Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[BluePaul86]

Lot of internet bullys on here. Clearly idiots who don't understand depression and being down and negative most of the time. Think I'll just post in here from now on.

to be fair the mods do a great job and normally stamp out any bullying on here

it is a discussion forum where people have differing views, but from a personal standpoint I don't think ive seen much bullying, it just wouldn't be tolerated.

you can report any posts that you think over step the mark and the mods will definitely look into it.

I blocked one idiot on here who called me a '[Phrase removed]'. As I stated before I've been on here many years, actively bought + sold tickets and met a few posters in real life. Being called or insinuated that I'm a kopite to me is bullying. I know I don't help myself with my negativity but that's just the way I am sadly.

99% of it is tongue in cheek banter / piss taking mate.

A good way of finding your feet / getting used to the way things are is to post in the Ale House and stay off the main forum.

My lack of social awareness affects me both in real life + online.

Stay away from the main forum during the closed season then, it can get a bit tetchy

go and read the 'dating' thread in the ale house.

it might make you feel a load better

we all struggle from time to time mate.

what ive found on here though, is through all the banter and piss taking there are some genuinely nice and friendly people, more than happy to help out

Look I don’t want have a drawn out exchange with you but I guess you’re referring to me.... let’s get it straight, I never called you a kopite or insinuated that you were one ... in retaliation you’ve come in here and called ‘me’ an idiot and suggest I lack understanding of your depression. For your info.. I’ve worked in mental health for 15 years and even though i don’t claim to know everything I do have an insight into varying mental health diagnoses. I don’t think I’ve bullied you in any way and actually feel aggrieved at you insinuating that if I’m honest but I’m not gonna dwell on it and I’m certainly not going to fall out with you over it either. I empathise with you for the way you see the world but the truth is we all see things different. I wish you all the best on your journey to recovery.

Do not take anything you see online seriously. This thread drops all banter in favour of real, genuine support. So I recommend you avoid the threads and replying in favour of this solace thread mate

so I went to the docs to review my situation yesterday afternoon..

ive gone from 20mg of citalopram to 20mg of fluextine … because I was having repeated terrible nightmares on the citalopram..

ive noticed a real lull in my moods and haven't been feeling at all right , had a couple of bad days when I cant even get up and function, explained all this to the doc yesterday, and they think I should try doubling the dose .. im all for it, as I think it has a chance of working , as on the small dose , although not feeling normal, they were doing something.

on the plus side ive had a couple of nights of uninterrupted 10 hours sleep, something I haven't had in months.

ive started on the 40mg fluextine today.. will see how the next few weeks go.

hopefully i'll feel normal like I did on the citalopram without the horrible nightmares

You were titrated down from the citalopram yeah? They didn’t just stop it abruptly I hope.

I’m sure you know this, but this isn’t really the place for it lads.

no they checked and said I could swap to fluexitine , but start with 10mg for a week, then on to 20mg's...

They should really have weaned you off it but in some instances fluoxetine can be used concurrently. That may explain any lulls though.

I know its only early days, as in one week, but im feeling much better with the higher dose of 40mg now.

No not you. Not gonna name + shame but I blocked the fella who called me a very offensive name. Can assure you this wasn't aimed at you.
