Anxiety and depression thread (Please read OP)

Depends what you want. The CBD vape oil is sold in vape shops.

CBD oil in a tincture (where you put drops on your tongue, or into a glass of water) is available in pharmacies, and health shops. Also online, in Irish online stores. It's legal, as long as there's 0% THC in it.

This isn't really a medical/ debate forum. Whatever works for the individual, works for the individual. I'd say very few of us are in the medical field.

As far as I see on this thread people debating what drugs best to use. I am not against but have to be careful consideration beforehand, there is many natural ways to heal Anxiety and depression.

id have to agree with this to a point, even though i can understand why some would do so, after exhausting everything else, theres nothing worse than a period of crap sleep. id try the usual, regular heavy exercise, good diet, meditation, yoga, good sleep hygiene etc etc, before going down the road of drugs. im really glad ive my sleep routine down now, and it works for me, requires a lot of discipline though

shur give it a go, only you can be the true judge, im luck i have access to regular group meetings with people that have the same diagnosis as myself, autism, it helps me a lot to know ive trained professionals to turn to and others that experience the world in a similar way to myself

Ah no, not what I'm looking for. That looks more like an online game.

Cheers Wanderer. I'll report back.

Don't worry about that. Just call them. Maybe during the day if you can as it's less busy for them.

I'd say you should discuss this with your Psychiatrist. You have every right to feel annoyed about the student Dr. He should have asked you.

It's best to discuss it with him. Can you look into changing Psychiatrist if you don't like his reponse? I am doing this myself at the moment because of my insurance but finding it not as easy as I thought it would be.

I went to the online meeting. It was allright but they use the 12 step programme which I'm not a fan of. I said I'd give it a few trys though to give it a chance.

no harm in doing an antigen, just to be sure

fair play to you, ive only had one antigen done, but that was to go on holidays, and i dont think it was done right at all

Completely burned out, anxious and depressed for a long long time now. Getting no joy out of anything. All just problems, big and small and work.

whys whats happening?

It's a curse.

Sometimes, when I feel the 'trap' coming on--as in similar behaviour you describe, I try to just write down how I feel. Like, handwriting, not typing it out-something about our handwriting and the whole 'motion' is more cathartic. Then take that piece of paper, and just rip it up (some people throw it in the fire and watch it burn. It's honestly up to you).

It takes away the thought's power.

Helps a lot.

Definitely do. Today was me sleeping off whatever it was that was bugging me for the last day or two. I kind of think it was something related to taking meds on an empty stomach. Either way, it's less so today. Still groggy.

My cousin had it about a month ago. She went out for groceries, came back feeling crappy. It doesn't take much to get infected. (I think being only in contact with someone who's infected for 15 minutes can mean you catch it).

Just take care of yourself. And if you start feeling really bad, don't hesitate to go to hospital.

Thanks guys, just back from my test. Glad I went but an awful chore to get washed and dressed this morning. Hot/cold, aching bones, sore throat and terrible cough, no smell or taste and no appetite.

@ Grem what's the difference between a psychologist and a good therapist? I know they are more expensive and more specialised but what exactly is it?
