Not had any alcohol since the day we lost at Anfield in 2014 and everyone thought we'd blown the league ;-)
It really is a terrible, terrible depressant.

It's chills out your central nervous system when you're on it...but as soon as you stop, you get the rebound effect. The central nervous system goes into overdrive. Awful feeling. Even just a few drinks at the weekend can have an effect.....so, some people will drink more to stop that. They don't even realise it.
 
Day from hell today
Couldn't get up at all
Not even for the match which I'm watching now on catch up half time now
Might go to A&E later.
Struggling terribly all kinds of suicidal ideation
Pray for me guys this is bad
I'll need to move in with a relative ASAP no point just hanging on waiting for things to improve at home alone it is not going to happen

I hope things have stabilised a bit for you PF.

It should be allowed for long term mental suffering. As I've said before it would be a immense relief if the option was always available. I wouldn't wish what I've been through on anyone, fucking anyone.
This is a uniquely awful time to be alive it feels like. I know many would scoff at that given what things were like 150 years ago etc.. but there seems to be a vast amount of mental dysfunction, social isolation and depression caused by how we now live that simply cannot be alleviated. We've got railway deaths daily pretty much and obviously that takes a terrible toll itself. Maybe we expect too much from life and aren't tough enough, I know that's how some see it but anyway here we are and it is what it is. I don't see it as a big deal if someone wishes to discontinue this state of being that they didn't ask for, cannot cope with and do not understand and cannot find a place in.

Long term mankind will all have some kind of mental illness, nature again trying to cull the humane race ?
I know this is no solice to you and i hope you find some kind of peace mate.

For some reason high temperatures lower my anxiety levels considerably.
Still undecided about what to do to be honest. As regards moving in with relatives etc

I’m pleased to hear that the weather is doing you a solid, at least. I know what you mean about deciding what to do. When my depression and anxiety are at their worst, I find it hard work to decide on anything, even really trivial things.
 
Just applied for a community mental health nurse.
I very much feel I need one.
Been a very tough weekend not helped by the fact that a gig I thought I had on Saturday night actually took place on Friday night.
I don't see myself getting out of this unless they give me electro convulsive therapy it really is that bad.
I'm on a high dose of Mirtazapine but it's not enough.
God this is purgatory it really is.

Hey PF, any luck sorting out the community mental health nurse?

Still waiting to hear back. Same old story.
Had a bloody horrible few days.
Would go and see GP but I barely have the energy.
Just using my exercise bike , trying to weaken some of the demons. Had long walk last night and Sunday night.

Thanks for asking, it means a lot.

Yeah, when things are rough I’m lucky enough to live somewhere where I can be on the coast within a 15 minute drive and walking helps me a lot. I hope you hear back about the community mental health nurse soon.
 
I'm trying to summon the strength to go to see my GP.
I have to do it. I don't know what I'm afraid of. Just the unknown perhaps.
Things are incredibly tough.
I'm doing long walks every night to try and shake the demons off but it's not enough.
I think I'm going to end up on antipsychotics because I do think I am sinking into psychotic depression, it's absolutely bloody terrifying.

i can't imagine what that is like i can't empathise but I can sympathise mate. The fact you are recognising your mental health is deteriorating is a good thing surely?

Are the doctors useless? Can they help you? Is there another form of help you can access like a help line?

Either way pal it needs sorting.
 
I really feel for you PF. It’s horrible. I’m in an anxiety spiral at the moment and I’m hardly sleeping and dreading the morning. It’s difficult to describe how awful it is. Being able to share it here helps a tiny bit. I’m lying in bed listening to random YouTube things because I just can’t sleep knowing I’ve got work in the morning and knowing I won’t sleep regardless.

I do look out for your posts PF, and I have huge empathy for your pain. Keep on posting if it helps.

After doing some research I've discovered , as I expected , that GPs don't normally prescribe antipsychotics in the first instance , it's usually done by a psychiatrist. So I'll have to go to the hospital (A&E) I did this in March at 1am and still wasn't seen after waiting ten hours. If I go tonight hopefully it won't be as rammed as it was in March but it's obviously ridiculous that I should have to jump through hoops like this.

I don't know if this is usual practice, but when my relation finally had an initial psychiatrist assessment a couple of weeks ago he was then given several leaflets about different meds available. For different conditions!! Was told to read through and choose. I kid you not.

We weren't expecting a diagnosis on a first assessment, but we didn't expect THAT either.

I truly hope today feels even a little lighter for you. Mental pain is no less real than physical pain—often even harder because it's invisible, and not everyone understands that. I’ve been in those dark places too, and during my worst moments, I found it helpful to reach out to someone who could offer real support. I often called Canada Pharmacy Partner —not just for medical advice, but for reassurance and guidance on how to move forward. Sometimes, just having someone on the other end who listens and understands can make all the difference
