Hi OP. How are you doing?

Bit of an existential crisis going on here this evening, having had my parents thrust LPAs at me today, which I then was asked to sign to be an Attorney, and organise witnesses for their Wills.

A very sobering prospect and makes one ponder the imponderable.

Terrible. Agoraphobic which I don't really understand since I'm fine with going to work. Most of the time I can't physically leave the house, I get to door but can not open it. Trying and failing makes me feel worse about it and makes it harder. All I get told is to go see someone about it. Great advice

Thank you. I've experienced more feelings on antidepressants than off, but I was so severely depressed that... The short version is that I was told I'd be dead in a ditch by 25, and my parents nearly lost custody of me. That kind of bad.

Life is a lot better than it was then, though, so, who knows.

Also, this year marks my 40th ride round the sun, and I've laughed at that psychiatrist every birthday since 25.

It's healing but not there yet and I'm feeling stifled and quite isolated not being able to jump in a car and go where I want.

"

This year started badly and I'm still recovering haha. I'll be alright it is just taking it's time. I sustained a nasty injury back in February and I still cannot drive due to some muscles not working correctly in my shoulder and arm.

It's healing but not there yet and I'm feeling stifled and quite isolated not being able to jump in a car and go where I want.

Public transport isn't always an option and it's a ballache in general. "

"Hi OP. How are you doing?

Bit of an existential crisis going on here this evening, having had my parents thrust LPAs at me today, which I then was asked to sign to be an Attorney, and organise witnesses for their Wills.

A very sobering prospect and makes one ponder the imponderable."

Very sobering isn't it? When my dad was in hospital he sent me his password to the laptop so I'd know where to find all the important documents 🥹

I totally understand why its hard as man to get a reply,I see the messages and abuse my wife gets.....its ridiculous.

But its so hard when your partner gets lots of attention and you get non.

Its such a feeling of being unattractive or not desired.

The forum is fun though.

You should be able to access virtual help, talking therapies will offer video calls.

A couple of months ago I was not good, not in a very good place, lost and very low. Right now I'm so much better and feeling bloody good. It took a good friend to do something incredible for me which made me see hope again. I'm working on myself, pouring into my cup, changed my lifestyle completely and my mindset is on a good level. I'm grateful every day I wake up and feel good as I know how life can tip you upside down at any time

So close to being off these meds. So close. And the only trade off I'm noticing at the moment is a little withdrawal if I'm not vigilant.

Hi Pickle. Firstly I hope you are ok or at coping. I've had depression all my life, but these past few years have been pretty horrendous. Getting help from CMHT and trying to find the right combination of medication for me. Some days are more of a struggle than others, but thinking of my kids keeps me going. I've come out of this dark place before and will do again. Just got to hang in there.

My good days are starting to outweigh the bad. But the bad days really hit hard still. A bit of a wobble at the moment, trying to remind myself that I deserve to be happy and the difficult decisions I made over the last few years to find that happiness are worth it.

For anyone who needs to hear it - spite is a valid reason to live. I've had a number of near misses over my life.

Sometimes the only thing that's kept me going is "you think I can't make it. Fuck you".

There are better ways to get through, but getting through is better than not getting through.

I was going to DM but can't. It's a hard slog, like another member it was good to actually feel things after being on these for so long, the withdrawal can be a bit scary at times, really hope you'll feel like you don't need them. And I will harp on about this forever.... But get your bloods done and see if you have any deficiencies. Good supplements have worked really well for me x

Thank you. I've had a long exploration of why things are the way they are. Ultimately, childhood stuff etc. (Was diagnosed with thyroid issues as a teenager - it's not that)

At the moment it's the technical challenge of coming off the meds without sending myself spinning with brain zaps 😅

I also suggested this on another thread recently. Often there are other local groups, I think Men Shed is one? We have various groups in Portsmouth, also some that are veteran focused.
