    Please do care for yourself ♥️

    Hi Bluebell

    Thank you very much for writing here and your kind support

    Please do care for yourself ♥️

    i would also like to mention that when i wasnt taking medication i was wondering how i would feel while taking them , taking them doesn’t make me feel like i can cope with everyday life , the attitude of my family member traumatised me , my own mother in response to my begging ( because it was begging from me to her and before i didn’t ask her for help and i always worked and she knew that i worked very hard here in UK ) she was able to write to me with one word “ therapy “

    they discharged me from the therapy , first they offered 6 sessions and then after 4 sessions they discharged me

    Kind regards

    i would like to add please that i know that people get help in mental hospitals but i also know that for some people their mental condition really deteriorates after a hospital stay and that the hospital has had a bad impact on them , i think i was in hell the way i felt and what was said to me , i don’t know if such things can be forgiven

    Thank you very much Bluebell

    Have a good night

    Please take care

    i would like to have a sense of security and other things rather than constantly worrying about benefits and what the government will decide this is ruining my already ruined life

    A lot of members are feeling this, like life is on pause and we all have a cloud above us. Hopefully after Wednesday we'll get some answers and can settle a little.

    huge hugs to you 🌹

    I hope everyone is doing ok in this discussion today. I won't tag everyone, just in case people are still sleeping, or having a nap. 😉

    Hello everyone, I wasn't on much yesterday after the bit of morning conversations . I had something I had to attend too. Unfortunately I came down with a headache that I couldn't shake off . Wishing everyone a reasonable day today. Please take care of yourselves everyone and please be kind to yourselves too. The headache seems to have gone . As a rule I sort out things for Sunday dinner that's what on the agenda for today . A bit of a nap and then before I know it it's tea time and tv time . I will probably be hit and miss today. Just look after yourselves.

    Mine (not Sertraline) suit me well in that they stop me crying uncontrollably. They aren't easy to reduce or stop but they allow me to function. I had to increase my meds by 50% when I was bereaved and messed about by DWP so I'm unlikely to ever manage without them.

    Whether my meds be should be changed for the ASD diagnosis is something I've put off exploring.

    In DWP terms, PTSD is a "common" (mild) mental health condition. We know it isn't mild but fluctuating and mine is still unmanageable under stress.
