    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.
