The EADD Mental Health Support Thread

I'm crazy have been for years never been shy about admitting it on here either

Given recent postings & behaviour i woulda thought that other folk may have noticed not all is right .


Thanks to the 1 person that asked if anything was wrong .

I had my meeting with the Mental health intervention team, it was okay, but as if often the case with these things, when I came out I thought of lots of things I forgot to tell them. They had a conference about me on Tuesday after my assessment, and will write to me to tell me what form of support they think is best for me.

I'm feeling really really low at the moment, lost all motivation and am struggling to cope with things that I have going on, like eviction that i'm up in court for next week, I just about managed to get myself to see my lawyer today. Being skint does not help. I've not had a benefit payment in nearly a month, was supposed to be paid today but due to a human error it didn't go through, chased it up and was told i'd get a call back, no call back. They don't seem to have any sense of urgency when it comes to sorting this stuff out, it's only my life they're adding stress too!
 
<3 Brimz, sorry things have been tough :( I've had a pretty bad spell lately too and I tend to isolate myself and stop talking to anyone really, it's much easier for me to post on a forum when I am like that than it is for me to speak to people 1 on 1..

<3 Cherry too. Money worries really don't help, especially when you're already struggling :(

I know I say this a lot, and somehow it never happens, but the 3 of us must get together soon!

Yeah same as mate, I'm not big on PMs, which says more about me than anything else and I'm always cautious of prying into other peoples lives.

I can barely manage to maintain acquaintances IRL.

Hope things pick up for you matey, anyways what more could you ask for 2 classy ladies offering to pop round for a social....just don't ask Effie to do any ironing, it's not her bag ...apparently, and after i made such a generous offer as well ;)

Mate I've noticed you've been absent for a wee while and you've been missed. Hope things are getting better for you. <3

Yeah, I find that SSRIs at least help prevent the lows from becoming too low and long lasting, or lower than they would have been otherwise. There's still ups and downs but they somehow seem to help prevent that 'bottom fallen out of the world' feeling.

Aye, I wasn't fond of the sort of muted feeling SSRIs give when I was on them but now I'm off them I fucking miss them more than anything. Really feel like I'm losing it at the moment, only came off them because my organisational skills are non existent and I never sorted a doctor when I moved away so getting them became a chore. Ruining me a bit and I'm swinging from really high to really fucking low. Hoping I can hold it together enough to get the semester sorted then sort my fucking head over summer. Lass I've been seeing has a shit load of Citalopram she doesn't need any more, same dosage as I was on, but I don't think going through the awful zombified first few weeks of being on them would be good right now with exams coming up, nor would running out and having to go through withdrawals again.

So it goes.
 
More than a bit off topic snolly but was the "so it goes" a reference to Slaughterhouse 5, just finished it and its a phrase repeated over and over in the book so it's kinda stuck in my head. It represents the main characters total acceptance of each situation he finds himself in as he knows that it isn't something he has any control over since he non longer experiences time in a linear fashion.

SSRIs don't agree with me as I've said a few times before Citalopram was the first I ever tried and really feked me over, hallucinations the lot including making my suicidal ideation much worse.

But I know what you mean i get the same compressed emotion from Venlafaxine and its really helped getting myself together, I don;t know how low the lows are for you, but from my experience don;t leave it if you feel really bad, you've been around long enough to know if its getting beyond your control.

Best Wishes

While it may not be much help. Always remember that like many things, societies view or definition of 'crazy' is much different to mine and many other members.

Much love and keep positive Brimz <3

Same with you all. Makes me feel lucky in a sense, but also guilty that we all can't be the same.

Aye, girlthing with the cache of Citalopram doesn't take it any more due to the same side effects you mentioned. Never got the same myself but it always KOs me for a few weeks every time I start a course of it.

Got Slaughterhouse Five but have yet to get around to reading it, seems like it's something I should take to heart in a way as I tend to want to micromanage stuff to an impossible degree, although I obviously need to exercise as much control over my situation as I can right now. Only ever read one other Vonnegut book, that being Cats Cradle. Had this kinda feeling to it that I've got right now. Seeing as we're on a literary kinda topic, my go-to has always been McWatt's 'Oh well, what the hell' from Catch 22. Same sentiment I suppose, but slightly less maudlin sounding. Books <3

But yeah, right now the lows are very low and you're right, got to get it under control as quickly as I can lest things spiral beyond retrieval.

Thanks man :)

and lol @ Albion
