General / Mental Health Support Thread

Started on getting the rubbish out of the house , most of it is recyling so i threw it out of the window towards the outside cupboard as i knew i would probably fall over if i had to take it through the door. Managed to fill the cupboard up and out of the kitchen , it is a start. I am in so much pain now

Found some damp on two walls behind the rubbish stuff , will just take off the wallpaper on another day

Cuddled up with merlin now and rattling with tablets !
 
Stay warm Kaz if you can it’s so important for your well being, before the election labour were saying the emphasis has been on preventing diseases and not enough research into curing disease
let’s hope some of the NHS budget will see more being spent on long term health problems mental or general.

The temperature up here has risen 5c :) but still freezing during the night, remember you can still call the doctor out if your poorly
I looked on line and several adverts for British Gas new boiler, no deposit, 0% interest free credit over three years
The central heating grant for over 60's is part of a government back scheme called the Energy Companies Obligation or more commonly known as ECO. In some cases the scheme can cover the full cost of the work carried out and it does not have to be paid back its worth checking them all out.

I have decided to wean myself off duloxetine as it’s nigh on impossible to climax.

I have said too much.

Those years just felt right. Like they should. Maybe it's just a generational thing.

I compare them to the 60s for my mum and dad’s era, I was in my 20s happily married (the first one!) living in Germany for most of the 90s, great music, brilliant social life, playing shit loads of football, enjoyed my job the whole of the 90s just seemed to be a laugh, apart from City been shit that is. Everybody seemed happy with life, maybe it’s rise tinted glasses but it just seemed right.

Thanks lovely , i need a new energy rating before i can access the grants so waiting for an assessor to come and do that . Will be selling my car end of the month so will have money for a boiler that way , a big wrench to sell it and hope i get a grant in place , if not i have a quote for £1,700 0% over three years , installed in days. So options , will hopefully be warm soon !

Thank you! I am aware it’s notorious for being difficult to get off. I joined a FB support group to help me with this.

I am a mental health nurse in the NHS, also have lived experience of being on Duloxetine for many years. Always here for anybody who suffers with their MH as I believe that’s the best way of dealing with it is to support each other. Good luck

Good luck Kaz, I had chest pains and really struggling to breathe on Tues last week. Went to pharmacy who advised I call 111. They sent paramedics who took me to A&E to check for clot on lung. Got all clear re heart and lung but turns out got pneumonia so got antibiotics and told to rest

I don't think you're alone in that.

I see some younger people who have their head screwed on who have a desire for authenticity and media that feels more homely to them. Hence they look back instead of forward, which just seems to be more of the same. Love island, radio 1, rinse, repeat.

Not that it doesn't come with negatives. Nostalgia and dreams of the past can lead to giving up on the present, like I have. So you just get culturally pushed to the side.
