Sorry - the title is so ‘woe is me’ isn’t it!

Thank you everyone - I know I totally over share on here, but I’m unabashed and unashamed. I’ve been really struggling for a while, but events that took place over the weekend made me see how I really did need help. I had my head in the sand for a longgggggg time, it’s only a small step (reached out to Papyrus via the NHS website) but it’s a step nonetheless! Think I’ll contact my GP tomorrow, but the doctor I like and feel comfortable chatting to usually only works a Monday.

Well done OP. I have battled with mental illness most my life. I have gone on a downer lately and also considered reaching out to my GP. I have been ok the past 3 years but the recent events have triggered me again and I am really struggling. I cannot sing praises enough for Sophie.720, who has let me stay with her throughout this, I even went home for 4 days and ended up coming back because I couldn't cope.

It is a massive thing to realise you need help but the only way is up from here.

Oh, and it is better to overshare than not share at all.

Hugs

I had a 18 year old girl who knows I have chewing gum on me start stopping by for chats at work while I'm trying to do security.

I find out she's got issues and been thinking of topping herself .

I told her to call a help line and chat to someone asap plus I told her a few home truths about drugs and borrowing lads who are useless money while she works at Tesco's and is a student .

Kinda makes you feel good about that

Hi OP

Some advice from someone that’s been going through it a long time (since I was 14)

Please reach out to the NHS I’ve never found anything else to be helpful. Samaritans, private counsellors, other helplines etc..

When they prescribe you medication, don’t be worried about saying it doesn’t work/has a negative effect. It’s normal and there are tons of different medications available now and it’s normal to swap to different ones. They tend to go across a base line of medications, then a bunch for severe depression and even then they can increase to two medications (either both for depression, or one for depression and one as an anti psychotic, the psychotic is to chill your brain from overthinking)

In regards to mental help you will have to push quite hard to ‘progress’ through the system. They will most likely offer CBT first which CAN be really good for a lot of people but isn’t for everyone, then they will try counselling/group work etc..

Def try these also, but if you feel it still doesn’t help you really need to push for a psychologist Or psychiatrist appointment with your GP.

The problem with mental help on the NHS is that there’s a huge waiting list across the country generally for all services. So it’s best to request early (you may have to ‘lay it on thick’ for a while to get your gp to refer you)

Also, if your local NHS has a crisis team definitely use them if/when you need it. Whilst it’s generally for people at high risk of suicide/self harm they do have access to help a lot quicker but on shorter time scales.

(For example, with my most recent time with them, I seen their normal counsellors, mostly different ones every time I went, for a few months, then seen their main counsellor for quite a few sessions and then their psychologist for 10 sessions. They then had a different department arrange a psychiatrist appointment. Through my gp it was a 2 year waiting list, through them the psychiatrist was 4/5 weeks)

Lastly, don’t be afraid to request the doctor you like specifically.

Good luck with everything!!

You've done the right thing , good for you , I read the doctor you like to talk to isn't available till next Monday, maybe have a talk to the receptionist and see if there is aNother Doctor Who specialises at all in mental health ,,, could be worth it, my inbox is always open if you want to chat about anything or any thoughts or any advice, this is majorly close to me so I know what you're going through Xxx

Wow Queenie,it might feel like a small step but is actually a real big deal.

Acknowledging you have issues that need addressing is scary and asking for help takes courage OP.

You've done a brave thing, and you know it's the right thing, which is why you are feeling a lil bit better already.

People do care about you as you can see from the posts above, even if it sometimes feels like they don't.

I'm rooting for you Queen, and for what it's worth here's a big hug of support from a random ald woman on a fcuk site.

Hi, well done, you've taken the first step to getting better. Depression can't always be beaten but it can be managed. I hope you get the tools to do this. Don't worry if you get setbacks, you'll have good days and bad days. Accept them both and don't feel guilty about feeling down. It's not your fault. People may struggle to understand and wonder how you can be unhappy on holiday, at birthdays etc. They may also show a lack of understanding at how you can seem to be getting better and then suddenly feel worse than ever. It's not their fault, they haven't experienced it and will never understand. Don't take it to heart. You are trying your best and it is OK to be depressed and nothing to be ashamed of. You probably already know all this but, if not, I hope it helps.

Hey everyone!!!!

Thank you for all the lovely messages (and not so lovely ones, but I was expecting that so ah well).

Had a better day today - haven’t lost my cool, cried, got *too* annoyed etc and I’ve asked hubby for help if I needed it (which I point blank refused to do beforehand, despite him being desperate to help me).

Went for a walk with baba in the sunshine, we’ve had frozen yoghurt and chilled.

