Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

Has the doctor done that with the meds or have you done it off your own bat? As Groucho said correctly, it needs to be steady doses. I speak from experience.

It's me, sometimes I forget to take them for days at a time which leads me to think "if I'm forgetting it must be because my brain clearly doesn't view them as a priority, maybe I don't need them at all in that case?"

Then there's an inevitable drop off and I have a tough few days. Keeps happening, I need to stop being so inconsistent.

I used to mark it off on the calendar when I took mine in the morning mate, that way I never forgot or became confused, as to whether I`d taken them or not.

If you are like me, the mornings used to be the worst, as I felt like there was a fog in my head, making it difficult to think straight and I also felt shattered until about 11am, when the meds would kick in properly.

It`s very easy to forget to take them and I know exactly where you are coming from.

I have mine somewhere they cant be missed so I cant forget them. Obvioulsy out of kids way. The mind will do that to you. The counselling I had taught me thecreasons and how to react to them. Hopefully if you are getting counselling it will do the same.

Same. I have a reminder programmed into my phone.

You’ve posted about being inconsistent with your meds on here a lot mate . You aren’t helping yourself . It’s a dangerous game arsing about with anti depressants.

Set a daily alarm so you don’t forget or speak to your GP to get weaned off them .
 
I don’t know how much coverage the Kavanaugh hearings have got elsewhere but they have been extensive in the US.

Dr Ford’s tesimony has had a profound effect personally with several girlfriends sharing their experiences wifh very serious assault that they had kept private up to now and the mental health issues they have dealt with subsequently. The stats on sexual abuse, for both women and men, are pretty dire - even if you personally haven’t experienced it it is likely someone you know has and they could well have found this week has brought up some very difficult memories.

Just wanted to post some links to organisations that can provide help for those directly affected and tips for how to respond if someone does share their history.

It’s easily done, don’t beat yourself up about it. Just try to find a system that works for you.
 
Discussion with a mate of mine who works in a mental health facility about problems with addiction, talked about my issues with Codeine.

Problem is now that after that chat all I can think about is actually going and getting some. Next few days are going to be horrible.
