Depression

[kaz7]

Since 2004!! I was chronic alcoholic and I believe they helped me recover... but now I'm getting all these effects since trying to come off them.

Dont come off it without supervision and do it by quarter of a tablet not whole ones over a few weeks , you must talk to the dr at every step

It was our lads birthday today and this would have been his 40th and although time is a great healer occasionally it still hurts. It's life so sadly nothing can be done, but it does make you appreciate how precious each moment is on this sabbatical journey we all must take.

We are here for an infinitesimally small and transient moment in time, so of course we have to make it the best journey we possibly can, therefore if at all possible brothers .. lets make it a good one.

I know depression can encapsulate and envelope beyond any realm of reality that you could imagine, but whatever it is that clouds your mantra try to look beyond the immediate moment. Because each day we travel forward is a step toward a brighter day and a promise that the day will come ..That is all except to say ..

Everybody hurts..sometimes.

Just seen this, a beautiful photo of a young family innocently unaware of such tough times ahead. I've had loss to deal with of an unborn child and that was and still is something I think about almost daily some 37 years later. I can't imagine the hurt you feel from your situation, your words are fantastic.

It takes months even years to slowly do it. Easier when administered as a fluid.

Speak to your GP to discuss strategy.

I have been on antidepressents for about fifteen years , started with something different but it never suited me , never had the anxiety till much later , it paralysed me literally in my bed , the citalopram sorted that but i had to go to the thirty dose , last year i had a day i was paralysed in my bed but that has been the one off, post covid , long covid caused that . I speak to my dr frequently and have agreed i am on them for life , i am fine with that , it is a chronic illness like every other , it is no shame to be on them

Oh yeah, mental illness's are just that...illness's. No shame in that. I'd say everybody suffers at some point in their lives. Some more than others though. We take pain killers to get rid of pain, so why not anti-depressants to get rid or depression or anxiety!! It IS difficult getting it right, though...some people may be talking them when they're not needed. Sometimes therapy will be the best medicine fore some people.

I can get a fluid version? That sounds better to reduce.
