Mental Health Support Society Mk XIII

Completely makes sense. My food odds hit almost all of the diagnostic criteria for AN, apart from BMI (so I'd get diagnosed with EDNOS, but I don't want to mention this to my GP)

Be really careful when looming at diagnosis online, we can almost always find things that fit us, especially with the personality disorders. Best thing is to speak to your doctor about your symptoms. Like last night, I've been diagnosed with all of those so any questions, give me a pm

Then home is a good place to be!

Tell your GP. While how you're doing currently sounds fairly manageable, you don't want things to get worse and not have the support in place (as a worst case scenario).

Yeah, it's nice having food and a kitchen without insects

Okay, I need to go see one on Monday to get more fluoxetine (forgot to pick up my prescription from the docs in aberdeen and I've almost ran out) so I could either ask them, or wait till I see my regular GP in Aberdeen..

Awww! Tiz a lovely piece, for sure

I don't play anymore, tbh. Haven't played properly for about 5 years now Hurts too much

Hehe, we'll have to get you a venus fly trap or two.

I'd ask your regular GP, seeing someone as a one-off isn't going to do much.

THINGS ARE GOING IN AND THINGS ARE MAKING SENSE. LIKE, WHAT EVEN IS THIS. -flails wildly-

can you not just have a coke or something if you don't want to drink?

Tbf last year I was running 8 mile routes 2-3 times a week after full time work so totally slacking this year but I'll get back there sometime

to you too!



When is it due? Do you have a personal tutor you could speak to? What interests you in relation to your degree? That's a good place to start.



hope you feel better soon.



If I had to 'drink' then why don't you get coke because how do they know there is no vodka in there

Get a small diet coke or lemonade and they won't know you aren't drinking. Your body, your choice.

*******

Is everyone okay today? I just read that a very triggering post got through last night (I have no idea how it was approved!) so I just want to be sure that you're all okay *group hugs*

If your friends are decent people, they shouldn't even be bothered about whether you drink or not. I think you can still have fun without drinking, and maybe you could try proving that to them

I love terry pratchet!

Rincewind Same here with being one of my first of that kinda book! I started with Small Gods and remember getting very confused
Have you checked in charity shops? Don't have hardbacks so often - but got a lot of them in paperback that way

Spent the morning looking up whether it might be something other than depression. Bipolar II, Cyclothymia and BPD all have bits of them that fit.. In a way I know that I should tell a GP because it'll be better for managing my mood, but I also don't want anything confirmed if that makes sense

Joining the coffee appreciation group! Time for another one I think

I'm out of milk So it'll be fruit tea until it stops piddling it down.

fruit tea is just as good what flavour?

one of my faves do you read any other fantasy/sci fi fictiony type things?


ahhh love rincewind, possibly one of my fav discworld characters and yeah, i have a coupled in paperback but i just have a soft spot for hardbacks they just look so preeettty in my bookshelves

have you read anything else by terry pratchett? good omens is particularly amazing, he wrote it with neil gaimen and it is hilarious



i know exactly how you feel, i am pretty certain i have elements of BPD because i fit almost all the diagnostic criteria, but i've been just stopping myself looking too much into it and i've been trying to not think about it a lot because i because i was starting to freak myself out about it and it was sending me into a bit of a negative spiral, so they way i see it, the only way to progress is to open up to somebody in authority about my thoughts on it as well as immediately stop the research into it, because its both going to freak you out even more plus it wont get you anywhere if you just keep it to yourself



*hi5* on that one, just had my morning cuppa joe (a bit delayed due to long lie in )

I'm sorry to hear that , must be tough not being able to do something you love. Sorry for all the questions about it, I didn't realise you stopped playing. Hopefully one day it won't hurt too much because you don't deserve to feel like that at all .

Playing a gig today and feeling physically sick about it despite the fact that I know it'll be a really small crowd. Then have a guiding overnight Im helping out at but the voices are SO bad at the moment and I dont want to take my meds and I cant really stop crying and just jdleiejmncinalslwpru

oh I have LOADS. Like, too many.

Yeah he's good, have you read Nation by him? I've hardly read much recently, need to start reading more over the summer, I've been making a list of things to read. I do quite like science fiction, do you have any recommendations?

I for a lot of the criteria for it too, just worried to say anything about it because I've heard of a lot of people not being taken seriously because of it :/

i meant what kind are you drinking atm i know you have this crazy collection going on



ooo no i haven't, must look into it. and i'm exactly the same, haven't read in forever - must say i demolished that book, spent the morning reading and finished it in about 2 and half hours was so nice to read again!

and i must say i read more on the fantasy side of things but there are a couple sci fi authors i do like - Douglas Adams (obv!), Robert Jordan and Isaac Asimov

i like to go on amazon and look through the 'books other people bought' bit of books ive liked, and goodreads is always a good place to start
