    There will always be a place for you here @Strawberry1. You're always welcome to pop in whenever you feel up to it. 

    From me though, you are not a burden. I've experienced thoughts like that, and they can be hard to ignore. You're so certain you are burdening others around you that it causes yourself worry, anxiety and discomfort. 

    The truth I've found though, is that it's not true. I was so certain I was a burden to my family and friends for so long, but I never actually was. You aren't a burden to us either.

    But if staying here is too much I understand, just know the door is always open.

    I'm full of the joys of spring NOT . Had an increase in pain relief for my back . Tablets made me feel drunk and sleepy .  Read about these meds online . Apparently terrible reviews.  I think they made my mental health worse . The other down side I've stopped myself taking anymore . I don't think any of the doctors or specialist take the side effects into consideration.  Yes they might know there job inside out but I don't think they prescribe some stuff properly.

    @Strawberry1 Hopefully there is another medication that can help and not give you the side effects! Have you spoke to your GP?

    Hi @Hannah_Scope , I've taken various different medications vertuly with all the same side effects and one thing I am sure of is I'm not spending the rest of my life sat on the toilet.

    I never asked to be dealt a Mental Health issue. I suppose that's easy for me to say an easy excuse. I think there will always be a stigma about Mental Health and I don't think it will ever go away .

    Please don't hate yourself. And again, no need to apologise <3

    My mental health suffered because of my IBD. Have you spoke to your GP about talking therapies?
