Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

Second anniversary today of a local kid who took his own life at 18. Buried on his 19th birthday. Family friends and the devastation is still there.

Just talk to people. Talk to us dickheads on here. There is always someone to listen and someone will understand if you keep talking. There is nothing you can’t talk through.

Had a further diagnosis from a lovely dr at the Sefton suite tonight, something called FND. I’m not gonna lie - one of these illnesses is eventually gonna topple me.

Is it a myelin, motor neurons, Alzheimer's issue? or related? Never take a first diagnosis.

Sorry about your diagnosis and prognosis mate, take care of yourself.

I wish you all the best with it and hope you can do well on the treatment for a good while yet fella.

I usually just drop in my usual miserable mood and symptoms in here but wanted to say thanks for all the ongoing kind words, it’s amazing how far this forum has come and ensuring we create a positive place.

This one hasn’t really sunk in yet, for a number of reasons. Christmas + family stuff. Im seeing neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists, all on the company dime which makes me sad at the state of our own health services, I’ve made absolute leaps and bounds in several months with regard to diagnosis. My advice to anyone who has the money or ability is go private even if you’re moderately young and healthy, your older self is relying on you - which didn’t ever dawn on me.
