@WhatThe Oh no I'm really sorry, you misunderstood, the posts got out of the right order! I wasn't saying who decided and what's autism, I meant the chemical imbalance of the brain Nightcity mentioned! I too have autism, I had a two year wait, I know how hard it is to get diagnosed and it is done by specialists - been through that myself ❤Sorry, I need to stop posting to multiple people at the same time, it gets jumbled x

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. 😆

Thank you very much Catherine
Please take care
i would like to add please that im glad that i stood up for myself and didn’t continue taking sertraline , it was prescribed to me for the first time and i reported that i felt very bad and couldn’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 wasn’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

Agnia I had some sort of allergic reaction too, it used to make me vomit so bad that I couldn't stop until I'd 'washed' my stomach out, in effect drinking water that I'd vomit up over and over until it seemed to dilute the drug enough for me to stop being sick. When I told my GP he said 'You'll get used to it' and I told him it was getting worse not better - it started with one vomit a few minutes after taking it and ended up with instant vomiting that wouldn't stop. Yeah I suppose all the vomiting stopped me from thinking about mental health problems and anxieties whilst I rushed in a panic for water and tried to get my head out the loo and prayed not to die so maybe you could say it worked lol

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 rely on the afternoon rest for exactly the same reasons Nightcity! The only reason I work at all is because I do a job that involves two shifts a day, a morning one and an early evening one - by the end of both my brain is completely scrambled and overloaded, I just come home and crash. I get fed up with people asking what I do in my spare time as by the time I've put my world back together again and recovered enough to face the outside world there isn't any spare time lol I've got to understanding a little bit since my autism diagnosis that my brain literally burns out and shuts down, in fact it can be quite scary if I've had a bad day and it starts doing it before I've got home. If I didn't lie down in a dark room in between I'd never manage. It's like my brain is a very old mobile phone battery that only runs for so long then you can't get anything out of it, it goes off! Turn it back on and you'll get a bit more, but it'll shut down again, black screen, and nothing you can do about it. Sometimes going to bed and sleeping is unavoidable, my brain will completely shut down, with or without my permission. And there's a period of exhaustion before I get to lie down when I break things, drop things, trip over things, have no spacial awareness and bump into things - I've really hurt myself sometimes. People don't understand, the afternoon nap for some of us isn't a lazy luxury, it's a necessity 😊

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
