Hi ladee, Thanks for your reply I definitely accept and need the :hug: I can't take the Valium less than 3x a day so I suppose I do need to come off them but it's so scary :( :hug: If you want them

Thanks for your replies, it means a lot you have taken the time I will find out about the seroquil and will try the app. I just feel overwhelmed all the time and it's hard not to take the easy way out sometimes but I'm trying :) Best Wishes Julia

Hi justmehere, I kno that you are right about the addiction and losing its effectiveness when I am in a calm state of mind, sadly and ironically that's when I'm on the Valium. I think if I'm honest although I have only been on it for five weeks, I do take it 3x a day and the thought of coming...

Thank you for all your replies I will reply to you all personally if that's ok. I haven't taken one tonight and am out with friends but am losing it although everyone is oblivious X just want to be "normal" for a day x

Hi Lucycat, Thanks for your reply, in all honesty he did say they would have to wean me off but I didn't know it would be so effective or how soon they would do it. The psychiatrist has mentioned Quetiapine but I was afraid it wouldn't be as effective so this has given me some hope thanks X I am...

Hi . I am diagnosed as having severe ptsd and bpd (borderline personality disorder) I have had some therapy which made me worse as it opened everything up and then we ran out off time on the NHS and I am now on an 8 month waiting list to try and fix that which is pure hell on earth. Over...

Sammy, I know from experience that numbness is natural and totally understandable. I know you probably won't believe it right now but things will feel better in time Sending you big hugs and best wishes x

Hi @Purplemunchkin, Thanks for your reply it is much appreciated. The support from my G.P is mixed, one in particular used to be really good but I feel like they are tired of me now as I don't seem to be improving and the last bout of therapy seemed to make me worse, I used to be able to damp...

Hi, @blackemerald1 thanks so much for the message and your support it means a lot. I hope that you are not having too many torrid days and are doing ok? I am home now and have been ok and not. I have been visited by the urgent care team a couple of times following a couple of incidents/ bad...

Hi Reds, I can totally relate to this and I push people away myself. In terms of your therapist I think they will understand more than anyone else can and if you feel the work you have been doing with her is valuable you should contact her. It's easy to forget the relationship with your T is a...

I have just had a huge trigger, woke up feeling good for once, the sun was shining through the window with blue sky. Then if felt like suddenly I was anxious I am trying to think of the trigger and I think it was thinking my partner might leave me because of the way I am right now. Following...

Thanks purplemunchkin and Kas can fly. You are lovely people. Take Care x

hi @casey, I understand what you are saying I have been there myself very recently and still am to some extent but I wanted you to know there is hope and things can get better step by little step. Are there are any helplines you can ring where you can speak to someone, just having someone...

Hi everyone, Thought I'd check in to say hi, I haven't been able to before no wifi in crisis house where I've been for last 8 days and there for another two. Generally they have been really good and have pulled me through the worst I think. I am looking forward to coming home but am scared...

Hi blackemerald1, Thanks for your reply, they won't be tied down to an admittance date yet but think it will be next week sometime. Wine and flat feelings are getting me through at the mo, I know it's not ideal, but it's better than the alternative. I hope I can help you all as much as you...

Hey just wanted to check in to say I'm still here and waiting for space in crisis centre. I feel totally emotionless and flat now, no energy or interest in anything and I think that might be keeping me alive as I'm too tired to do anything . I hope you are all doing ok and are heading off the...

Hi, why is depression the only illness that people are angry or disappointed in you for having? That's how I feel right now, my partner was upset when I told her how I felt, although she did say she was sick of the situation rather than me. I can understand she is frustrated and probably...
