    Has she actually said that @Catherine21 I'd not seen that anywhere.

    Though I did see another MP from a different party saying anxiety was a neurodivergent condition, but autism was a mental health condition. I'm very glad that person isn't in charge. ๐Ÿ˜†

    Thank you very much Bluebell

    Please take care

    Thank you very much Catherine

    Please take care

    i would like to add please that im glad that i stood up for myself and didnโ€™t continue taking sertraline , it was prescribed to me for the first time and i reported that i felt very bad and couldnโ€™t take it , after some time it was prescribed to me again and once again magical sertaline , after taking it i had an allergic reaction like never before in my life and such pain in my veins and enlarged veins and other symptoms that i thought i was going to die , my body has always reacted very badly to ssri drugs, when i was attending job centre coach work was asking me about medication , i was really scared that they will accuse me of not wanting to take medication even if the medication has a very bad effect on me and it wasnโ€™t the coach who had to deal with the effects of this drug and not being able to get up to go to the bathroom, but me .., In Krakow a ward has been set up to admit patients with a very serious withdrawal symptoms and side effects after stopping antidepressant , i would like to emphasise that these are my experiences , kind regards

    I just woke up from yet another unwanted and unplanned sleep, sick of sertraline tbh, I've always had an afternoon nap because my brain burns itself out as it doesn't shut down when it should, that's gone on since I was 14 (1997) but since sertraline they are much deeper sleeps,much longer and not optional

    I'm another person who relies on afternoon powernaps. Just a quick 30 mins in a dark room really can make all the difference to the rest of the day. Like rebooting a computer.

    When I go to sleep by choice, I'll either have a song stuck in my head, dwell on a worry or have nightmares.

    It's nobody else's business really and their opinions and ignorance aren't on you.

    I get burnt out being around people it's like thier sucking the life out of me when I get to burnout point I get very snappy horrid to say I don't get joy from people I feel more unhappy all events like getting married was horrendous for me having a baby because body dismorphia didn't want to be seen for years used to be a people pleaser and you attract enough users had one friend she was always asking for help with kids house you name it I used to do it when I came home I had to stay in bed for days then I'd be hard on myself feeling useless it's so hard isn't it somedays worse than others I totally understand what your both saying sometimes I mourn the life I wanted in a way not to be rich Just to be happy

    I could never work unfortunately (unless it was 100% at home on my terms) I can't get through one NOT one day without two or three minimum incidents.

    I have chronic prostate disease aka prostatitis, now for 10 years that alone ruins my life, on bad days (no exaggeration) I can urinate up to 30 times a day and often as every 15 minutes. and there's no build up warning I go immediately to a bathroom or have an accident it's absolutely disgusting no wonder I rarely leave home, this is before we get on to chronic migraines (at least one a week since age 8) and we're not even getting to the autism, ADHD, tourettes, depression, anxiety and colitis yet!

    I would never get married Catherine, that's far too much for me, so as eeL says that's a whopping achievement.

    I'd consider a relationship again one day but not marriage,not me,never lol

    Oh it was so hard being married twice !! And yes I didn't realise at time I'd have major tantrums over my milk being used or I just wanted to escape so I go to spare room and I'd get come in front room watch a film in my head I'd be screaming leave me alone I'd have to force myself to be normal well like a couple I hated it but I was young and hated being on my own but hated being with anyone telling me what to do was the worst never took instructions well but at the age 52 I'm glad to be on my own space with my two dogs I'm not yearning for anything just peace to have a million conversations with myself lol and my daughter she visits often
