See neurology today, he gave me 40mins bless him

He thinks what is happening is a functional problem and not an electrorial problem in the brain, he is booking me for another
Mri and an EEG, the later should tell us if i am having seizures or not and hopefully what type

He said the last mri showed more problems on the left side so it should be my right arm that is not the jerky one not the left arm

I feel confident of him and his plan so just have to chill and wait for the tests

Hang in there. I'm pulling for you. I had an eight year period where I had about 150 high-intensity seizures before they finally stopped. I don't know why they did, but I'm grateful.

Maybe I can cheer you up: here in the USA, we have a recurring electorial problem in our brain, and the diagnosis is still the same: TRUMP. And yes, it's distinctly late-stage and quite fatal.

‘Urgent’ 111 calls missed by crisis team - weekly report round-up

One 'outstanding' service was praised as ‘exceptional’ and ‘truly person-centred’
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

More than a third of ‘urgent’ 111 calls were not picked up by teams at a mental health trust, this week’s round-up of healthcare inspections reveals.

Some 41 per cent of calls to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust’s crisis and home treatment teams were abandoned, according to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means ‘some people requiring urgent help may not have been able to get through to a staff member, the watchdog said.

I just found this on youtube (15 minutes) and it felt like a happy antidote to some of the misery in the world. "Two Days on England's Oldest Road." Lovely scenery, slow, slow pace, and what a good lad he is.

I’m always into history, a few videos on ancient British roads.

Really really struggled today , I know heat can trigger psychotic episodes, it's probably similar biology with depression.
I am thinking of telling my brother that he has to prepare for me not being here.
Since they are not giving me ECT I don't see a way out of this and I don't even know that I can be arsed to find a way out of this , I've just had enough and don't want to keep doing this year in year out and I don't see it as a big deal not wanting to be here , I believe it's my absolute right to exit when it's in my best interests.
I don't know how I'm going to exit but it's just impossible to live with depression this painful. If what I've experienced since 2023 particularly is anything like common in society generally it's just terrifying. No one should suffer like this.
By that I mean chronic isolation due to autism or whatever else.
I hope the few people who know me in real life in 2026 accept my decision. I avoid people from my past for various reasons (none are malicious reasons incidentally) and I won't be making contact with them even to say goodbye.

Hi . Pink sorry to hear your having a rough time. Is there any mental health organisations that can help you in your area ?. You have mentioned a walk in place maybe they could talk to other providers and get you some help and respite. Take care X.

The very hot weather we are having affects a lot of people so you’re right about that, your brother is the key P and being honest with him on how much you’re suffering gives him the chance to support you in your desire to end the misery.

Not everyone is equipped to help and if he can’t then Mind, the drop in centre and 111 have to help please give someone that chance.

They're trying to encourage me to go to the daily social at the walk-in centre.
I'll probably need a long walk tonight. The heat is stopping me thinking straight.

Listen to them; the walk-in is a decent shout. Give it a go.

I still think you could give hypnotherapy another try. Have you considered volunteering some time at a nature reserve? Outdoors, peaceful... you'll interact with a few people in a relaxed environment. Just a thought.

I doubt I could relax enough to be hypnotised.
I'm in a constant state of extreme anxiety at what the future might bring and at what I'm going through.

I agree. Have you tried someone like Anxiety UK? They might be able to recommend more suitable therapies which will in turn build a bridge to clinical hypnotherapy. Or they might recommend something else entirely.

If you haven't been for that walk yet then do try and get out

I've just walked down to the shops and its a really nice temperature with a nice cool breeze, much better than the sauna-like feeling inside the house!
 
Been out picking litter these last few nights.
Didn't finish until 245 Sunday night.
Brings me a certain amount of peace but I still haven't managed to go to the walk in centre.
Which is so frustrating. I wake up and I just can't face going out in such a drowsy state.
My depression is just so incredibly severe and it's so frightening. I know that I have to go to the daily social at the walk-in centre so i can say I've tried it. They probably think I'm exaggerating about the chainsaw etc to get ECT but I'm certainly not exaggerating about how agonising my depression and isolation are.

Have you seen your GP recently P you “wake up in a drowsy state and can’t face going out” makes me think your health needs a check up. ??
It’s the one place you need to go first, you could ring in the morning for an appointment it’s what I would do if I was waking up drowsy. :)

I think the drowsiness is down to the medication I'm on
 
Just been picking litter for three and a half hours and I barely feel any better.
The torment I'm suffering is just unbearable.
What am I supposed to do if I'm suffering life threatening depression and they are denying me life saving treatment?
I feel I have no choice other than to kill myself.
As I've said time and time again it's just impossible to live with depression this brutal.
I hope I can go to the mental health centre tomorrow but I doubt I'll be able to do this.
I feel like I'm close to cracking up completely.
And if that happens maybe it has to happen.
If I end up making a "fool" of myself in public, so what ? I've got nothing to lose.
