Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Kavy, do you really think this is being helpful? Yes, there can be negatives to SSRI's but I think you make it sound as if it's going to ruin the lives of anyone who uses them. That is clearly not the case. I understand that they have affected you in a very negative way but give people a chance to decide for themselves. Everyone on this board is making suggestions whereas what I see coming from you is very negative. And I'm sorry but it does bother me. > > > > > > > I am prepared to try an antidepressant, but, one with a slight > > > sedative, > > > > as all the SSRI's I've tried have increased my anxiety.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi!"ps. I've read some interesting stuff recently about disgust being an autonomous reaction. "This sounds interesting - do you have any link you can share?Take care!/MajaTo: ACT_for_the_Public From: keith.lovett@...Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:59:03 +0000Subject: RE:+ +Re:+Anyone+There? Thanx for your compassionate replies. I struggle with self-loathing, and when I'm down I conjure up all kinds of 'unreal' justifications for it. When I feel better, I see things from a more positive but equally distorted and fragile perspective. When I'm able to be mindful, I feel 'myself', but I'm finding it very hard at the moment. I've even stopped my yoga practice, which I love. I am prepared to try an antidepressant, but, one with a slight sedative, as all the SSRI's I've tried have increased my anxiety. I know I want the sedative to numb my mind a little, but it may help my concentration - so I have to weigh up the pros and cons carefully. What I really don't want are mood stabilisers or anti-psychotics. As I'm an addict, the local secondary mental health team have not been much help. ACT has been a life-saver, however, and I am committed. ps. I've read some interesting stuff recently about disgust being an autonomous reaction.
