Rant.... I just need to rant... I'm sorry.

Rant.... I just need to rant... I'm sorry.

If I have to deal with one more sob story about someone who had depression/anxiety and yet still managed to get out of bed/work/study/eat but it was soooo hard and all they did was 'eat better' and 'exercised more' and they got better so why aren't I just doing that?

I'm going to yell.

These people have no idea what mental illness can be like. They don't have the struggles of the daily medication that sedates you and saps your energy, the humiliation of having to live with your parents as an adult, not being able to get a job because you've lost your last job cause you were insane, fearing for my future cause if it wasn't for my parents I'd be homeless.

They have no idea.

Mild anxiety and depression seems to be a strengthener- look what I got through, I'm strong. And if you can't kick it you're just a failure. Scum that can't be worth the effort.

I'm sorry for ranting. I'm just a touch negative and the above probably shouldn't end up on facebook.

Re: Rant.... I just need to rant... I'm sorry.

@Former-Member. That sounds like a good idea. It's important to have people we can talk to about our own problems and struggles. It's finding the right 'fit' of friends, that can empathise with what you are going through and how tough it can be.
Just as your friend who finds $70 an issue - she may be better discussing that with someone else.
Or you may both find common ground where you can hear and understand that her concern is that medical care should be free. Rather than focus on the fact she can afford it.
And she may be able to see that you struggle when someone who can afford it - has a little whinge over such a small amount. When your medical bills are just so high.
Communication styles are like learning styles. We all differ in how we learn. Some can hear instructions and understand. Others need written instructions. While others nedd to try to do it themselves to learn.
I hope that you and your friend can work this out. As it does sound like two people who simply heard the same message differently. And we can all do that sometimes.

Stupid uni health service is booked up for a whole week and a half!!!!! Next available appointment is in June!!!!
I've just chucked a sickie cause I'm feeling terrible and I wanted to get a medical certificate.
I also have an exam today that I'm not going to attend. I just can't do it.
How am I going to do something about this when I can't get in to see a doctor and I don't want to see my regular GP as he will tell my psych. Urgh!

RAAANNNNTTTTT!
I just wish everyone in the library would shut up!!!
And loud cougher is back. I understand that you might have a medical condition that means you need to cough, but you don't need to be so loud! Women in their subjugated position in society learn to cough more quietly than men, so it can be learned. I just wish it was taught in kindergarten.
BE QUIET PEOPLE!!!!!! ARRGGHHH!

People who disagree with my opinion on the SSM debate make me very very angry.
I'm yet to come across a single articulated verified fact/opinion from my opponents. And it's not fair, they are playing with peoples live's here. It shouldn't be an opinion poll - our 'leaders' should just give every citizen equal rights under the law. Now.
ARRGGGHHHH!

AMEN I am sick to death that people who suffer non lifelong catastrophic mental illness telling those of us who do to simple buck up and take a lap. They have no concept of our suffering I have schizoaffective disorder and no amount of wishful thinking and jogging will make it better. The atypical antipsychotics that do make life slightly bearable also cause weight gain this putting me into everyone’s favorite beat upon category the fat crazy guy.

IF ONE MORE PERSON SAYS 'CALL LIFELINE' I'M GOING TO PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE.

ALL THEY DO IS TELL YOU TO GO TO THE ER.

WHAT THE F**K IS THE POINT OF THAT.

When people post on my facebook wall about 'pro' mental health or talk to me about their great organistion that promotes mental health ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW THE FUCK THEY ARE GOING TO TREAT MENTAL ILLNESS?!??!?!?!?

Talk is nice. Promotion is good.

BUT WE HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST SUICIDE RATES IN THE INDUSTRIALISED WORLD AND INSUFFICIENT PROVISION OF TREATMENT SERVICES.

WE NEED OUR GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP AND WRITE POLICY FOR THE EQUITABLE AND AFFORDABLE PROVISION OF MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT SERVICES FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS.

RAAGGGEEEEEEEE!
