamines or beta-blockers are usually taken only when needed for anxiety, or immediately before an anxiety-provoking event (for example, taking propranolol shortly before giving a speech). Finally, certain anticonvulsant medicines, such as gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica), are also beginning to show value in treating some forms of anxiety in initial research studies If you have acute anxiety (panic attack), you will likely need to take an anti-anxiety medicine as well.

All About Depression

1. Is depression a mental illness? Depression is a serious, but treatable, mental problem, not a personal weakness. It is very common, affecting 10 percent of the U.S. population at any time. All of us can relate to having the "blues". Clinical depression, also called "major depressive disorder", is a more serious medical illness that needs professional diagnosis and treatment. 2. Do children get depression? Children are subject to the same factors that cause depression in adults. These factors are changes in physical health, life events, heredity, environment, and chemical disturbances in the brain. One amazing statistic is that it is estimated that 2.5 percent of children in the U.S. suffer from depression. Children who are depressed experience changes in their behavior that are disruptive to their normal lifestyles, thus causing trouble with relationships with friends, schoolwork, special interests, and family life. This may be misdiagnosed by ADD and OPED. 3. Can lack sleep cause depression? No. Lack of sleep alone cannot cause depression, but it can make the depression worse. The ongoing inability to sleep also is an important clue that someone may be depressed. 4. Are there any alternatives to the traditional treatments for depression? The definition of alternative methods is any treatment or technique that has not been scientifically documented or identified as safe or effective for a specific condition. Alternative therapy comes in many varieties. Included is everything from diet, exercise, mental conditioning, and lifestyle changes. Some of these have been effective for treating depression.Examples of alternative therapies include acupuncture, guided imagery, chiropractic, yoga, hypnosis, biofeedback, aromatherapy, relaxation, herbal remedies, light therapy, massage, and many others.

5. How can you determine if an illness is causing depression or depression is causing an illness? Illnesses that can lead to depression are major and chronic, there often is long-term pain or a sudden change of your way of life i.e. being able to take care of yourself. Depression causes illness differently. It can weaken the immune system limiting your body's ability to fight against colds, flu, and infection. This may cause an illness to last longer and intensify its symptoms. 6. I've heard lots of warnings about drug interactions with certain depression medicines. What are they? MAOIs, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors, are effective antidepressant medicines that have been used for years. Normally prescribed for people with severe depression, MAOIs improve mood by increasing the number of chemicals in the brain that passes messages between brain cells. MAOIs have been proven to work just as well as other antidepressant drugs, but they have more possible food and drug interactions, just follow your maoi guide. Medicines to avoid when taking MAOIs include Prozac and Paxil and certain pain medicines including Demerol. There also are some cough medicines and blood pressure medicines that must not be taken. Foods to avoid when taking MAOIs include aged cheeses and meats, avocado, pickled or smoked foods like sauerkraut or meat, and foods that include yeast extracts like beer and wine.
