For some reason, I need to open up about this. I have never told anybody about this, yet it seems easier to talk about this on here. Maybe , its because I know I wont be judged. When I was 16, I was raped by who I thought was my friend. It makes me feel so dirty and tainted. I feel...

I am currently on mirtazapine for my depression. I also have a care team, complete with a physiatrist, psychologist and mental health support nurses. Do you think it's worth discussing this with my psychiatrist?

Yesterday, I was talking to my care co-ordinator about suicide and how I feel about it. It was a topic that I felt comfortable talking about, so I was honest with her. I feel calm about the idea of killing myself. It doesn't scare me like it used to. I do feel like if I did do it, it wouldn't...
