thanks for that rowanwitch i couldnt understand it and never had it explained to me by my gp.
tinkerbell this is a new account of mine do to a comment made by someone regarding mental health problems on one of your previous threads.
i think their comment was along the lines of telling you to pull yourself together.
i responded hastily and angrily
it is a fact that 1 in 4 people suffer some form of mental health problems at some point of their life.
too which i replied angrily
please dont report me for this lol as this is one of the best websites for honest decent answers

plenty of outwardly bubbly chatty people suffer from depression.... its sometimes a coping mechanism generally I don't seem depressed in the early stages but I do try too hard to be a funny and friendly... also a really risky time is when the tablets start to 'kick in' someone who has been too low and apathetic to do anything silly may feel they have the wherewithal to try hence the frequent visits to GP and why after many many years of treatment I still get asked every time if I have had any thoughts of hurting myself or suicide...

look at the late gary speed rowan

Exactly,..... outwardly coping just fine...and there are many many more

Tinkerbell.... why not take some time to care for yourself instead..... I don't meen fancy nail products or the latest skin care either... I mean eating healthy stuff, getting exercise out doors when you can, and maybe finding something among your hobbies to concentrate on... and sort out your sleeping arrangements... or I will send Redman over to confiscate your mobile

That is very true.....once i learn how to "deal" with her and some old problemos.....im hoping ill feel amazing xx

The biggest revelation I had was understanding the cr@p when I was young was not my fault...she was a poor parent I was not a bad child and I didn't have to spend the rest of my life trying to make her proud of me.

Question Author
Very wise words. I dont feel the need to make her proud but i am aware of her influence still if tht makes sense....still live under her roof for now so only so much i can do!!! When its good its fine when its bad its awful...
But once i deal with my feelings and resentment i hope it will be better! X
|
|
You'll get there despite being young you have the insight to know your life could be better if you deal with the bad stuff...it takes time though

Question Author
It keeps me going to think that i can make the changes and i think i can. I dont want to keep feeling the way i do and cause the anxiety! Im telling myself its a phase and in a while ill be fine.
Thanks for the chat rowan you are so lovely and understanding xxx