I’ve taken my medication, had a lie down, fucked around on fab (people keep moaning that IM ALWAYS ONLINE, well guess what...it takes about 30 seconds for me to pick up my phone and click ‘forums’ and reply to a post. So Soz, not neglecting my kid) and just in general been happy

So I’m pretty darn proud of myself. Yeah it’s only been a day but I’m trying my hardest. X

So I’m pretty darn proud of myself. Yeah it’s only been a day but I’m trying my hardest. X

Good mood didn’t last long.

I’ll try again tomorrow!

If this is because of your thread that got pulled, it might help you to reflect on why it's affected your mood in this way "

Nope, the thread I asked to be removed has nothing to do with my mood. It didn’t upset me.

But thanks for the kind advice as always

Stop beating yourself up and welcome to the Misery Club.

Depression, like diabetes, sits there in the corner waiting for you to turn around and confront it

Anxiety is like toothache, I need help NOW: NO I can't wait! Not next week/month etc. Put your foot down.

Without the correct assessment and treatment the future becomes very bleak indeed.

It's a long slow journey, so little steps and little victories, are you next goal.

You need to find out if you are Primary (GP care) or Secondary (Hospital and stay in). This is the English system. Is Scotland different?

MIND, the mental health charity has a whole list of tablets, on their site, that tell you when they were made, (Newer is better), as mental health medication is still lagging behind, physical health.

Be prepared for frustrating times: brain fog, long term IBS, reduced or even no orgasms, emotional rollercoasters and worst of all other peoples' ignorance.

When you get offered tablets, you will be offered the first course for three months. This is to see how your body will adapt to the meds long term.

You need to accept the fact, that you will have to swap one set of symptoms for another, especially when coming off them. Keep badgering, until you get the right treatment. Talking therapies helped me too. You will get told to wait and see, time and time again.

I had problems sleeping and sleeping tablets weren't the answer, but muscle relaxants really helped and I could wake up without too much effort.

So keep trying and update if you can. Somebody might read this and also find the courage to get help.

Good luck.

"Never had depression, don’t understand it but I really hope you hit it head on and defeat it, it’s not that bad a world out here.

Covid has made me realise that some people don’t get the privilege of growing old...let’s embrace it!!!! "

You are lucky not top know how it feels. How does it feel?

Ever been, bereaved, burgled, dumped, hungover, mugged, sacked, tired you could collapse or even felt so guilty about something real or perceived? If not, then you are in the minority. Now imagine this going on for months, years or even decades. Visit MIND's website and read up on it.

You’re so wrong. So many people care. So many people feeL the same. Even on a site where we lust the physical and the intimate, there will be many that will care about another person’s fragile soul and wellbeing. YOU ARE NEVER EVER ALONE

Everyone needs a bump

So bump away

Progress updates are always good.

Not knowing you at all O.P. just going on knowledge gained from a friend of mine who was in a similar situation. Is there any possibility that it could be extended P.N.D? My friend suffered for many years and had to change doctors many times before finding one who took her seriously and actually did something! Happy pills (as she called them) helped a bit to even things out, however had the side effect of also switching off her libido! You'll have to decide if the trade off is worth it? Good luck O.P. don't despair, there's light at the end of the tunnel?

I’m glad you always feel great, not all of us have that luxury ...

Of course you do. You make the choices in life whether there good or bad.

Yeah, it is PND, with an added measure of normal depression thrown in. I’m on antidepressants already, thankfully my GP is really good and she’s referred me to the mental health team. And I have a super low sex drive anyway due to medication years ago, so it doesn’t affect me! If anything, being this tiny bit happier has helped my sex drive.

And thank you

Pleased to help. You're not alone! Although I know it often feels like that?

Best of luck going forward and keep nagging your doctor! A lot of them are very inexperienced iñ this area so you may need to make a bit of a nuisance of yourself to get referred to a specialist?

Maybe you should realise that depression is real, and just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it's not real. Making someone feel like it is their fault they are depressed is damaging and cruel.

Depression is not a choice

Thats why im asking if anyones been in an asylum?. Surely people understand my question & also understand where im going with it. Its a 2 road answer & you decide which road yo go down.. i have been in an asylum & wont say why.

Im surrounded by mental health I suffer myself. Im very aware of it too. It was be amazing to be normal but ive found out through vast experience those who think they dont have anything wrong with there are worse then those who suffer.

If its a chemical imbalance its not a choice its its life situations its not a choice. Anyone who suffers MH do not want to be in that situation. Reading some of your comments (JR)I felt like I was in the Twilight zone .

MH is very real and its a huge percentage of us suffer from it. Maybe more compassion and understanding is needed here.
