I haven't posted in some time and things are getting better but I am just very frustrated with how things are going better. I stopped taking anxiety and depression medication and started doing a regimen of binaural beats, mainly holosync and a few others to help heal my mind and body, maybe even my spirit some if you want to go into it. It sometimes feels like a lot, and would just like an answer or explanation for it. Things started going downhill when I started going on a paleo/primal diet, and ive been on it for close to a year, around the same time, I just started acting or being different.
Eventually I was on depression and anxiety medication, but quit it since I think I am doing fine. Some things havent changed at all though and it seems however much I improve, in some areas things get worse. I am fatigued at times, and I am not able to think clearly, theres also weird sensations, and sometimes headaches I get as well. My jaw has been hurting some too but not as much, its mainly on my right side, it clicks and cracks from time to time, I think it might be TMJ or time to have my wisdom teeth removed. Thing is I dont have money or health insurance to do either.
I haven't quite told anyone but its like as soon as Im at work im stressed/anxious and im constantly aware, maybe even paranoid of others around me. Like looking around or out of the corner of my eye. When I was really young I had autistic tendencies, and ive been shy but ive been working on it hard.
I know its not good to think about it and feed into it but I know I dont have best reputation at work and I think some people think im a bit crazy lol. I never used to be like this, though I have lost a lot of weight, I went from 290 to 260 then im about 240-250 now. Im working on getting out of my job since it drives me nuts and feels like a dead end but I think it has a lot to do with it. Especially when in the past when I was extremely fatigued and my bosses/coworkers would ask me why im working so slow but idk what exactly to tell them.
I even went home early one day when I told them I was having some troubles and told them about me being fatigued and other symptoms I have, like almost passing out and told me to tell him but whats that going to change, im just going to go home and its still going to be there? Sometimes my coworkers and my bosses, they just drive me nuts, they can be big douchebags/assholes at times...
Im still concerned about things and just would like to know if its just all in my head, am I going crazy or what? It feels sometimes like theres no way out.
I try to open up to some people about it but they just keep saying the same thing or similar things and it drives me so nuts.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I know this is not what you want to hear but you should go back to your medications. However before you do that you must have proper counseling and a reassessment of your case. There is nothing wrong in trying to go off medication. However this has to be done in graded fashion where slowly the medicines are decreased once psychotherapy, meditation, yoga and other holistic treatments start showing results. Abruptly stopping anti-depressants will have a bad effect. Hope this helps. Take care!
