General / Mental Health Support Thread

Went to the walk in again
Chatting for almost an hour
I had to go, it was either that or headbutt the wall
This illness is relentless and utterly merciless
I'll probably ring the "emergency" number the local NHS mental health dept has, tomorrow, or if I'm feeling calmer , Monday
I have gigs Friday and Saturday night and I'm planning to go to the cinema on Sunday so at least I've got distractions , aswell as the Tottenham game
 
Saying the quiet part out loud

I think I'm making peace with the idea of not being here
My existence is just agony. There are obstacles I've not mentioned on here that just make everything harder. There's just so many hoops to jump through. Every day.
If they refuse electro convulsive therapy I do not know what I'll do. I'm going to see my GP again and also ring the "emergency" telephone number. I'm scared of possibly being sectioned under the mental act but I've got to face this whether I want to or not.

I'm on a high dose of medication. going to the gym etc but it's not enough.

I have not previously posted in this thread. However, I do regularly read your posts to view your situation, hoping to see things are improving. There are others that possibly do similar.

Keep the focus and remain active as you are doing in going to the gym.

Plus - keep posting on here.

If you get desperate PF go to AE in the early morning if you want to avoid long waits from about 6am to 10am Sunday mornings are the best.
Avoid Mondays because they are really busy although I know Monday is one of your worst days.

Don’t forget to ring the Samaritans. Call 116123 you just talk to someone when your desperate and they listen it’s anonymous like Bluemoon is, you have come so far and done all the right things give it all another go good luck:)

Referral: for ECT treatment doesn’t come from the doctor it must come from your consultant psychiatrist if you have one PF, I looked it up for you and it’s still done but only in the most severe cases. take care :)

Just seen you noticed my massively fascinating post about Thomas Telford & his Menai bridge, be glad to put up stuff about the steam locos of East Lancashire or old forges of the Lake District if you fancy it, either way as others have said keep reading & posting and don't go away.
 
Just finished this, 31 minutes activity for 31 days in January. Some days a proper struggle due to weather, my anxiety, being busy and personal stuff. Got it done. My mother in law passed away on 2nd January, we've also had to clear out father in law's flat as he's gone into care home. My own anxiety through roof, supposed to go hug Tuesday night and thinking of every reason why not to go

Well done OB, a brilliant achievement.
 
Gonna go for a long walk
I just want to scream
I just want to cry
But nothing ever comes
It's indescribably horrible
The fear in my head is just unbearable

I remember you were very stressed over your FIL having falls ob but you managed to persuade him to go in the same care home with his wife who had dementia.

You’ve had a torrid time sorting out her affairs and now his flat it’s not easy contacting all the relevant departments they don’t make it easy on you when selling property or sadly dealing with her death. You’ve had so much to get through hope your wife is okay it’s her parents you’ve done your best for.

Happy birthday today Kaz7 two birthdays your very lucky to be here after sepsis but glad your celebrating you deserve to treat yourself, sending best wishes for both of the birthdays. .:)
 
Went for a long walk around two hours.
Was also picking litter , several bags of it , was absolutely wringing with sweat.
I expected this to flatten the demons for a few hours but no they were back not long after I got home.
I actually in my mind have got a plan . I'm going to see my GP and actually get on my knees and fucking beg because trust me I am that desperate.

Writing on here really helps me.
 
Dear Pink get in the drs queue at 8am . Hope they listen to you and appreciate the seriousness of your mental health situation. Ps have you been referred for any counselling it might help . Hope today is a better day .
