Not Coping

did you get to do any of your assignments @Birdofparadise8 ?

You seem to be well when occupied...

I’ve done them @Kyle1

I can’t stop crying and the pain is so strong. I do over this. It’s so hard.

I get [medication name removed by moderators] for moments like these. Have you tried that @Birdofparadise8 ?

No I don’t have any on me you want to share lol @Kyle1 maybe I should ask my GP.

PS you’ll need to edit your post and just say medication you’ll get in trouble.

yeah - it's been a lifesaver for me. Even when I didn't want to admit it.

If it helps you to know about it, I don't care if I get introuble. Trouble is what the medicine helps with... Trouble is why I mentioned it... All the best 🙏

@Birdofparadise8, this may sound cliche, but this life is yours, the choice is yours. You define whether you let the darkness destroy you, or come out stronger and more resilient in the end. If you get out of this, you will be defined by the times you didn’t quit despite the struggle. You can rise, but only if you want to. Help is always there if you need it

Yeah thank you @Kyle1

I here they are highly addictive though??

Mmm okay @creative_writer

I want to get better, but I just keep getting hit with a road block at every step I take. I feel like the past four weeks I have taken 1000 steps back.

I’ve been on this new medication for five week and today the psychiatrist said to stay on it and I don’t see him for another six weeks. I won’t be here if I have to stay on this medication I need a change. I think I’ll go see my GP and see what she suggests.

Does that medication make you drowsy though @Kyle1

It depends @Birdofparadise8

Low doses, and taken only as required, and monitored by your gp... I've since learned there's little to worry about.

If I'm ultra anxious, with tremors and nausea and tears, I take 1. If not, I'll take half a tablet every 2nd day.

Literally saved my life
