I've been through some major highs and lows since i recieved my diagnosis. And by highs and lows i mean stages of good and bad health. Stages of working and unemployment. Bouts of depression and anxiety on a daily basis....I've had all sorts of stuff going on basically.

@MDT
Have done a few small tasks and have a few more lined up for later
Am aching all over at the moment and feeling very tired. Wanting to sleep but can't switch off because I'm agitated.

I give up... i really do... the psychiatric system ain't nothing but a load of bullish!t ... all they're worried about is screwing people up with their assortment of pharmasutical drugs and taking home a pay check ... it's evil... it really is evil... I'm amazed they can get away with what they do to perfectly normal people.... makes me sick !!! It really does ...

@eudemonism I’ve just caught up with things on your thread. Sounds rough atm.
Youve been doing small things to make it through, that’s all we can do. I hear your frustration with the system, I really do.
I hope today has small wins for both of us. Sending some of these, and a coffee. 💕💜💕💜☕️☕️☕️☕️

@Maggie I'm fed up with everything tbh. The term prisoner of psychiatry is a daily reality for myself. And I'm struggling to come to terms with how they can do it to me, and how they can get away with it scott free. It's all about controlling and brainwashing people, and setting the benchmark about and beyond what's normal .

@eudemonism I hear what you are saying. Unfortunately the man who has the gold makes the rules.
I don’t know if it’s possible for you to do it, but can you go for a short walk outside and listen to the birds and breath in the air. I’m not making light of the situation at all. Just sometimes moments just help to get through the big tough ones. 💜☕️
