I so so believe in the power of Sane Forums.
yes @heartathome iv seen my latest psychotherapist for 24 years.
before that others. I just knew there was something wrong with my childhood and ….anyway….. I see her but we also zoom. I realise

to be honest

how much social media has helped me. My two sons - I guess - need me to do this because I truly believe although they are in their 30s, they are both quite damaged but living fruitful lives

I write occasionally on Quora and here.

@heartathome @Jynx @Chasingsunsets @Mustang67 @Glisten

oh @Mustang67 my post keeps on not sending or press like

but I mean to say that

@Glisten gives me little nudges about my art I think including @ENKELI

oh was this for you or @heartathome ?
oops

oh @TAB an I well : it’s the sort of laziness but bodies beginning to have problems stuff in that I stay at home a lot and sleep a lot …..

I'm no artist @PeppyPatti It must be @ENKELI who's the other artist. I wonder how many people on here do art for therapy.

@MissGremlin Beautiful affirmations. Really needing them today. How are you? I know you have been unwell too. I’ve been thinking of you and wishing there was more I could do to help.

@Mustang67 Hello friend. How are you? I really needed that hug. Thank you. How are you feeling?

@Mustang67 Hello beautiful friend. How are you? I did not know about you needing a medication review. I’m sorry you too are needing to wait to find a psychiatrist.

I can relate and empathise with depression and the issues with getting the right medicine. Have you been able to find a psychiatrist and book an appointment? The feeling of lack of joy like when you were receiving your new coins is an awful one to sit with. How are you doing now?

Tapering is going harder each day as the drop in dose really takes effect. Today is particularly hard. I’m struggling a lot and there’s really no help at hand at home. It’s awful.

@PeppyPatti Hello bunny how are you? Don’t be ashamed. Many of us live in poverty despite doing everything we can to avoid it.

You’re amazing and I am so glad you have your forever home now and are secure there.

@heartathome Hello lovely how you going? Support button not working again! Are rhings going ok for you today?

Im so glad you’ve had a regular psychiatrist for that long. They must be good as you wouldn’t have kept them so long if they were awful.

My daughter is studying psychology at Uni. She lives quite a distance so it’s hard to see her. We have a really good relationship but I think she’s funding seeing me so unwell really hard. She says she’s very proud of me for going through this.

Yes friends seem to have just abandoned me since I’ve become unwell. I havnt done anything to anyone just wanting to chat and have some company. The forum people here have been so understanding and caring. I hope I too have been able to help people here.

@PeppyPatti I’m so happy you’re feeling good things lovely. You deserve it. Support button not working again so wanted you to know I’m happy for you.

Hello @Cuddlebear It's so annoying when the support button isn't working because no one knows they're being supported unless they reply, which not everyone is up to. I hate to think someone feels unsupported on here! My morning has been gentle. I managed to go downtown to get my meals for the week from the local neighbourhood centre. I'm listening to 80's music on utube at the moment and relaxing. I might go down and listen to a friend play some ukulele later. I've got an appointment with a SANE counsellor this afternoon. She phones me one week and I have the SANE recovery group the following week. Have you done the recovery group yet? I think it's 6 sessions. 🤔

Dear @Cuddlebear

thoughts come up for me when I read a little of your story but also reflections.
when I first met you I felt like a kindness which was nice in your words.
yes, this awful story that your dealing with your friends and changing anti depressants ………

but before I lurch into my own stories of friends letting me go -

I feel - please let me know if I’m wrong but maybe your speaking from your own fear that your daughter can’t see you ?

I mean if this is your story of your daughter being hesitant at the same time being flicked by friends when your mental health is:was compromised ??

I mean, I’m trying to identify where I go wrong with my mental health and one thing I do is hang upon people on the mobile. I don’t like speaking on the mobile anyway but I have this terrible habit of just saying

‘ oh I can see your fine or some such

and say gotta go and hang up.

im writing / speaking from my trauma. All those years of being hypersensitive are being remembered.

Well yesterday a person rang me and I did that to him. I said, “oh, …….. I hope things go well, I better get going bye and

I hung up, I didn’t

think of anything. Then
my husband said well he’s not going to call you again.
and I listened.
