Anxiety and depression thread (Please read OP)

Gremlinertia

That's what I have as it happens but i still think you should get in touch with your gp regarding script, even if you can just get a call back from them perhaps.

Im.back to being paranoid, jumpy, not able to talk to people, extra anxious and starting to want to run away from things

Sorry for moaning. Thanks for listening

Me too, friend.

Need to cop on in regards to paranoia and rejection issues.

Do you sleep for a long time when you do get to sleep?

That's what this thread is for, no apologies ever needed for getting stuff off your chest. Hope it lightens the load a little until you can decide what to do..

Just want to add a +1 for getting things off you chest. I do it all the time and it can make a big difference.

That's what this thread is great for.

Ah they can be so weird and trippy!

Today I was flat sharing with my brother and others - so bizarre

I didn't remember my dreams for the longest time. One change of meds and I started to dream again. Like you said, trippy stuff. Almost lucid at times.

I used to oversleep now I only sleep a few hours per night. I think sleeping patterns can change with age. Also it's hard to sleep if the mind is overstimulated but I can't sleep until I've tired my mind out which can be well into the late hours. I should really disconnect the internet but it's not an option.

They can be very lucid - that was a fairly tame dream some are just Yellow Submarine territory

I deprive myself of sleep on work nights and then sleep literally half the weekend. This can't be healthy.

Hugo Stiglitz

I must go to sleep. I hope you all get some rest and comfort tonight. x

Sleep is needed to repair brain and body cells so in the long-term it really isn't healthy but I can never get my mind to STFU until it decides to. I'm not talking about negative stuff just pure random stuff bouncing around.

That sounds like a good plan, Hugo.

Gremlinertia

Night Hugo, hope you rest..

Night all.

Still awake

That's a pain, it's very difficult to sort out a sleep pattern or cycle once it's derailed..

Hi all, long time no see...

Finally did the college exams I couldn't do last year. Waiting on results now but unconvinced that I passed all of them. Suspect I'll have one or two repeats.

Came off my meds a couple of weeks ago against the advice of my psychiatrist. Suspect it was a mistake. Mood down, having to work very hard to keep worries in check, and intrusive thoughts are back. Also got discharged from psychiatrist... Probably shouldn't have ignored her warning that I'd almost certainly relapse if I came off them...

Sorry for ignoring you all, was sh1tty of me. Just didn't know how else to get through exams other than by shutting out the world.

Gremlinertia

Hey there Turtle, never apologise for being quiet, we all bunker at times. Glad that you feel able to come chat with us still. I'm constant on here, cant decide if this is good or bad but here i am Always someone about to chat to as you know, be nice to yourself number one.

Lady is a tramp

Well I'm still in St Pats, have been most of this year, with a couple of brief discharges. Seems to be always one step forward and two steps back for me. My mood etc is OK at the moment, but sure I can't live in hospital forever! Really wish I could get my life back on track.

It wasn't sh1tty at all. No need to apologise at all.

Fingers crossed that the exam results are good. If you have to repeat one or two, it's not the end of the world.


I can relate slightly about the meds. I got mine lowered at the start of the year. Told a few fibs about how good I was feeling in order to get them lowered. Big mistake.

Do you think that you could get in touch with your psych again?

Turtle_

Thanks guys. Sorry to hear things are still difficult for you outside hospital, Lady. My only experience of St pats is as an outpatient but during that I thought they were excellent so I'm sure they'll do whatever is best for you.

Hugo I can't actually go back... It was sunny the day of my last appointment (was during the really good spell of weather) and I bounced into the place and ended up discharged back to my GP... Because life was great and everything was amazing and wonderful and I was so happy and positive. Ironically I'm abroad now in proper heat and sunshine and it doesn't seem to be doing much good! I had forgotten how time consuming it all is without meds...
