One mental health worker I visited told me I have EUPD . I was also given medication to help anxiety too .

    I am on a waiting list for therapy it's just a matter of waiting.  I have numbers I can call so if I need to talk to someone I can . I just wanted to tell people my diagnosis that's all .

    Thank you for sharing your diagnosis @Strawberry1 and I'm glad you hear that you've got numbers to call if you need to :) It can be hard waiting for things as well, but the community is always here if you'd like to chat. 

    How are things today?

    I've not been around much . Despite having outside help . I'm struggling with my mental health.  Things have been hectic and I've struggled.

    I just don't cope very well despite having medication and other help . One lady seemed to think I have reccuring depression.

    You might be doing better than you think @Strawberry1, have you spoken to anyone involved in your care about depression?

    My mood is quite low at the moment.  It probably will be better soon but at the moment it's low .

    @Alex_Scope , apologies for my late response.  How are you ? I made myself do some cleaning despite feeling rubbish.  I think it looks better now it's cleaner . Please take care of yourself sending hugs and thanks again 🤗

    I dont mean to be a burden @Alex_Scope , I have depression and desire being treated for it    it's always there in the background and comes out from time to time . I apologise unreservedly.

    Thanks for the hugs @Strawberry1 that's lovely, I'm doing okay. Sometimes cleaning does help make us feel better :) 

    You're not a burden at all, there's no need to apologise. It's helpful to understand that your depression is something you're managing all the time. There's bound to be ups and downs and that's okay. It's good to talk about the good and bad parts. 

    Take care today and I'm sure I'll see you around the forum!
