Depression Society MKVI

As with anything, the problem lies in how people use it, not the actual thing itself. People are so quick to blame something that isn't themselves, and typical of the government to take the easy way out instead of fixing the problem properly.

- Fire, pretty good for keeping you warm and looks pretty, can be used to burn things.
- Knives, can be used to cut things....including people
- Anything heavy that can be held...can be used to bludgeon people to death.
- Your hands....can be used to punch and strangle people...

By this logic why are we allowed to still have our hands when they have killing potential? Its effing stupid.

I'll end this rant here before the thread derails.

On a side note, this is how i'm feeling right now about life, and made even worse by deadlines on monday and wednesday.

No.. I'm in pain... I fell over in the park because of the rain.... All the paths were slippery. I had a rucksack full of books plus my laptop... I had done something to my back... Lol.. It's really sore... Taken loads of pain killers and gonna have an early night.... Sorry won't be about this evening... But you prolly have loads to do.

I told nurture about him today and she told the assistant head who is going to have a word with him.
Have a psychiatrist appointment on Monday morning where the woman from CAMHS says she's almost certain I'll be prescribed antidepressants, eeeek. She said she'll be in the appointment too so I won't have to do much speaking, yay!
She wanted to come and see me at home on Sunday but I told her it wasn't necessary, hope I did the right thing. This CAMHS lady is so lovely, she practically shouted at the lady on reception to get this appointment for me.
My mum said my uncle had depression when he was my age, I didn't know that. He still has awful mood swings, not sure if the two are related.

Aww! The psychiatrist I'm seeing is Turkish

How are you?

Soo im going to be taking a 6-month break out of nursing... because of my depression.

And when I return I'll have my final year to do.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do for those 6 months?!

Would volunteering for a charity be feasible?

Yeah I can do anything that will help me get better again.

What charity would you say?!

Depends what sort of charity work interests you, for instance if you want to do something with regards to mental health you could do some stuff with MIND, or if you wanted to do something with homelessness then someone like Shelter might be worth contacting. Then there's the likes of Age Concern, Scope, Oxfam etc.

I just don't want to ever communicate with anyone or anything again. I was meant to see go into the out-hospital today to ask how my psychotherapy is progressing and assessing whether I should have a higher dosage, but I just can't go outdoors anymore. It's too much.

Don't even know where to start with how to get involved with one though? But would love to help people/ I really wana go to Africa n do some charity work there but don't know if i'd be allowed!?

Perhaps you could ask a friend or family member to come with you?

I don't have any friends.

And my Mum refuses to believe anything is wrong with me, she still refuses, to the point of throwing medication out. And my brother preoccupies her time as he has psychosis.

I'm usually stronger than this, and capable of doing things, but I just want to go away forever.

Best thing to do would be to e-mail or ring a charity and see if they're after any volunteers at the moment. Can't see why you wouldn't be allowed, I think some countries have restrictions on those with mental health issues entering the countries, but I don't think any in Africa would.

Thanks for all the advice and stuff everyone. I'm thinking I'm ill anyway and she can't stop me this time, so I may just kill two birds with one stone and go into hospital. If the issue isn't sorted out then that's the plan, but just updating everyone. I will try and let you know if I do go into hospital or stay put.
