life is still a struggle but I keep pushing | stomach issues, blood test results and appointments

[@Notguilty1]

EVERY day is a battle for us and often times I feel as if I can’t take it anymore. My counselor’s and drugs have really helped. Listening to you and others with depression helps me get through the war going on in my head. With depression, anxiety, ADHD, dyslexia and stuttering I need all the help I can get. Ha! Just hang in there brother!

It's always so hard to explain the struggle you fight daily because you look fine to people but on the inside it's a war with your mind your doing what you can to find your own happy mindset so keep up the good work really isn't easy but each day is a victory

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

That’s so true, each day we get through is a big win 👊🏻

[@robwembley]

You are getting better. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Celebrate the wins !

[@karineaw4425]

Matazipine can't help anxiety and panic .I have been on it 8 years now on it also can't sleep with this shit

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

Cheers mate, I appreciate it :)

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

Hi, i didn’t end up getting prescribed olanzapine because the psychiatrist decided against it Personally I feel less anxious and less numb since taking mirtazapine. I’m sorry it isn’t working for you :(

[@karineaw4425]

Thankyou sharing ur experience I also can't eat even increase the does of matazipine keep on vomitting

[@j-uk2189]

Take berberine or metformin for your stomach issues buddy! 👍🏼 it helped me when I was on mirtazapine!

Hello,thought that olenzapine will gain weight but u seem slim

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

The psychiatrist didn’t end up prescribing me olanzapine. However I’m still taking 30mg of Mirtazapine which helps me eat, I still struggle with eating enough due to stomach issues. I used to hover around 110lbs at 6ft tall and now I’m 120lbs so I’m still underweight unfortunately.

Do you reccomend i stop the caffeine?

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

That’s a difficult one. Quitting sugar and caffeine is what contributed to me developing dpdr due to the withdrawals. Some people find caffeine helps them feel better (I used to be one of those people until I wasn’t) then as you know others find it triggering for their anxiety.

[@modatgarage5657]

Are you taking the venlafaxine? I knew you got it but you always said you weren’t taking it.

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

Ah sorry I don’t think I explained very well in the video, I haven’t taken Venlafaxine yet thankfully.

[@MartC751]

Are you still taken mirtazapine?

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

Yeah 30mg :)

[@Netto20XX]

how low was your WBC?

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

It was around 3 (normal range is 4-11) so it’s not super bad.

[@Netto20XX]

@@rhysmentalhealth2521 Thanks for sharing. I've been tracking mine since 2018 and they're always low, averaging a 3.5. I've asked around and found others have them low too. Though not critical, I find it highly interesting. Almost like something is gnawing at our defenses.

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

@@Netto20XX that is super intriguing, I’ve looked through my past results my WBC varies between 4-6 with the most recent result being the only time it’s been low. I’ll keep an eye on it, it’s a pity there’s no way to find out what’s causing it. Thank you for sharing too :)

[@hawkroy3106]

could have abit of anemia

[@rhysmentalhealth2521]

Yeah my ferritin is always just outside the low end of normal (which I know can cause symptoms) but my haemoglobin is always fine. It’s just weird that the symptoms come and go.
