I've got a bit of a sensitive issue and not sure how to handle it. Lately, I've been having these intrusive thoughts about my mom, and it's really distressing me. I find myself feeling aroused in the evenings and imagining things I definitely shouldn't be about her. I'm worried if this is normal or if theres something wrong with me. It's really confusing and I just want to understand why this is happening and how I can stop these thoughts. Could you help me make sense of this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I've been taking Depran 10 for about 14 years now, since I was first diagnosed with depression in 2002. Lately, I feel like it's not working as well as it used to. My doctor suggested adding Tryptomer 5 to my routine. I'm worried about whether that's safe and if there might be any side effects, especially when it comes to my sexual health. Could you give me some advice on this?

Question

I've had an overdose of sleeping pills a couple of days ago because of some personal issues. This isn't the first timeI've been hospitalized for this before. For the last two days, I haven't eaten anything. When I woke up today, I checked my sugar level, and it's below 60, with my blood pressure at 13090. Can you suggest any home remedies for my situation?

Question

I'm feeling extremely worried and tense since April, and it's affecting my breathing. I checked with my GP, did all the tests like thyroid, sugar, hemoglobin, and CBCthey're all normal. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia. I'm on a tapering dose of Metxl 12.5 once a week after consulting with my GP. However, I'm still experiencing these anxious episodes where my pulse suddenly shoots up, and I feel hot, sweaty, and shaky. Sometimes, there's a headache, and I can even feel my pulse in my head. My heart races, and I get left arm and shoulder pain, along with nausea and loss of appetite. I rarely feel any chest pain, possibly due to anxiety, but it's mild. I've tried to calm myself, but this seems to have become a constant part of my health. Should I get another heart check-up because I did an ECG in June, or is this just anxiety? I'm really confused about what to do next.
