Glad to hear you’re feeling good lately. They all have a “duty of care” so if you state or insinuate you will harm yourself they can do this. Try not to be paranoid if you think reaching out to the agencies will help, but if you give them cause for concern they will contact other services and it can be heavy-handed as you’ve found.
Have you had a reflections meeting about your birth trauma?
So sorry to read this. Is there no way you are able to leave the relationship? I hope you’re feeling better today. X
Shake your life up. You are 32, single with no dependents. So get out into the world and start living your life. Apply for jobs abroad - not jobs that are high paying “career” type jobs but just something to cover your living expenses. Go teach English to kids in China, go work on super yachts in St Tropez, go do a ski season in Canada. Whatever. Get out from your parents house, get out from the job you hate, see new places, meet new people, build new friendships and who knows maybe even start a new relationship? Start focusing on what’s infront of you - and start thinking about what could be, not what has been. If you think you need it then absolutely go to see your GP and get some immediate help that way but please know you are young and there is a whole entire exiting world out there for you to discover full of new people, places and life experiences.
I use to SH alot i have stopped and not needed to lately which is good. Please don't feel like a dick because YOU are not... you say you don't want to reach out you just have on here so that is a fabulous step so be proud of that. Maybe try talking to your gp or someone you can trust it may take the weight a little from your shoulders. Again this thread is fabulous here if you need to rant some more 🫂
yeah i have a partner, he’s trying to be supportive but it’s difficult for him to understand me being sad for no real reason! he keeps asking what’s up and that annoys me even more when i don’t actually know! he’s up for work between 4am & 6am most mornings and it’s a 45-60 minute drive to work for him so don’t want him driving to / from work with little or no sleep. he does get up during the night when he’s on later shifts, so that’s when i tried to take sleeping tablets but they literally did nothing!
Hey Polly..... so basically shit hit the fan with my son again with him hitting me was covered in brusies back was just as bad, luckily my tattoos hid alot.... again his dad was no help yet threatened him with driving down to take away his trainers away from him as school called him because he keeps taking them in... yet when he hits me it's fine.... there was other issues too... but for a while now i stopped eating and if I did eat I made myself sick yet was still pushing myself so much at the gym so while I was running I blacked out and feel of the treadmill so they called ambulance and hospital is where i stayed for about a while because I was refusing to eat.... had a infection but wouldn't let them put a iv in for antibiotics I was basically being a pain because I was at that breaking point.... I'm still refusing to take my antidepressants because I hate how they make me feel.
I took it before for a year and now I, back on it. 50mg
Yes at night only 15 mg at the minuteI took Mirtazapine for quite a while, and it really did help me with the panic side of things. It’s quite different to Citalopram though.
Are you taking the Mirt at night? What dose are you on?
Don’t give up on it yet
Ive tried ashwaghanda and it was helpful, I wouldn’t say life changing but it helped a bit. I don’t know if it was just placebo or not. It didn’t touch my first effective run on sertraline but no side effects as far as I remember. It has some interactions with other drugs I think. All this being said, I was a lot better on it than I am now on nothing at all!
I’m feeling ok today! I can leave but I would have to give up everything and I know that probably sounds ridiculous but I love my little flat I’ve put so much much into it it breaks my heart to lose it
I have got to a point where I am done with it and I have contacted the police but they are useless! I’m plodding on and I think I will eventually have to leave but I’m going to try everything else first! Thank you I hope you are having a good day today xxCould you think about volunteering when you feel better? Being around other people would help.
This reminds me of how things were for me before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditisHi allI haven’t posted for a while, hope everyone is okay!
Does anyone else have issues with sleeping too much? I literally can’t stop sleeping, I start my day late and go to bed late, I can sleep for 10-12 hours unless someone wakes me up. Sometimes I wake up at 1am and still have to drag myself out of bed. I’m off medication now but it used to make me agitated and I’d sleep very little. Any words of advice for me?
Thanks. I have been really paranoid today and jumping whenever the doorbell rang. I did email one of the services to explain that I’m fine and there’s probably been a mix so hopefully it’ll all be ok. I think I was just worried since I’ve never actually given my phone number to any mh services I’ve used and have never used any of the ones that contacted me.
If you’ve newly started taking it again after a break, it could well just be side effects as it settles down
