"Just wanted to give a kind word and share where I'm at. I ain't been "me" for a bit now. Been trying to ignore it to no avail. Found myself having no motivation to do anything really. Recently I've been noticing the physical signs. Clenched jaw, chattering teeth (that I only notice coz I hear them), sleeping to pass time, insomnia when I need to sleep, all that kinda shizzle. Sunday was a bad un, I lashed out at work (at a toilet roll of all things), having suicidal thoughts (not that I believe I'd act on them) but they've been happening regularly over "silly" stuff. So, I'm back at the docs Tuesday after being off meds for 5 years. I'm a stubborn cunt, and if I can admit I need help and recognise the signs I hope it brings some comfort to you all that everyone faces their own challenges, and it's ok to ask for help. Much love. " Takes strength and courage to admit we need help, even more so to actually accept..there is power in that, and not doing alone. So fair play to you Op...from what I know your much loved on the forums, so take the strength and support where you can | |||

I may take a few weeks off but I really really don't wanna go back down the hole. | |||

I may take a few weeks off but I really really don't wanna go back down the hole." I get that. I had a bad start to 2021, and then took 6 months off travelling and moving home. And the last year I couldn't hold a job down, previously had worked for 20 years, but just wasn't working. Finally decided that maybe taking the time to focus on addressing what's up was worth it for a month or two. Then get back to work. It's such a personal thing though as well I guess. What works for 1 won't always work for someone else. Really hope the doc can help you! | |||

" The times are tough right now so that doesn't help. But you're a good example for us all in talking and sharing your troubles. And being stubborn can be a good thing honey. Lol. x" It really doesn't. Having to watch every penny and go to a place 5 days a week that's probably doing me more harm in the headspace than good in the wallet is a sign of the times | |||

"Thought I'd give you a wee update. Spoke to the doc, back on citalopram, been for blood tests. Got smear, weight n cholesterol check next week. Signed off for 2 with intention of reviewing, so not to go back unless I feel up to it. Docs surgery called to say the doc needs to discuss my blood results and the appointment is the 9th. I'm working on the presumption that if it was anything serious or urgent I'd be seen sooner, so chances are I'm vitamin deficient like last time. Thank you all for your well wishes and concern. It means tons " Take care x | |||

"AHH blessings upon you and your strength for your honesty and openness. It's hard admitted you need help particularly after being off the Meds for so long,but it sounds like you are sensible enough to put pride to one side and go to the GP. I have been off the medication for a few years now and some days I think I'm better off without then I'll have an episode which we know isn't something that is a quick deal. An episode is something that builds up. I applaud your strength and power to get help. Well done and I wish you well and sending a big ol'virtual hug even if you are not a huggy person we all need some arms around us from time to time to make us feel safe and sound xx" I feel like if I was hugged at the moment I'd just dissolve into a pool of tears. | |||

Have you got anyone who can come round and hug you anyway? Tears can be a wonderful release. | |||

"Update: Had nurse today for smear & weight check. I was under the impression they were doing cholesterol too but that had already been done with my blood test last week. I knew I had something in my bloodwork that was off kilter coz I've got an appointment with the doc next week to discuss the results. Well the nurse let slip that I've got a big vitamin b12 deficiency combined with high cholesterol. I've since learned that low b12 can literally knock you off your feet, causes irritability (got it) vision problems (been saying for a good year my eyes are getting terrible) all sorts of other goodies, including major fatigue. Been spending my days off in bed coz I'm pure exhausted. Memory loss too, I ain't been going mad all this time. There's an actual reason I've been asking myself "what the fuck was I doing?" I was thinking it was just me getting old but I ain't fucking there yet! And.....depression! Yep, it all makes perfect sense. So, docs next week to discuss things and see if there's an underlying cause and get an action plan together." Not sure how I missed this tread originally. So glad you're getting a diagnosis. Please do keep us all updated. Remember you have a lot of friends on these forums. XX | |||

I have 10 weekly injections and by week 8 can definitely feel I need the next one. Good luck | |||
