Mental Health Support Society XVIII

Started an online course about schizophrenia and psychosis, since I am interested in it as I do suffer from psychosis. I love it. Keeps me busy and I find it really interesting.

Have been suffering a lot from headaches the past week or so. Hope it doesn't trigger off voices, but we'll have to see. Hope everyone is well.

Dont hate yourself for it!!
Everyone does it! Its perfectly normal!
Youre an amazing person! Fact!

Ah excellent!
I hope it all goes well for you! And hopefully you can cure yourself of it!

Aw I hope youre ok now!

because of debilitating depression/panic disorder/agoraphobia i had to attend open university for two years to get my qualifications... been accepted at university of nottingham this coming september - so scared/nervous/excited

Thank you

Aw im so sorry to hear about your conditions!
I hope youre well now!!

Ah thats excellent news!
Those are all normal feelings! It will be amazing for you!
What are you studying there?

I doubt I can cure myself of it. Meds don't work and I know that whatever I see or hear isn't actually real. I try though.

Thank you.

thank you! i'm looking forward to all the opportunities and broadening my horizons, i've felt very isolated the past couple of years. it'll be tough but i'm ready. i'm studying philosophy

Ah I see. Tbh I don't think I learned anything from it and I've no idea what the next step will be!

No me neither. Ah well maybe they're only mild panic attacks?
It's always best to be comfortable before making any decisions! Don't do anything too soon as it may make your condition worse I'm afraid.

Hmm that's interesting. I haven't a clue as to what's causing that tbh. Unless it's stress, that's the main cause of all of this. I experienced chest pains during my GCSE's because of stress. It was really scary (esp when it happened in the middle of an exam).
But if you're not under stress, I honestly don't know what's causing it tbh.

Has anyone spoken to Pathway recently? She hasn't been on in a while

I was wondering that. Hope she's okay

I was initially investigated for a pulmonary embolus but they didn't see any signs pointing to that. Then two weeks later I found that I was having difficulty breathing, at first I thought it was my asthma playing up but my inhalers weren't helping. Kept getting worse and felt like I couldn't get in enough air and it got to the point where I kept thinking about breathing 24/7. Went to the GP and she said it's anxiety and prescribed me diazepam which worked wonders. Now on citalopram and it's pretty much gone. I also feel a lot better in general, like I'm happier and more optimistic about life. Guess it was killing two birds with one stone.

Lol didn't mean to write my entire mental health journey. Which is pretty tame compared to many people on here. But anyway.
