Mental health

Strawberry1

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?

Strawberry1

Hi @Alex_Scope , yes its good to have numbers I can call if I need to talk to someone.  I have been feeling anxious recently but I'm trying to chill out . Support here is very good.  Hope you are well .

I can hear you have been feeling anxious recently @Strawberry1. Would you like to talk to us some more about this?

Also, is there anything that might help to reduce your anxiety at the moment? Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to help 

Strawberry1

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?

Strawberry1

Hi @Alex_Scope and @L _Volunteer,  I have been speaking with someone but I just struggle with lots of things . Sorry if I'm being a burden.  I appreciate your time and support as always.  I may chat soon but I just don't want to be a burden. Thank you again.

It's okay @Strawberry1 we're here if you need anything, and you're not a burden  

Strawberry1

Thank you again @Alex_Scope . You are a gem . 

Strawberry1

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

Sorry to hear this @Strawberry1 how's this afternoon looking?  

Strawberry1

@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 🤗 

Strawberry1

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!
