So has it made a difference?

Coming off them was hell for me. Electric shocks to the brain every time I moved my eyes and vertigo like a mother fucker.
This board is basically your therapist in a way so no wonder you felt worse when not posting here.
I think I have adult ADHD. Literally every fucking symptom. And that, gentlemen, is probably the real cause of my depression.
Beyond medication, though, it seems like you should look into some work with an occupational therapist or psychologist to help develop some strategies so that you can live a healthier life.
What an absolute idiot.
I built myself up for today, got really anxious and excited only to be told I had to be referred to the mental health clinic, which will be at least 3 months.
So now I'm devastated.
is there a way to get around the absurd wait time? why so long?
The benefits of 'free healthcare'. Wish I lived in the States.
Because the US have such great Mental Health treatment?
Yeah I could go buy a .357 from Adbul's and melt my brain rather than constantly have to worry about inconveniencing people by jumping off a bridge/running in to traffic/etc.
Fuck this I'm going for a private consultation. I want to get off these 'plaster' tablets and start treating the root. 3+ months? Eurgh.
Lol £300 for 45 mins. 3+ months it is.![]()
3+ months? I did not have to wait that long. Sheeeessh.
Six and a half weeks since I was seconds away from killing myself, troops. Life is crazy. The only way is up x
Wait, you what?
Please hand in your sesh gremlin badge at the desk.
Was smoking on a top floor flat out on the window ledge. Wasn’t even really paying attention and next thing I knew I was between the two windows. Looked down, thought ‘fuck it, I’m not wanting this anymore’. My mate shouted at me and that’s what stopped me. Couldn’t imagine what he’d go through if he’s the one to see me broon bread in the middle of the road.
Damn son. Heavy. Glad you're still here. X
Also got my referral through for December lol.
I've seen a post-suicide jumping body. Don't do it, it's not a pretty way to die.
You die at the end of life anyway. Why put the effort in when you're body's built to fail? Play for time, not for the early finish.
I deleted my posts. Not really the thread for such musings tbh.
Just got told my little brother (16) who I'm on holiday with just now is going to the doctors when he gets back because he thinking about taking his own life.
He's been difficult this week but tonight he really was a fanny and I felt like decking him.
Anyway I apologised (not sure for what) and he told me to fuck off etc. Glad I took that approach now. Basically wide awake on suicide watch FML.
That's now potentially 3 out of 7 kids on anti-Ds.
It's not you, it's Dundee.
Your little brother may look to at his bigger brother for guidance. He may want what you have. Regardless of pleasure or pain.
How come you are constantly on holidays? Do you work any more?
Probably not the right thead, but fuck it. I’m feeling anxious as fuck right now. My Sister in Law has just given birth to their second born and their 3 year old has - to put it really fucking lightly - not taken it well. Won’t sleep, punching, kicking etc. With our second born due any time now, and our daughter being of a similar age, I am pretty worried we have the same in store. I don’t think she’d be like it, but you never know.
On top of that I am about to hand in my notice to my employer of 5 years and start a new job after Paternity leave. I don’t actually know what that job will be, because I have another interview tomorrow and would prefer it to the job I have already accepted. I fucking hate uncertainty.
Not sleeping and my IBS is flaring up nicely. Might become an Alcoholic to deal with it all.
Paternity leave, what a foreign concept to us Americans
All business, all trips.
Spikey i'd imagine that's a worst case scenario that you won't endure. My cousin had 3 girls about the same length apart and they all managed very well apparently without too much fuss at all. If you land somewhere in the middle you'll be fine![]()
Magic I hope you're still following through on all of your appointments and things. You're an important person to many people, including us here![]()
@Magic have you kept up with your appointments and what not? Hope you're getting on well.
I can't decide whether this is genuine or whether you want me to die.
He's hoping to lure you to Florida so he can rape and then shoot you.
A Scotsman in Florida would melt before he touched tarmac.
Last time I went to Turkey there was a Scottish family there. They had a similar aged kid to ours, so we'd chat a bit and do our bit to keep the UK together. Vote No and all that.
Anyway, the husband was a ginger - the type of transparent skinned ginge that only Scotland has - and he spent every day in the pool in trousers, a long sleeved t-shirt and one of those hats that Noel Gallagher wears in the sunshiiiiine. Liberal amounts of factor 50 were applied, leaving a layer of oil on top of the kids pool.
Still burned. Blisters on the back of his neck and everything. Bless 'em.
I've seen this meme and am slightly worried cause lol 4 times in a lifetime?! Fuck off.
Day 6 of cold turkey from Prozac.
Initially the worst symptom was disgusting bloatedness and indigestion. Then chronic anxiety, which in turn resulted in chronic nausea. ]
Feel better now though, I'm sleeping better however I am constantly anxious. That is the one thing Prozac helped me with. I've read about Comorbitidy, and I think I've always had anxiety and ADHD combined.
Got another appt with the psychiatrist on the 24th of Jan where I hope I can get help. Until then I'll just have to manage. Thank FUCK I am not on Prozac anymore. I'm also well aware that I could dip again in terms of withdrawal.
Why did you come off it?
I tried coming off my sertraline a couple of months ago. I thought it was going okay as I tapered off it but then a week or two into having none, I was an anxious mess again. I could see that the constant rumination from that would lead right back to depression. So I got back on them again. Fuck dealing with that.
